Thats just silly, if games were easier then playing them would be shorter which is less value for money. Crazy.

As opposed to not completing a game and leaving it on the shelf, knowing that you have x percent left but can't get past an objective?

Its a difficult thing, making a game which you can complete but doesn't get boring in the process. However, if games are too easy, then it would be pointless... surely.

FS.
I got Metroid: Zero Mission today, played it for 1 hour 15 minutes and I'm 70% through, and no it isn't on easy.
Games are already too damn short and easy, it won't be long before my dog can complete the next Mario game.
The only thing sadder than this is the fact you're looking at the Newsround site...

this is just stupid, games released nowadays are much too easy anyway. You sometimes get one of the select few games that actually take a long time to complete, whilst still remaining fun to play, but mostly they are much too easy.
The supposed "simple" games of the past have quite often been the most difficult I have ever played...especially the old NES games.

I have an idea: How about putting easy, normal and hard difficulty settings in games?
Anyone else think that this is just a way of making games more accessable to casual gamers?
Of course it is. Easier and shorter can be beneficial to players and developers - less chance of the project going astray as hopefully it should mean more time can be spent on other things, or even shorter release dates inbetween games. Another words, more games from developers in the same amount of time.
Remember most people who own consoles nowadays actually need to work, and use their other spare time for other things. When you think about it, there isn't much time left over for games.

Of course, I understand your point of view; I'm a regualr games player myself (which isn't surprising given what I do as a living), and I too find games easy to complete; but then I am known to play 2-3 hours straight on many days of the week. Bear in mind a lot of folk don't have the time teenagers and young adults do.

I kind of agree with that guy, but if they do that they will have to either offer downloadable levels and stuff (well, maybe not for the Cube)or make the games cheaper because whats the point playying a game your gonna complete in hours. You might as well rent it out.
