There\u2019s triple- and double-A games that always catch the attention of the mainstream media. Then there are those that slip under the radar. And then there\u2019s those<\/em> that raise eyebrows due to the complete bizarreness of their existence.<\/p>\n

We think some of these games deserve recognition, so we’ve have rounded up some of the weirdest and strangest games that you probably didn\u2019t know existed.<\/p>\n

Handball Challenge 13<\/h3>\n

That’s right – the side-lined sport of handball has its own game coming out.<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t the first of its kind though, as Handball Challenge has had a few instalments hit shelves over the years.<\/p>\n

Handball Challenge 13 brings the handball series to current-gen consoles with \u201cfast breaks, spectacular moves and pure emotions\u201d just being some of the action on offer.<\/p>\n

Sneak King<\/h3>\n

Product placement seems to pop up here and there in games these days, but an entire game being a product-placement, that\u2019s different.<\/p>\n

Sneak King, despite featuring a terribly punny title, was sold with value meals in Burger King outlets, and as you may have guessed, was a sneaky plug centred around Burger King\u2019s famous burgers.<\/p>\n

Developed by Blitz Games, Sneak King required players to take control of the Burger King mascot and sneak around various locations to deliver burgers.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Mister Mosquito<\/h3>\n

Mosquitos are irritating. Everybody hates mosquitos. So naturally, developers ZOOM thought \u201cwhy not be one?\u201d<\/p>\n

Mister Mosquito throws you into the insect legs of an irritating mosquito, tasked with sucking the blood of innocent sleep-seekers.<\/p>\n

Be careful though, as the humans can pick up on your devilish plans and attack.<\/p>\n

The game received some relatively decent reviews, so if turning the tables on your own kind is something you\u2019ve considered, Mister Mosquito is right up your ally.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Petz Dogz: Fashion<\/h3>\n

The Petz Dogz series has found its place on Nintendo\u2019s handhelds, with somewhat of a cult following always picking up the latest title.<\/p>\n

One that stands out is Petz Dogz: Fashion. While being outrageously unnecessary, the fashion spin-off lets users to dress up their virtual victims<\/span> pets in everything from booties to sunglasses.<\/p>\n

The only good thing about the game is that it may save some dogs from actually being dressed up.<\/p>\n

\"Petz<\/a><\/p>\n

Seaman<\/h3>\n

Seaman is probably the strangest game you’ll ever encounter.<\/p>\n

Appearing on the Dreamcast, the game requires you to raise a human-faced fish called Seaman.<\/p>\n

You use the Dreamcast’s microphone to talk and interact with the fishy friend, although he’s not the friendliest of pets.<\/p>\n

I’d rather just play Crazy Taxi.<\/p>\n
