10 most boring video-games of All Time

There is a reason why video-games exist – to provide an alternative source of entertainment, apart from books and movies. There is something about video-games that brings out the child in us, no matter what our age is. That’s why we long to get hold of our consoles, once we get back to our homes after a dreary day at work or school.However, there are some people in this world who hates this simple fact of life, and went on to create games that defaces the real reason why video-games exists – entertainment. This time, i present to you, ten games that could easily put you to sleep faster than the technique of counting sheep.

#10 Sensible Train Spotting

Starting off with one of the most exciting games of the list, here you have to jump off trains…err…sorry…I played it wrong….here, you have to sit on a lonely desk in a completely desolate station, equipped with a pad and a flask and….spot the numbers of the trains that’s passing by.

No, you haven’t misread me…that’s all you have to do in this bore of a game. I would rather spend my time counting all bhel-puri stalls at the railway station than waste my time here.

#9 Euro Truck Simulator

Another very exciting game. This is for all those who were forced to become doctors and engineers by their orthodox parents, but would have rather desired to be the most exciting professional of all – a TRUCKER! ETS helps you relive that childhood dream where you drive a truck across European locales, that too within speed limit (This is not NFS, idiot! This is a very responsible game…), deliver cargo, drive again, pick up more cargo, drive again and so on…

When you reach the end (if there is any), please don’t fail to thank the developers for fulfilling the most cherished dream of yours!!!

#8 Street Cleaning Simulator

Don’t run away…Please…no…wait...let me say something first...yup, I agree that name suggests what the game offers…I know you don’t like to clean your own houses, how much filthy it looks. But it’s a game, man. No…there are no gang wars with trash cans…no…you can’t make dung-bombs…Nope, you can’t use the trucks to plan heists…You can only use this game to clean streets, day and night…What? Still not interested? Wait, I have another game for you…It’s called Garbage Truck Simulator! Why are you running away?

#7 Imagine: Babysitters

If you love to relive the excitement of handling babies who cry at the top of their lungs, I have something for you. If you look forward to cleaning their poop, and run after them to make them sleep, and then rearrange all that they have messed up, I have something for you.

If you feel that the life of a baby-sitter is the most exciting career prospect, man, I really have something for you. No…Not this game, which basically has everything to make your above dream come true. What I have is just a piece of advice – Please get a life, man!

#6 Pro Cycling Manager 2005

This is for all those lazy turds who are too sluggish to place their bums on a bicycle seat and pedal away. Sorry, playing this game won’t let you lose those extra calories, but it will certainly help in wasting more of that leisure time of yours and also increase the dullness in your brains. This game will also show you some amazing stunts that even Lance Armstrong, with all his drugs, can’t possibly dream of achieving – like a ninety-degree corner swerve.

Still sitting there in front of the PC? Get up lazybones, and go cycling…for real!!!

#5 Tail of the Sun

If I tell you that this game offers you an opportunity to explore the life of a caveman, I am sure I would be seeing excitement in your eyes. You would be imagining yourself wearing animal-skin, wielding a heavy club, guarding your territory like a lion, hunting some dinosaurs (I know…I know…they were extinct before we came in…but it’s imagination, man!), and woo some hairy wild cave-woman, while fending off another cave-man vying for her affections.

Sorry to be a spoilsport, but this game doesn’t cater to all those clichés. All you have to do is wake up, roam, collect tusks to build a tower(I have no idea what for…), swim and sleep…Yup, that’s what a real cave-man does…At least that’s what the developers thought when they made this one…Shame on you for having such romantic notions!

#4 Journey

Philosophy is good in books; philosophy is good in movies; but a game that’s entirely based on philosophy? As Chris Pratt would say in ‘Jurassic World’, ‘Probably, not a great idea!’. This 2012 game was critically acclaimed and has won several awards, but that doesn’t stop it from being boring, right to the core.

You are a wanderer lost in the desert, who keep on walking and walking and walking, meet a couple of people, send a musical chime, and then keep on walking. I admit, the visuals are amazing and the BG score is very soothing, but if I have to spend a few hours of my life walking in a desert, and practically do nothing else, I would rather watch Arnab Goswami ranting out on Times Now.

#3 Naughty Bear

No, there is nothing naughty about this bear. In fact, they should have called it ‘The Incredibly Amazing Boring Bear’! Or ‘‘The Incredibly Amazing Boring Serial-Killer Bear’!!! Oh yes…the titular bear is a killer!!! He likes to murder other bears who managed to get onto his wrong side.

If you thought this was like some noir thriller game, you are wrong. Even with a murderous teddy bear in hand, the developers, who are completely sick in mind for creating this, could do nothing but make a snore fest of what could have been an interesting premise. Even Yogi Bear was far more dangerous than this one. And he lives up to that title!!!

#2 Sneak\'n Peek

Believe it or not, there are some people in this busy world, with plenty of time in their hands, who have made a video-game out of Hide and Seek. You head it right, a video-game based on our lukka-chuppi!!! For a wild moment, you would have thought that maybe this game would you opportunities to hide in places like Jupiter, or the Andromeda Galaxy or even some Huge Hollywood Mansion.

I hate to disappoint you, but it doesn’t! You have to hide out in a stupid house that has four dinghy rooms! Come on, the hide and seek I played in my childhood was way, way more dangerous and adventurous than this. At least I had the guts to hide near my teacher’s house during a game, after having bunked school! Learn from that, your lazy girlfriend-less developers!!!

#1 Desert Bus

This game was technically a part of another video-game called ‘Penn and Teller’, that never got released. However the details of this mini-game got leaked and people became excited, and they had to release this as a stand-alone game. I have absolutely no damn idea why people were excited about this one.

All you have to do is drive a bus, with no passengers, from Tucson to Las Vegas, that too in real-time. There is no traffic on the roads, all you can see is a wide landscape of desert, you have to obey all traffic rules, and there is no cliff to commit suicide if you are suffering from sheer boredom! If some of you readers are still interested in knowing what lies ahead, nope…there are no casinos to hit at Las Vegas. All you are going to face is a dreary return journey. Zzzzzzzzzzzz!!!
