We were discussing this over on another board, I'd like to open it up here. We all enjoy bad movies, bad music, TV shows even we think to be rancid. So why not games? Which games do you love despite it's best efforts to make you hate it. And I don't mean "Monkey Ball was twitchy and short, but I still liked it." I mean properly rancid games. Games so utterly incapable of even coming close to the giants they aspire too, games that genuinely look like they were throw together in a day by the work experience boy. Dig deep now ladies and gentlemen:

 

For me, it has to be the epically bad Reign of Fire for GC. The graphics are dark, brown and would shame a calculator. The animation looks like it was coded by dancing hamsters and (most heinously for a game based on Halo's excellent vehicle sections) the physics have the feel and realism of a deflating bouncy castle. The collision detection is itself like watching a car crash in slow motion, tiny pieces of barbed wire an unassailable obstacle even for a military APC while hulking dragon corpses prove more accessible then a McDonalds drive through.

 

And yet somehow I keep coming back. I don't know why but tearing around in an armoured jeep, knocking fuzzy dragons out of the sky before bouncing off awkwardly to save the next distressed grey-blue block (villagers, apparently) on the map just keeps me coming back. I mean, you're fighting dragons. In jeeps! How awesome is this?
