10 Video Games We Love BECAUSE They're Fun Trash

Sitting in a diner, eating a breakfast cereal sandwich, our protagonist questions the deliciousness of his meal whilst an inane saxophone plays in the background. A few seconds later, we’re back to getting on the trail of the supernatural raincoat killer and being assaulted by crab-walking zombies.

Deadly Premonition has the gall to just do whatever the hell it wants. What this effectively means, though, is that the game is both unpredictable and unbelievably inconsistent in equal measure, and you’ll probably go through phases of wanting to throw the game in the bin and being unable to wait to see what comes next.

Worth noting - Deadly Premonition is ugly. But, like... juggalo ugly. By that, I mean, I can’t tell if it’s intentionally trying to be disgusting or if it’s actually trying to look cool. The UI is grotesque. The game uses about four different fonts. Some textures are stretched like XS tights over a hippo’s backside. And the gameplay? Well, it controls like it wants you to swear, and the gunplay feels like Johnny Five doing aerobics.

But even amidst those scathing, damning remarks, I still haven’t played a game as engrossing.

Isn’t that right, Zach?
