8 Video Games So Bad They KILLED The Studio

Drawn to Death was an online multiplayer shooter developed by God of War creator David Jaffe as the first project from his new studio, The Bartlet Jones Supernatural Detective Agency.

As an arena shooter set within the pages of a teenager's notebook, it rocked a visual style that at least set it apart from other similar games.

But there's no getting around it - Drawn to Death is one of the most garish, eyesore-inducing video games ever made, its deeply unappealing aesthetic made even more intolerable by the game's insufferably edgy, too-cool-for-school vibe.

Plus, it just wasn't much fun to play, because even if you strip away its divisive style, at its core it was basically another generic, uninteresting shooter.

According to Jaffe himself, Drawn to Death was inexplicably produced for an obscene $12 million, so it wasn't remotely surprising that the game was a sales bust.

This resulted in the cancellation of Jaffe's next game and the closure of his studio less than a year after Drawn to Death's release.
