Since we've featured the Rocky Horror Show a while ago, Richard Cobbett has recently covered the other RHS game in PC Gamer's Saturday Crapshoot column: www.pcgamer.com/2012/07/07/saturday-crapshoot-the-rocky-horror-show/If my last search is anything to go by, then this might now be the first place on the web to find screenshots for that one, even if they're cropped...

Somebody recommended me this hidden gem for the PS2 titled The Sniper 2 by Midas. I'll let these Youtube videos speak for themselves. Turns out the original Sniper was released in Japan as one of those "Simple 1500" budget games. It's just as awful as its sequel. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-799iMGJeiw

I really need to check out more of these Midas games that I find in the bargain bin. BCV was legendary (well, to me anyway) and maybe some of the others can give me a cheap laugh (90% off!).

So is the EU PS2 Classics lineup trying to become into yet another EU PSOne Classics kind of thing? As in barely any "classics" to speak of? Or maybe the reason Midas released both BCV and Sniper 2 on the PSN is because they know it's infamous kusoge and people will eat it up. Also, I watched that video of the entirety of Sniper 2 months ago and it was hilariously bad. EDIT: As I expected, Midas do know about The Sniper 2's internet infamy, although I dunno about BCV. Here's what they say about Sniper 2 on one of their news articles on their site: www.midasinteractive.com/news.html?news_id=114I'm not sure whether they're being sarcastic or actually do think that the plot's great and the acting's jaw-dropping. Or that the game itself is awesome.

Wow. I haven't seen production values that bad since Zoo Race.

I assumed they put that Sniper game up to coincide with that Sniper sequel which came out recently on current-gen systems (the really good one with kill cam). You know, nab a few easy sales through uninformed users.

Could be that too.

That's not the only game with Sniper in its title that sucks:

Begin recently Record quick plays of arcade games and found some games though would fit this section perfectly.
Brute Force a Insanely Cheap and unfair Beat Em Up with tiny sprites.
D.D Crew a beat em up by Sega that 2 of the 4 characters are useless due to their weird attack animations and range. The game is even missing weapons they is only two Pipe Bombs and knives and you need to use them to pick anything else up.
Body Slam by Sega this was the first time I played this game ever and I get killed in a second the game starts and those character names are kinda racist and weird.
Dai Kaiju no Gyakushu by Tatio is a unplayable mess due to the speed and size of enemy's and the fact your hit box is huge and you move way to slow.

All I remember of Body Slam is the title screen with that huge lady with the whip and biker outfit.
Eighties, eh?

I just noticed that the next weekly kusoge is going to be number 50. I'm ready to celebrate once it's up.

Interesting, didn't know that!

Two suggestions:
Even though I've never seen the Weekly Kusoge go off the first page of the Article subforum, shouldn't this thread be stickied?
Also, How about reintroducing older articles as a kusoge entry while updating them a bit to look like the newer articles, like Hoshi wo Miru Hito or Captain Novolin? This way it gives a bit of time between actual updates of the weekly kusoge while still having an article for it.
One kusoge game I really want to cover is Spy Games: Elevator Mission to be added to the Elevator Action article. It's just....so terrible. Look at this thing:
My only problem is that I have not found this game in my area.

Her long time tag partner, Bull Nakano, actually spent a decent amount of time in the US in the early 90s. Also, @ acidonia, your reaction to the way the game plays out is amazing. "What kind of name is Dum---ooh....WOT???"
