With me, that situation may arise if I replayed Dead Dance/Tuff E Nuff on the SNES by Jaleco. I remember liking it. But I bet if I play it now I will wonder what I ever liked about it.

DOA Extreme Beach Volleyball - loved it. 
Don't care what people think. I liked the volleyball game itself and the rest of it was a departure from the ramped up Michael Bay over the top shit that was prolific at the time. 
It's was quite a relaxing game that felt like a big of a holiday. And there were virtual tits and bikinis.

This. It was a very simple game but enjoyable in a nice relaxing way. DOAX2 is next up in my tackling my pile of shame list but I'm a bit wary about turning it on for some reason. It feels a bit dirty!

Beach Spikers for volleyball yo, that game was decent.


I liked True Crime: LA. No ps so no GTA for ages 'cept for mates houses.

I actually found the Mean Machines review (Sonic 3 front cover) a couple of weeks ago (I was so obsessed with that review I remember falling asleep with it)

Quality.

Def Jam Vendetta on the ps2 (the second def jam game). Starved of an aki wrestling game and not loving the Smackdown series, DJV was great fun. Blinging up your fighter actual made so much sense in the game and though shallow as hell, it featured some bone crunching moves.

Didn't actually post earlier on for some reason, so I'll try again. This got pretty good reviews, and I've never spoken to a person who played it that didn't like it. The second one is Fight for New York though. I preferred Vendetta, but the second wass still good. We don't talk about Icon though. I quite liked Termninator Salvation. It maybe helps I didn't buy it on release, but whilst it was pretty short, I liked it enough to play it again with a friend. It's Gears basically.

Ah yes, it was fight for NY I was thinking off. I only very briefly played the first one - I think it was even more of a wrestling game then the sequel. 

Another wrestling game that really is nothing special but I love is WWF Royal Rumble on the Dreamcast. It was much more arcadey than the smackdowns and no mercys but it had a real charm to it. Vince and Shane were the boss characters if I remember correctly and it had Tazz in it. Wrestling games are always better with Tazz.

Final shout is for a Yu-gi-og game on the DS called Nightmare Troubadour. I cant say if it was a good representation of the card game/ TV show or if it was even good as a game but I got really into it after picking it up very cheaply in a second hand bin. Perfect handheld fodder.

Totally this. Made me feel dirty.  Oh, and this.

The nadir of cover design.  The type, my god.

Sign out of Xbox Live while playing. I used to do that sometimes. 
The...shame...

It's not LIVE that's the problem,it's the wife and kids!!

I like Altered beast too - I remember having plenty of craic with it in 2 player mode too - was quite a thing back then.

Quite like Toki on the Megadrive too despite the cruel and brutal difficulty and muddy palette.

Two Crude Dudes got a critical panning, me and my brother couldn't have given a flying fuck.

Just shows what was so good and bad about it:





Terrible quality video but loving some of the keeping (esp. Robotnic)!

I think its still a looker though!

Plenty of sports games could be mentioned in here, but the footie game I enjoyed the most that received a critical mauling was Victory Goal on the Saturn.  Basic football played out to classic Sega poodle rock:



Iirc they did go on to make the rather good Worldwide Soccer though (and couldn't resist putting optional RAWK tunes in that).  The odd thing is, looking at that video now it looks a hell of a lot more fun than some of the 32-bit football games I was revisiting recently.  Can anyone spot where they pinched the next round music from?

Great Basketball on the Master System is another title that didn't live up to its name, but I spent hours on it anyway (and I've always detested the sport).

Does Too Human count? I knew it was bad all the way through but I couldn't help but enjoy it.

If they patched out the insanely long death sequence Too Human could have been alright.
