The Bad Game Cast

The Simpsons Skateboarding

 The guys take a suggestion from a listener and play the great rip off that is Simpsons Skateboarding.  The guys play as Bort and Madge to see who can flip the most tricks and grind the most grinds or whatever skateboarding is about.

Brutal Legend

This time the guys are tricked into playing an RTS with Brutal Legend. Tricked is a strong choice of words, as they knew what they were in for. As Jason and Jake both struggle to remember plot points, they discuss a recent movie trailer. Stick around to the end for a special announcement.

Bubsy 3D

A game constantly alluded to, this is the true peak of video game nightmares.  We finally played it and almost didn't die in the process, seriously through out everything you know about bad games because this one is worse.  I don't even have anything witty to put here, I just want the memories and pain to stop.

Call Of Duty Ghosts

Jason and Jake shoot their way through the ins and outs of Call of Duty Ghosts. And by shoot I mean drink. Jason runs through the plot while sounding disappointed. Jake covers the multiplayer briefly and answers questions wrong. Get your Dorito's and Mt. Dew ready.

The Quiet Man

So a game that challenges the player to understand what it is like to be deaf.  That doesn't sound like a terrible concept, and yet concept and execution are so far removed from each other you could drive a barge through them.  Instead of talking about the game Jason decides to make up his own story from the threads laid out and it is a trip.

Anthem

Hot off the press the boys jump into their javelins and fly through Anthem.  Could Bioware win back the trust they lost from Andromeda? Does this game actually have less content than Destiny 2? Does anyone even read these descriptions?

Final Fantasy 13-2

This time around Jason and Jake give another listener suggestion a go with Final Fantasy 13-2. One of them actually played the game, while the other has some lame excuse. Jake gives the plot summary a go and Jason shares his woes with the combat, level up system, and character models. The theme of this episode is achieve the day, so enjoy that.

Big Rigs Over The Road Racing

Jake, Alex, and Jason struggle to stay on topic in this edition of The Bad Game Cast. BIG RIGS is the most complete and best racing game of all time! Sure it started as something that was completely different, and maybe the game is missing a few things but still. The guys also talk about the afterlife, bringing on a special guest for words of wisodm, and about major franchises they hate. So get your hate mail ready for The Bad Game Cast.

Final Fantasy 13

Who loves long RPG's? The Bad Game Cast of course! The guys take a deep dive into another 2009 Square Enix game, Final Fantasy 13. You can pinpoint the exact moment Jake breaks while attempting a plot summary. Alex and Jason get impatient and a good time was had by all. 

Something was a bit wonky with the audio so he also gives an apology upfront. 

Rogue Warrior

In this very special 10th episode, if you're looking for heart pounding non-stop action, you've come to the wrong place! Crack a beer and join Alex, Jason and Jake as they play through Rogue Warrior. A "tactical" shooter that abounds with vulgarity. The guys do their usual thought sharing over drinks and later Jake totally doesnt make up questions to put Alex and Jason on the spot. 

Homefront

In this episode of the Bad Game Cast, join us as we discuss our trials while playing through the classic first person shooter Homefront on PS3 and PC from THQ.

Grim Fandango

This time the guys get their point and click on with Skele Bones! Wait, I meant Grim Fandango! Released in 1998, a game that was received well critically, but not commercially. Jake tells a stupid story about nuns, Jason moves at double speed, and Alex asks the audience to participate in a game. Tweet your answers directly to @thebadgamecast!

Ride To Hell: Retribution

This time its Jake's pick and all three lement over Ride to Hell. You play as Jake Conway, a recently returned veteran from the Vietnam War. What unfolds next is a tale of vengence as Jake Conway seeks to murder those who killed his brother. Its sexist, hard to play, and generally terrible all at the same time!

Warlocked

The guys play Warlocked, an RTS for the Gameboy Color. IGN named this game the best Game Boy Strategy Game of 2000. Jake cries in the corner while Alex and Jason have a conversation about this and other RTS games on various platforms. 

Two Worlds

Now with music! This time the guys play Two Worlds, the legendary open world RPG that is better than Oblivion, as quoted on the back of the box. Listen as they stumble through the story, bad voice acting, glitches and more.
