5 Worst Video Games Of All Time

2. Extreme PaintBrawl

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kg1jK10_Sf4 Ah Extreme PaintBrawl, a hilarious play on words and a hilariously bad game to match! In Extreme Paintbrawl (which I will just call "Excrement" from now on as I can't be bothered typing Extreme Paintbrawl, it doesn't deserve it), you play as a paintballer (PLOT-TWIST!). It ships with one whole method of playing: don't get shot and successfully get the enemy team's flag. Although, obviously, before diving straight into the game, a seasoned gamer will spot the Practice Mode available and head into that first. Although, one will then realise that the practice games have no team-mates, enemies or targets of any kind. Fantastic. So after practising for five minutes, you will be an expert at the only skill you'll need to play this game: being bored out your skull.
So, now that you have completely got to grips with all the elements of the game, diving straight into the real game mode should be easy. But, alas! The intense practice session does not train you to handle the inhumanely, accurate shots the opposite team are. Every shot they take seems to hit you. The practice did not prepare me for the likes of this! Keeping along the line of the AI, it's very bad. In Excrement, the bad AI leads to interesting behaviour. Some everyday natural occurrences in Excrement are other members of your team running into walls and getting stuck in them, getting stuck in corners, getting stuck in the ground, crawling back and forth continuously, spinning in circles and my personal favourite - doing a bizarre version of the moonwalk after getting stuck. Also, even though Excrement was release in 1998 it was shipped as a MS-DOS program. What smart developers; trying to limit the damage they would cause by shrinking the audience who will play it. So, although you may be tempted to play the game to see if it is this bad, first let me assure you that playing around with Excrement is horribly humiliating.

I am a Computer Games (Art and Animation) student who is very passionate about gaming. I have grown up playing, analysing and making video games. I'm interested in all types of gaming. Although, I make it seem like it so, gaming is not my entire life! I enjoy drawing, photography, learning, reading, golf, snooker, travelling and (of course :p) spending time with my other half.
