Is the largely forgotten, 2009 game Wet worth a second look? Miguel Penabella considers the game in relation to grindhouse films and the phenomenon of the "B-game".
Nick writes: "WET was a pretty cool experimental project; a mixture of Stranglehold and Max Payne with a bullet-time mechanic and 70’s china-town movie style."
There were a number of cult classics that didn't sell like gangbusters, but still worked their way into gamers' hearts. Here's WWG list of nine great titles that deserve a second chance on newer consoles
I'll point out that these games are all from the X360/PS3 era - they've already had HD releases when they first came out. Split/Second and Blur - with the crazy vehicle physics capable today, why would we not want sequels to them?
The other games, all a matter of opinion of course, but... thank you for your ads between every single game. /s
Dafuq kinda title is that? These games were already released on HD consoles though...
The video-games industry has been around for a very long time and throughout the years many titles have been released. Just like everything else, there has to have been a badly, inappropriately named titles. Around the globe you come across badly named products, names and places and video-games are not exempt from this. Obviously, this is not a list to comment on the actual gameplay or quality of the game – but just to highlight that maybe the game could have had a better thought out title. Also, these titles are in no particular order, just 10 that stood out for comedic reasons.
Let’s take a look at a few titles that made me question the developers thinking.
Ha! What were they thinking with some of these? Also, that rubber butt is a thing of beauty
Hehe, this made me giggle. 'Half Minute Hero: Super Mega Neo Climax Ultimate Boy' is another pretty good contender.
"Tales of Game’s Studios Presents Chef Boyardee’s Barkley, Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden, Chapter 1 of the Hoopz Barkley SaGa"
and its sequel (that was supposed to come out in 2013),
"The Magical Realms of Tír na nÓg: Escape from Necron 7 – Revenge of Cuchulainn: The Official Game of the Movie – Chapter 2 of the Hoopz Barkley SaGa"
are my best examples, and ridiculous games regardless (Post apocalyptic basketball themed RPG anyone?)
Everything after the original Final Fantasy doesn't make sense! They're popular but the titles of the sequels are bizarre when you think about it
Too bad the sequel was cancelled several years back :(
