Dumb Ways to Die<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I never played this game as a kid because – as the name suggests – it looked dumb. I understand its objective and how it appeals to the people who would be playing mobile games and using public transportation. But it’s just so babyish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pepsi Man<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019d love to know who the first of the \u201cbrand superhero\u201ds was, and why so many brands after thought the morph-suit-with-company-logo on the chest persona was so useful. It was neat to learn that the Subway Surfers format of gameplay is thirty years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sneak King<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I still can\u2019t believe that this game made it anywhere past a pitch meeting. The \u201cSneak King\u201d\/\u201dsneaking\u201d pun hardly seems funny enough to develop an entire game for. This had to have been one of those tax writeoff games that they knew would perform poorly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chex Quest<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like I\u2019ve said 1000 times before, I don\u2019t play video games. But I know Doom, and I think Doom is awesome. But replacing Doomguy with Chexguy\u2026 that\u2019s genius.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting Over It<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As someone with above-average internet literacy, I know all about this game. Never touched it, never met someone who has, but I could tell you every obstacle in it. I think the little cavern where you have to hook on to the light is the coolest one. You kind of lose me up in the troposphere where you go backwards on all the shipping containers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Painstation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We played this all the time at my buddy\u2019s house in middle school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cow Clicker<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I actually did have Cookie Clicker for like a day. I think all games are pointless – imagine how I feel about these ones. I will say, though, some of the cow avatars are insanely creative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Graveyard<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would never make it to the mausoleum in this game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oregon Trail<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love the Oregon Trail. If I\u2019m on a desert island and you allotted me one video game, it would be the Oregon Trail. It\u2019s so funny and can vary so much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Townscaper<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is this really a game, or is this more of a drawing tool? I thought this game would be more like one of those ones where you have to make a 2D bridge within a budget constraint. Like with the wood and metal and ropes. That was not the case.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
