The Unofficial SuperCheats Top 10 Games So Bad they are actually Good...

03. 50 Cent: Blood On The Sand

We should begin this with the observation that despite knowing who it was about, we really did not know what to expect when we slotted it for the first time -- and what we got? Well it is safe to say it was NOT what we were expecting!

The basic plot of Blood On The Sand has 50 Cent and his G-Unit crew trying to recover a skull that was stolen from them. This is wrapped around what most reviewers refer to as 'a generic shooter engine and world' and as far as plots -- and story -- goes, well, it was not exactly deep.

The mechanics of the game are not bad -- we can even say that it is a tightly controlled shooter -- but its premise, combined with the characters? Oh man they are bad. Painful bad. And yet... And yet...

And yet this is one of the funnest bad games to ever be. A game that is so bad it is good precisely because its setting and characters defy even the broadest suspension of disbelief! You do not have to be a fan of 50 to love this (though it would help). You don't have to be a fan of the shooter genre to love this (though that really will help). You just have to give this really bad game a really descent chance because once you start to get into it, you will end up way into it.

The addictive nature that rises to the top like really bad cream is addiction that is similar to the experience of riding a moped. It is fun to do, but you do not want your mates to see you doing it!

Note: If you are like us, you will be so worried about anyone knowing you played it that you will create a throw-away Gamertag just to play it; so yeah, that's bad.
