Watch the most awful openings ever without having to play the games

3. Drake of the 99 Dragons
2003 | Xbox, PC

Drake of the 99 Dragons is widely regarded as the worst Xbox game ever made, and going by the intro alone, it's easy to see why: its hero is a slack-jawed, dead-eyed zombie assassin with bad hair who's fascinated by his own guns and can't be bothered to close his mouth. For all that time he spends with his yap hanging open, it never moves when he talks. And he talks a lot, mostly to explain the game's uninteresting backstory to himself. He also has this really creepy way of moving - not creepy because he's a corpse, but because he keeps sliding around on his knees, touching himself and not knowing where to point his guns (hint: open mouth).

After graduating from college in 2000 with a BA in journalism, I worked for five years as a copy editor, page designer and videogame-review columnist at a couple of mid-sized newspapers you've never heard of. My column eventually got me a freelancing gig with GMR magazine, which folded a few months later. I was hired on full-time by GamesRadar in late 2005, and have since been paid actual money to write silly articles about lovable blobs.
