Tag: Kusoge

Japanese term for “shit game.” This tag applies to all reviews of games that could be considered quite bad. Some of these may even win a poop ribbon for their horridness. (Or just because a game annoys me so much.)

Review #1250 – Hell’s Kitchen: The Game: Le Jeu (Wii)

You would think that a Gordon Ramsay-endorsed video game with voice bytes from the man himself would be an exciting proposition… but alas, it turned out to NOT be the case. As such, rather than being treated as something with pomp, circumstance, pyro, ballyhoo, and whatever hyper hyperbole terms you wish to apply, this is just the usual video review effort that every other game gets.

In other words, keep your expectations exceedingly low and you’ll be fine… much like today’s subject matter, strangely enough.

Actually, I’m glad I held off on the Tuesday upload because a recent session of play actually highlighted a couple more points that were added just before the rendering process. The end result was something that turned a subpar seven minute review into a slightly more par ten minute review.

Review #1240 – Nickelodeon GUTS (Super NES)

Do you have it? ‘Cuz I sure don’t.

For those keeping count, this is the 100th video review done this year. And to celebrate the occasion, we have a rush job video that I was going to save for a rainy day, but alas, I had an opening and most of the other stuff isn’t ready.

For what it’s worth, the Halloween Week is planned out and somewhat ready to go.

Review #1239 – Fight For Life (Jaguar)

Oh boy… this was painful. And on a sidenote, I do want to issue an apology in advance. I normally want to get the best possible gameplay for a game and considered using the hidden feature that let the CPU play itself, but realized it would be a bit of a fib when it could play the game better than any human player with gimped controls ever could, so you get this paltry effort.

Yeah, regardless of its final state, it was a product that Atari tried to sell to people and later put on a compilation disc for consumption. Therefore, it’s going to be treated as such. Even if I got a free copy, I’d still want my money back.

Review #1238 – Club Drive (Atari Jaguar)

The Atari Jaguar strikes again! Does anyone have any rights to games for this system that are the drizzling shits?!

Good thing this isn’t one of those… or is it? Club Drive is often touted as one of the worst racers ever made and I suppose you could say that as a racer, but as a toy box of sorts… this is one of those instances where I was expecting the worst and came out the other end quite satisfied. Don’t get me wrong; Club Drive isn’t a good game per se, but it isn’t a total dumpster fire… just a partial one.

The next one coming up on Friday, though? That’s the real tragedy.
