The Lame Game Marathon is once again raising funds for UNICEF this weekend

The Lame Game Marathon is back for its fifth consecutive year, playing atrocious games to raise money for UNICEF.

From 12.00pm AEDT on 24 October, the crew at the LGM will stream horrible games for 24 hours straight. They’ll be playing the likes of the following:

  • The Fifth Element (PSX) – Combining all the worst elements of the PS1 era. Including Chris Tucker.
  • Sonic 2006 (Xbox 360) – Is it worse than Sonic Boom? I don’t know, does a hedgehog make-out with a human girl in Sonic Boom? No? Well then.
  • The Incredible Hulk: Pantheon Saga (PSX) – A comic-book licensed game? Where the Hulk has to solve puzzles? This was never going to end well.
  • Trio The Punch: Never Forget Me… (PS2) – Crazy obscure Japanese arcade madness, from Japan!
  • Power Rangers: Lightspeed Rescue (N64) – This game tries to be a platformer, a beat-em up and fighting game, and manages to fail so hard at all three.
  • PLUS a collection of 5 of the worst Kinect Games ever made – including Star Wars Kinect and Steel Battalion.

Steel Battalion is the worst, y’all. No, seriously. Leo gave it a 1/10, and only because we don’t score games any lower than that.

Full disclosure: Stevivor’s Leo Stevenson and Shane Wall (above, far right!) are a huge part of The Lame Game Marathon. Now you know that, and knowing is half the battle… right?
