The Judgemental Eye

Alright, whenever a list of "bad games you love" is made, I see the same games over and over again, games that cannot be considered bad by any measure, both in terms of sales, or reviews.

I speak of:

Far Cry 2- Sold 2.9m units as of January 2009.
PC:86%
X360:85%
PS3:85%



Mirror's Edge- Sold over 1m units as of January 2009.
PC: 81%
Xbox: 79%
PS3: 79%

So let's leave these two guys alone. They did better than some people give them credit for.

While some things can be objectively bad, like Big Rigs, I think those two get mentioned by people who are thinking "I should hate this, but I don't." Otherwise decent games that just aren't what people were expecting.

The thing is that reviews are subjective, and professional ones often don't represent the views of the public, and are sometimes just marketing material. Also, sales usually mean that people were interested in the game and so bought it, that doesn't mean it's a good game.
