Games they have there moment, they grab our attention on their TV adverts. We all know the occasional advert and we go oh yeh i want that, it is only £39.99. It looks great sounds great and everyone is buying it, we go down the shop buy it play it and then you find out it is not what you expected, every now and then it does something wrong then the things it shows you on the tele seem slightly misjudging and the game begins to gather dust. Until a month later another one comes out you get it play it and it happens again, a year later this happens but it is maybe a sequel, you buy it and play it weary about its prequel. This sequel is somehow like the first but is better as though it is making up for something which wasn't quite right like its past mistakes. All the letters of complaint from the first are put into a game which will make you play and play are we being tested on so that big companies can make money out of us. A year later we see another sequel not so good then the last but is still better than the first, but in the same way as the first it is lacking things we buy it play it let it gather dust then they bring out a new one which has everything which is great. I think that in the future people are going to stop buying games with big names because of this. On Thursday i bought Road Rash JailBreak it is a really good game better then Rayman and all the other games like croc and i got it for £9.99. It is really good i have had about 16 hours out of it so far.

To put things simle, I think:

Pokemon is crap
Zelda is crap
Smash Brothers is crap
Shoot 'em ups are great
Platformers are good
Racing games are good if they are the cartoony type like Mario Kart
Strategy games are good

Okay?

So according to Gaming boy:

Zelda is crap, Pokemon is crap, Smash Brothers is crap, everything else is just crap...

I think we've got ourselves a multiformat cynic here.


Either that or he gets himself way too hyped up about big releases only to find that it was impossible to live up to.

Hi, Quazi.

I remember when I bought Zelda Ocarina of Time for the N64 because of all the ads and magazine articles and fuss from people saying it was great. I only played it for about a week. It's so crap that I could call it the worst game I've ever played...EVER! In fact, I think I will. Zelda OOT is the worst game to ever see the light of day. Because of that, I'm reluctant to buy the sequel, Majora's Mask, because you can bet your life it's just as crap.
