I will be playing ten games that PC World deemed terrible enough to be considered the worst video games of all time. I will liveblog the games as I play them, and post a detailed review (providing I can still think straight) after I finish or give up on each one.

The games are:

1. E.T.: The Extraterrestrial (Atari 2600)
2. Super Columbine Massacre RPG (PC)*
3. Custer’s Revenge (Atari 2600)
4. Daikatana (N64)
5. Pac-Man (Atari 2600 port of the arcade game)
6. Smurf Rescue (Atari 2600)
7. Shaq Fu (Super Nintendo)
8. (Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch) Make My Video (Sega CD)
9. Prince of Persia: Warrior Within (I’ll be playing the PSP version)
10. Elf Bowling (Nintendo DS)
11. BONUS: Dream TV (Super Nintendo)**

*I wasn’t aware that this was on the list when I accepted the challenge, but I really do want to see if it “asks more of its audience than rudimentary button-pushing and map navigation; it implores introspection” as the developer claims.

**Requested by a friend who has played the game and described it as “the shittiest shit to ever shit”.
