Just think about it. How many games out there that have been released this year that we could have done without?
Plenty I'd say.
Games such as those dreaded Wrestling games that is based on a sport that is all just pure acting.
Now where is the fun in those games? quite frankly Iv'e played my fair share of these wrestling titles and they are all utter trash!
Probably the only decent thing about them is the fact you can actually see the wrestler's fist connecting with the opponents jaw, something that is amiss in the 'Floor pounding' moves in the TV original.
Then there are those Army Men game's that are continuously pumped out as if we all love them!.
Do we really want them? Is there anyone out there that can put their hand up and honestly say they enjoy these Army Men games in all their forms?
What gets me is that 3DO seem to making a fortune out of them and keep churning out the drivel time after time.
And then there is the Disney titles too!
When have we ever played an outstanding 'Nintendo Quality style' Disney title?
Never! Thats what.
But yet we see the same old gameplay year after year from Disney.
And the dissapointing thing about this is. People actually buy this sort nonsense.
And I don't care what anyone says either, Nintendo is actually right, Quality over Quantity is better for the gamer.
It's time for the '3DO's' of the game developing world to catch a grip.
Agree?

Yes! Someone agrees with me. Yesterday, I was doing just that to my cousin and my brother in a Triple Threat Ladder Match on No Mercy on the Nintendo 64. Wrestling games do indeed rule!

See what I mean?". Well, you can't nail someone over the head with a chair in Simpsons Wrestling. You can't hit them with a ladder, you can't make them bleed. See what I mean?

Yes but Sims are strictly PC Games.
Couldn't see myself playing Flight Sim on Gamecube.

Id they are making moeny from the Army Men games, then someone must be buying them... The series wouldnt have lasted as long as it did if everyone who bought them thought they were rubbish...
Its like, for myselfpretty much all Sim/management games seem dull and pointles...
However, a good many people enjoy the greatly (the success of the Sims/Roller Coaster Tycoon, etc... prooves the point)
But thats the beauty of having a large number of releases, though many will be pap, it allows games to cater for all interests, and, often even games that miss the mark may have an interesting innovation for other developers to nab (even if its what not to do in a game?)
Different strokes for different folks I guess?
:)
