Video Games Need to Start Experimenting with Schlock

The video game industry should consider tapping into the schlock genre more often. Awesomely bad games appeal to more fans than it realizes.

B-rated — or schlocky — movies have been around for generations. Films like The Toxic Avenger and The Room have become wildly successful despite their subpar quality. However, while schlock is alive and well in the film industry, it is still mostly uncharted territory in video games — and that’s unfortunate.

Games like Deadly Premonition have become cult classics thanks…
