15 Worst Gaming Heroes Of The Last Generation

9. Jake Conway - Ride To Hell: Retribution

If you're a star in what is pretty much universally accepted as one of, if not the worst game of gaming's seventh generation, you're going to get on a list such as this. Jake Conway, biker, idiot and sexist-extraordinaire is completely unrelatable, poorly voice acted, stars in a game that's so bad its laughable and - most hilariously - stars repeatedly in awkward sex scenes constantly where everybody involved leaves their clothes on. Better still, Jake is surrounded by his equally irritating biker chums, likes to spend his days taking part in motorcycle drives that feel like you're driving a truck made of glue through a pile of glue, and just generally looks like a bit of a tit. Of course as is the case with all things terrible - see the Mortal Kombat movies or Batman, circa 1960 - it's important to actually experience these things first hand for yourself to see how bad things really can get. Then you can laugh about it and feel better about all the churned out AAA sequels you were just getting sick of. Huzzah for Ride to Hell and well done Jake, you're officially a turd.
