10 Worst Christmas Video Games Of All Time

[@DravenCross]

Ayo you better take The Grinch off this damn list boi 🥺

[@SuperRockfrog]

I have such fond memories of The Grinch.

[@balor325]

Same I remember getting so excited every time I found a new blueprint

[@OzzyTravels]

I loved that game 😁

[@Ihateiratehipsters]

Dude same. I also loved the DVD games that came with the movie 🍿

[@ThePs3fanboi]

Grinch fucking slapped. Right game

[@prizzl0]

Dude I had the demo that I played for dozens of hours. I remember it being immersive for the time (and my age) as far as how complex some of the puzzles could get.

[@BlazeHeartPanther]

I actually rather liked playing Elf Bowling and its sequel with the shuffleboard esthetic on my grandfather's computer as a kid. Had no idea there were 8 other installments though.

[@cookscreativecorner]

My dad and I used to play it on our family desktop, too. I miss those days, but it's also been probably eighteen years since then. The memories will live on.

[@TheMortalkombat2007]

That is why Elf Bowling is on the list. It was fine for a flash game but expect better for Nintendo's hardware.

[@Fapaljack]

It was a decent few flash games and the third one was... alright as a low budget low effort 3d sequel for the pc but... they milked it so hard.

[@JacobSmithIsLosingIt]

The Grinch is legitimately fun. Cool level design, too.

[@RyuzakiTaiyou]

I loved the pc version of elf bowling. One of my favourite childhood games.

[@Wolfenstein1942]

@matt still better than yours

[@monkaWGiga]

It was a pretty fun free game but I would not be happy to have it as a full priced game.

[@RyuzakiTaiyou]

@@monkaWGiga yes, I agree. I owned it on a demo disc with a bunch of random demos with it being the only "full" game so I played that the most.

[@matta344]

Elf bowling was one of my favorite childhood games too.

[@aidenisundead]

Honestly if I got Elf Bowling as a Christmas gift I would be so happy, in fact I have a new favorite gag gift. I just wish they made it for more platforms

[@jmccain22090]

How you gonna do the Grinch like that? I absolutely loved that game.

[@TheLost_and_Tony]

I loved me some elf bowling as a younger man it was a little distraction at a much shitter time of my life.

[@JojenReed]

Holy shit! I played Elf Bowling on PC like mad as a wee lad, must have been in 1998! My grandparents had it for some reason hahaha 😅 when you missed, sometimes the elves would turn around and moon you, and slap their buttcheeks and say, "Who's your daddy?" And no I'm not joking. I remember it vividly, my poor 6 year old mind

[@ZackGaz]

I wrote that Elf The Movie review you mentioned at 7:05! Have not played that game since but can recall how bad it is. Super cool that you found my article and used it in your video.

[@bumbertyr]

Nah Nah I'm ready to throw hands. The Grinch was an awesome collectathon game.

[@crackedspyglass]

The Grinch was one of those games I remember renting and wasting my weekend on.

[@rebal180]

There were quite a few Doom ripoffs back in the day. There was a chex game and a Christian game company called Wisdom Tree made an FPS version of Noah's Ark. That's right. There was once a Christian game company that made Bible themed video games. They branded themselves as Christians to avoid legal trouble because their games weren't exactly licensed by Nintendo.

[@jordanscherr6699]

Kinda interesting to see the Grinch on this list. I probably shouldn't be too surprised, it didn't exactly earn crazy scores either at the time, nore now. It's definingly not the worst game ever made though. I would ultimately say it has a place here, but am also glad it's the least of the naughty set.

[@wyzeguy6]

Any list with extra Tim Allen sound effects is a plus for me!

[@cheapshotninja]

Funny, I was just thinking yesterday how much I'd like to play that Grinch game. It's not good and I didn't particularly enjoy it when I played it, but it would really scratch a certain nostalgic itch.

[@michaelandrews1134]

Maybe they could make a Christmas story video game lol. Great movie

[@animationstation1005]

Santa Claus Saves The Earth isn't Number 1? Caddicarus is gonna be pissed 😂

[@pattongilbert]

I was a big of Polar Bowler. Probably my favorite winter-themed game.

[@juliaboon9741]

We only had three games for the PS1 back in the day and one of them was The Grinch. We played it over and over again. I have such great memories of it but parts were frustrating but that kind of went with the territory I guess. We went out of our way to get it back a few years ago and I'm proud to own a copy today! It's nostalgia fuel.

[@insignificantaftermathPROJECTS]

What were the other 2 games?

[@juliaboon9741]

@@insignificantaftermathPROJECTS Spyro the Dragon and A Bugs Life

[@jokerdanny9255]

The Grinch is a good game

Parasite Eve is the greatest Christmas game of all time. Bar none.

[@bobbyburgess758]

The developers responsible for these games should have received coal from Santa

[@SmashBroRazz]

This whole video I was crossing my fingers you guys would include Elf Bowling. I first heard about it in college on a Top 10 Worst Video Games of All Time List from Cracked, and then I happened to work for the studio that made the game lol. When I asked how that travesty happened, one of the artists laughed and said it was handed to them at the last minute by another studio with only six weeks to get it out the door, but admitted that the premise of making it in the first place was a mistake.

[@LajitasRain]

I love Elf Bowling for PC. Leave Brittany alone!

[@SmashBroRazz]

@@LajitasRain I've heard the PC version is actually pretty good. The GBA and DS versions...not so much.

[@scarcesmile9518]

Elf Bowling is one of the best bowling games ever made.

[@otaking3582]

Santa *_Clause_* is supposed to be a pun, as a clause is "a particular and separate article, stipulation, or proviso in a treaty, bill, or contract" [Oxford Dictionary], with the title referring to the part of the previous Santa's business card (written in microscopic print, so this series predicted video game EULA's) that whomever puts on his coat becomes the new Santa.

[@chaospoet]

Santa Saves the Earth sounds like it should be the sequel to the movie Santa Claus Conquerors the Martians.

[@ladypool1404]

I'm surprised the Bootleg X-mas gift game wasn't in the list. It's just '' Running around catching objects '' the game, that's it :S There's no cool power-ups, no levels, no pretty graphics. It's ugly and soooooo boring! Jontron talked about it in his famous Plug and play video. It was funnier and more entertaining than the game, no joke!

[@Championsstudios]

I never beat the Grinch as a kid but I watched KZbin let's play the Grinch and I still love it

[@lukesymons6034]

Elf bowling was good fun on pc. As soon as I saw it I remembered it fondly (from a few decades ago). Simpler times,I miss them

[@gabrielluciano6429]

I don't know why I keep clicking on these TripleJump videos. I don't disagree with the content, I'm just not a fan of the guys constant snarky jokes. I'd rather he not try so hard to be sassy.

[@matane2465]

There's an Elf Bowling movie. It's terrible. Santa was a pirate before he became Santa and Waluigi is his brother.

[@SteveMacSticky]

I don't think Terror in Christmas town is a doom clone, rather it's a Wolfenstein 3D clone

[@Arivia1]

Doom clone was the term used before fps became the name for the genre, but yes the original Pie in the Sky games are closer to Wolf than Doom.

[@Bostonedge]

Am I the only one on the planet that thinks the Jim Carrey Grinch totally sucked? Seriously, when did that film become a classic to so many people?

[@Frieowksf1293]

Obviously, people who can't look at it past nostalgia, I actually always hated the movie ever since I saw it as a kid

[@zackaryford3315]

Same reason people like Elf probably. Huge childhood staple that sucks now. Just like everything else lol

[@ChaseMC215]

There's always Die Hard Trilogy.

[@energydragon1147]

Damn, half of the comments are ppl mad about the Grinch being on here lmao

[@Arivia1]

If people want a Christmas doom experience there are tons of WADs to play. If you want one similarly old and janky in that 90s sprite style, try H2H-Xmas.

[@darrinfromvault801]

Oh man. Looking at the other comments Hell hath no fury like Grinch game fans

[@joeyteter9383]

The original Elf Bowling got so many of my childhood hours back when it came out. Me and my brothers loved that damn game

[@razorbulan]

i actually like The Grinch Game More Then the Movie but the Ending is Horrible you definitely really don't know to play the game that's why you hate it

[@ashleybrown4754]

That giant Tim the Tool Man head grunting made me laugh wayyy too hard.

[@CrocvsGator]

I misread the title as "Top 10 worst Christmases of all time" which I feel would be equally as entertaining and depressing.

[@mikeyfn-a6684]

Whenever someone says "I've seen Jack Frost", they should only be referring to the spectacle that gave us another way to.. appreciate, yeah that's it, the lovely Shannon Elizabeth-'Jack Frost'

[@PhoeniksStorm]

Are there any good Christmas games. I mean games that takes place mostly on or around Christmas. Not games with like one level around Christmas

[@twotailedavenger]

I knew Elf Bowling was gonna top the list, but I was surprised to see The Grinch on this list. Pretty sure being made by pre-pachinko obsession Konami saved it from being worse. It was probably just a little throwaway side project they did to get some extra cash to finish development on Metal Gear Solid 2, but it's one of my favorite platformers for the PS1. The mistake most people make is expecting it to be like the movie.

[@crowsketchcentral4469]

Grinch was a decent game.. even if it's frustrating in some areas lol.. all of my neighbors play with me from November to December back in the day, taking turns and solving puzzles. Good old days.

[@TJDious]

It annually astounds me that Christmas video games are a thing.

[@H6ngman]

The grinch game is amazing

[@williampulfer-melville8536]

Their was a PC Christmas game where you play as Santa with an ice gun and you have to freeze enemies who want to destroy Christmas

Die Hard Trilogy on the PS1: worst Christmas game.

[@12thMandalorian]

Dead Rising 4, because good luck playing that outside of the season and enjoying it

[@codylamp6814]

Yeah, so the Terror in Christmas Town segment has pretty much been lifted directly from LGR. Even down to the Pie in The Sky engine bit. Way to be lazy TripleJump.

I actually got the grinch game as a kid and I had a shocking affinity for it.. Hell, I still kind of do. It's downright awful but there is just something so charming about how piss poor it is.

[@graduator14]

The Elf Bowling movie needs a dark, gritty modern remake!

[@metalvideos1961]

The Grinch was also on the PC. I have finished it and never owned a ps1 in my life

[@aaronworthing1023]

Jim Carrey the Grinch is not a classic. It’s just that people of a certain age grew up on it and therefore because of nostalgia they think it is one. It’s a terrible movie purple

[@xxAmi15]

I played Elf Bowling as a kid on my grandad’s computer when I visited him. I can still hear it 😂

[@grandmastermario3695]

There are also Santa Claus 1 dvd games where you need to get past obstacles using erro keys and answer questions and then after you win you get the prize of watching a little 5 minute Christmas cartoon and then the 2nd Santa Claus you have these missions you need to get by and then last level you have to memorize the colors of which you see I was never able to memorize them all

[@erainmartinez8175]

I see why the artificial tree debate is so controversial. Not only is it weird to say buying a real tree is better (no it's not, it's just a ressource hog), it's also super unfair to go against artificial trees that way.

[@OlviMasta77]

What kind of WhatCulture crap is this?? **likes video**

[@ZEKESPILLEDINKMUSIC]

I am surprised that none of the Home Alone games made it on this list, which are notoriously bad. I am equally surprised that the movie license game based on TOYS (that weird 90s film with Robin Williams) also didn't rank. I had a copy of that game, and it was really frustrating. You end up going around the ZEVO toy factory and destroying weapons with toys that have little to no impact (except for a "Peanut Gun"). The game also changes perspective when players also have to take out elephant-shaped security cameras with a water gun before getting zapped by lasers.
