Jazzpunk

Also known as:  N/A

Developer: Necrophone

I want to have surgery done so that I'm able to have this game's babies. Jazzpunk is a short li'l adventure game loaded with humor, and plenty of the immature kind, too...You sit on a whoopie cushion in the first few minutes of the game, which helps set the tone for what you've got in store for you. Not all of the humor is going to click with everyone, but I loved the vast majority of it. The other nice thing about Jazzpunk is that there are plenty of easter eggs to find. If you just play straight through, you can probably beat it in an hour or so, but there's so much extra to discover by just walking around and interacting with things and people that have nothing to do with the story. Enough where you can basically triple or quadruple your play time by looking for it all. I beat the game multiple times just to ensure that I saw everything that Jazzpunk has to offer...And then again just because I like it enough to do so. It may not be the greatest game ever made, but Jazzpunk is definitely one of my favorites...and if this list was PURELY based on my favorites, Jazzpunk would easily be in the top 100.

Jerry Rice & Nitus' Dog Football

Also known as:  N/A

Developer: Judo Baby

Jerry Rice and Nitus’ Dog Football is such a ridiculous game that I can’t help but love it. The concept of dog football is that the quarterback is a cartoony, over-the-top person and their teammates are two different dog breeds. You play football like normal. The dogs run in formations and you pass the ball or chew toy to a dog and let them run towards the endzone. As you advance to the endzone, you may obtain points. After getting a touchdown, you can either run or pass to add all of those points to your score or kick the ball to add half of those points to your score. It’s a nice little twist that makes it a little more different from the real sport…well, aside from replacing players with dogs, that is. Despite my initial praise for it, keep in mind, this game is not very good. In fact, the controls can be very annoying at times…but it’s such an oddball concept for a game that I can overlook that and enjoy myself here. Plus, I love dogs, so seeing dogs acting like how dogs would act in the game just makes me smile. Dog Football is a nice novelty game for people that enjoy playing bizarre stuff, but if you’re looking for a good, quality game, unfortunately, you won’t find it here.

JFK Reloaded

Also known as:  N/A

Developer: Traffic Games

JFK Reloaded is a controversial game, as it puts you in the shoes of Lee Harvey Oswald and has you attempt to re-create the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Supposedly, it was made as a way to simulate the assassination to see if the official documentation of his death was correct or not. But anyway, the game can be mildly amusing for maybe five minutes...but after playing the same scene over and over and over again, it gets old very, very quickly. The subject matter may also offend some folks...I don’t offended too easily, so I don't fit into that group, but I’d certainly understand why someone would be offended here. I did enjoy the audio quite a bit in this game - using actual audio was a nice touch...But, again, the gameplay is mostly lacking. History nuts might think this is worth checking out, since it can be a little fun testing out all the theories out there to see how they work out...but considering the time you'll play the game probably won't be much longer than the amount of time it takes to install and uninstall the game from your computer, it's probably not gonna be worth it for most folks.
