Bad games are released all the time, and some are worse than others. This is nothing new. However, it really takes a special kind of awful to be considered one of the worst games ever made. So when this special kind of awful makes an appearance, it’s truly something to behold. Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing is one of those rare pieces of work.

Working in budget game development, I’ve hoped that our game gets good reviews. That said, I also hope that we never get a review as bad as this. I’ve NEVER seen a video game review this bad. I mean hell, we’ve at least got collision meshes working in our standalone.
Watch the video…. the looks of pure frustration, despair, unabashed hopelessness can’t help but make you laugh.
