TV Shows That Made For Really Bad Games

by Terrence O'Brien on August 11, 2008 at 04:23 PM

Worst Video Games Based on TV Shows
Licensing TV and movie properties to make video games is one the great and tragic pastimes of game studios desperate to make a quick buck. Games based on movies and TV are notoriously bad, but some reach levels of awfulness that must be seen to be believed. Games such as the one based on "Jackass" are so terrible that playing them for more than two minutes at a time is considered dangerous by the surgeon general.

And if you thought that these games were bad just cause of terrible execution, you are dead wrong. Some games we can't even figure out why they were made. Did "American Idol" or "Survivor" really need a virtual version that anyone could take part in? And what exactly are you supposed to do in a "Pimp My Ride" game?

Of course, despite the horrible quality of most of these games, gawking at and discussing them is just so much fun, which is why we're enjoying Asylum's round-up of said terrible tv-show-based games. Check it out. [Source: Asylum]
