10 Video Games You Should Play (Even Though They Suck)

1. Cho Aniki

Because of Cho Aniki's uncreative gameplay, repetitive tunes, and the badly digitised sprites, this Japanese bullet-hell sidescroller can't be classified as a good game

But it's definitely an entertaining one. Considering its title translates into "The Ultimate, Invincible, Most Galactically Powerful Man", you can immediately tell Cho Aniki is going to be nuts.

While you're blast through each level, you can't help being distracted by the horde of oiled-up musclemen in speedos, gyrating across the screen. If you think you'll eventually get used to these bizarre visuals, I assure you that you won't.

Every five seconds, you see something utterly ludicrous, but mesmerising. Baddies using body-builders as pogo sticks. Snail frogs. Machine gun geishas. Naked giants who are also spaceships. A balding Arnold Schwarzenegger shooting you with his robot penis. Also, nearly every enemy sounds like they are climaxing as they die.

Cho Aniki's gameplay may be mediocre, but that doesn't change the fact there are gamers across the globe who will do anything to get their hands on this work of art. We can't promise you'll enjoy the game, but we can guarantee you'll never forget the wonder that is Cho Aniki.
