19. That Game Of 'Battle Tag' At E3

E3 in 2010 had some really weird showings - which we will see more from later on in this list. One of these was Ubisoft's unveiling of Battle Tag, which Ubisoft tried really hard to make seem like it wasn't just a glorified Lazer Tag. But it wasn't even a glorified Lazer Tag, it was just Lazer Tag.

Throw in Joel McHale, someone who notoriously doesn't do all that hot when presenting video games, and you just get a confusing train-wreck of a presentation. 

It starts with a bunch of actors running around and awkwardly shooting at each other with sound effects as McHale hides behind a box and makes random and unfunny comments. Eventually McHale is forced into showing off a game mode that's somewhat of a race. I say "somewhat of a race" because it's not really a race and nothing really even makes sense, as clearly shown by McHale. 

It's one of the more confusing and awkward press conferences that's come from E3, but oh boy does it get stranger...
