The 5 worst bullshots in gaming

14 October 2016

Gaming marketers can have it tough sometimes.

Despite what many say, gaming is predominantly a visual medium and first impressions do make a difference.

That means every now and then, when a game doesn’t look so great graphically, they “spruce” it up a bit and pretend it’s the real deal.

Hence the term “Bullshot”.

The term was first coined by Penny Arcade way back in 2005. You can read here to know more about how this term came into existence.
