if TV is generally not as good as movies
and games based on movies are generally
terrible what does that tell you about
games based on TV whoa
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’ll
be counting down our picks for the top
10 worst games based off TV shows I rang
the alarms calling in the abomination
since there are so many horrible rush
jobs out there we decided to rule out
smartphone and handheld games since a
lot of those titles were clearly
released on brand name only and even
talking about them would be incredibly
boring assuming all of my residents are
on top of their game we also ruled out
game shows since most of these are quiz
based and need to pull off a minimal
amount of gameplay to succeed although
reality TV is fair game
this job is deemed too dangerous number
10 the simpsons wrestling never shy of
dipping into various video game genres
this title sees our Springfield Ian’s
pitted against each other in a wrestling
ring
I’m the bzz you please the prospect of
laying the smackdown on Flanders is
certainly appealing but the positive
stop with the concept alone horrifying
graphics and terrible collision
detection combined with the incredibly
limited move set make this an insulting
button masher not worthy of the beloved
cartoon series number nine Grey’s
Anatomy the video game but I can’t deal
with him growing up without a mother I
need you to make an effort Huan ER
thought that a medical drama show would
work as a video game do these
demographics eat it intersect at all I
don’t think you’re ready dr. grey
regardless what we got was a jumbled
mess of minigames and cutscenes that
occasionally resembled a video game
focusing on a new story centered around
an outbreak at Seattle Grace the game
does achieve the feel of a Grey’s
episode nice and lewd Alex yet the
bizarre cutscenes determined holy by
unrelated minigames seriously detract
from the trauma center style gameplay
and considering that’s the closest thing
you get to actual gameplay that’s saying
a lot
number eight Game of Thrones I’ve
betrayed
I’ve murdered I’ve lost everything
boasting a story worthy of George RR
Martin’s fantasy epic this RPG exists as
a parallel to the events unfolding on
the small screen and it even links up
with iconic characters from the series
there is no middle ground unfortunately
that’s where the parallels end
essentially everything else is poorly
executed
I am the stunned Hill Payne the
character models and sloppy animations
sorely letdown what truly was an
innovative plot the gameplay is also
boring and repetitive leaving diehard
fans and casual gamers alike feeling let
down by a title that promised so much
and delivered so little number seven
lost via Domus via Domus that’s Latin
means the way home but the show itself
being such a lightning rod for
polarizing opinions it was always likely
that a video game adaptation would be
similarly divisive question is what kind
of man are you
its plot will make little sense to
anyone but diehard lost fans and the
gameplay is not nearly immersive enough
to appeal to a wider audience
get this there’s a gun that you can use
in the game but you only ever shoot
three bullets the whole time and if you
think the iconic characters can save
this mess you’re up for disappointment
I’m just trying to keep up with you
sweetheart any authenticity is
completely lost in the terrible
impressions made by the standing voice
actors they like to go shutting off into
the jungle to play superheroes number
six American Idol I thought you were
astounding what a wonderful voice it
perhaps may not be a surprise that a
singing game that isn’t actually based
on your ability to hit the right notes
wasn’t successful but apparently
somebody thought that it would be a good
idea
we were instead given a rhythm-based
title that looks rushed to market the
graphics make the judges look hideous
and the lack of direction makes the
whole show look boring oh my gosh this
was a shameless cash-in on the immense
popularity of the show and it resembles
a humiliating audition more than
anything else the guys can’t decide so
number five home improvement power tool
pursuit this is one of the most bizarre
games on this list if not in the history
of games for those of you who missed it
in the 90s home improvement was about a
family man who hosted a home repair show
it certainly did not feature dinosaurs
or ancient temples or ghosts or giant
spiders in fact almost all of the
endearing elements of the show were
completely abandoned in this utterly
random 2d platformer that was surely
never right for a video game adaptation
to sum this up and Tim the tool man
Taylor zone words were number 4 doctor
who returned to earth before I’d hate to
be on board during a one shall we hop
into the TARDIS and go back in time
where this game was never invented that
would probably be for the best sounds
like we need to take a closer look you
read my mind even for a title on the
Nintendo Wii the graphics are laughable
and the gameplay concept even worse
the controls were clunky progress was
slow and annoying and the game even
breaks the show’s lore by giving Amy a
sonic screwdriver
ha sorry
despite Matt Smith and hearin Gillian
reprising their roles even they can’t
save this unholy mess it wasn’t released
in North America and believe me that’s a
blessing
number three The Walking Dead survival
instinct no not the fantastic
point-and-click adventure by telltale
but rather the poorly rushed
first-person shooter you do get to play
as bad as redneck Daryl voiced by Norman
Reedus complete with his cool ass
crossbow but the Walker AI is so
absurdly stupid even for zombies as they
seem to care more about attacking
chain-link fences and can be avoided
entirely by standing on a car jumping
over a barricade or simply sprinting by
them melee combat isn’t any better as
the zombies go down without any effort
each but fear not because this game is
mercifully short which you bellyache and
you’re giving me a headache so number 2
pimp my ride I don’t even know where to
start with this one what could have
maybe been a cool racer with endless
opportunities for customization
somewhere along the line was turned into
a car crash of different genres we’re
boring free roaming and minigames
attempt to create a Frankenstein monster
that in some form represents MTV’s hit
show Marcia
all I can say is oh this thing runs well
enough to drive to the hospital the
ghost writing segments are as ludicrous
as they are boring and the actual
pimping mechanics are nothing more than
dull button prompts
and that leaves exhibits admittedly
decent voiceover as the only saving
grace for a game based in pimp city you
have a long career here Jim City before
we unveil our top pick here are a few
honorable or in this case this honorable
mentions
they’re all dead sir what’s going on
here it’s the ship’s original crew they
must have been killed when the ship was
taken over
number one Superman 64 what else could
have topped this list than a game that
made our worst games of all time list
based on the series Superman the new
adventures the level design is a
minimalist to say the least
the graphics are a little more than
blocks of color and the game’s
challenges are monotonous then there’s
no time to waste
said challenges mostly involve guiding
Supes through floating rings that
criminal mastermind Lex Luthor has set
out as a challenge because but the real
challenge here is dealing with the
innumerable often hilarious game
breaking bugs do you agree with our list
I’ve had second thoughts about this one
with so many video game tie-ins making a
mess of their source material we’re
bound to have missed something
yeah that a girl you officially been
pimped for more top 10s published daily
