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

02. Bloodrayne

Here is a game that really truly should have been awesome. If there was any justice in the world anyway... But it wasn't. It was bad. It was bad in a way few bad games can be bad.

Start with the cover art - a hot red-headed vampire chick who looked, well, hot - so hot that ANY game that had her in it would have to rock, right? Except that once you actually slotted the game the character that was her was NOTHING like HER.

The reason for that is simple: the graphical engine and world were five generations old!

The game play world in this one was something like what you played on the Atari 2600 back in the day! Well, not really, but it felt like it. Where was that hot red-headed vampire chick? Well she is there, but decidedly not hot unless you know, a pixelated blur has the ability to arouse you?

So yep, really iffy animation that is almost as bad as paper dolls and stop-motion recording, combined with an incredibly loose and difficult to master set of controls, then frosted with a plot that you actually feel insulted to use the word 'plot' to describe, and you have Bloodrayne!

But hey, it is a good day in a bad game when you get to restore your health by jumping on and wrapping your legs around a Nazi before you suck their blood out to regain HP -- and that doesn't even begin to touch on the whole stumbling-around hack-and-slash combat system, or the pornographic noises she makes while getting that HP back. Heh.

There is a reason this one is the Number Two So Bad it is Good Game for this list - because really, the only way it could be improved is if Mickey Rourke played the voice for Bloodrayne, and speaking of Mickey Rourke...
