There is nothing like beating the brain cells out of someone in a wrestling match. But what if you could do it in your own backyard or to be more precise, garden. Well there is a new game that lets you do this on the big green box aka Xbox.But could they stretch it even further I mean like when you wrestle in a no holds barred match you are not able to pull out a shotgun and blow his brains out or pick up the commentator and make your opponent eat him*Mmmmmm good old J.R with hot sauce*

Am I asking too much for the game developers or am I being perfectly reasonable? I call this false advertising if I cannot use the rock to pee in Triple H’s mouth then its not a No Holds Barred match*thinks of childhood memories* I would love to do everything you can on WWE Raw or Smackdown, I’m talking about the T.V programme by the way. Maybe developers like THQ would get critised from the media for doing this but it happens all the time.

I think If the gaming industry is going to expand its horizons then it needs to wake up and smell the hot, steamy cow dung. We need have no limits to what we can do on our PS2, Xbox, PC, GC and other lesser boring out of date consoles. Like in GTA I thought the aspect of entering buildings was great but why can’t we blow up the buildings, why can’t we demolish the buildings? Sure it will take the developers longer to make and make it more expensive but won’t it all be worth it at the very end?

No you say well naf off and go and play PAC-MAN and Space Invaders*both which are quality classic arcade games by the way don’t get me wrong* if you don’t won’t to wait longer or pay more well then were do you want the gaming industry to go? Round in circles? Kids wake up to see they got the same game they got last Christmas, kid says” wow! thanks Mum and Dad” “no problem son” says the dad “jinkys santa said it was mighty hard to find this Christmas, pumpkin” SHUT UP!

Can’t stand it *evolves into the incredible hulk* gets me so angry *picks up stress ball* ahhhhh. Sorry kind of lost the point there so well hmmm, another question has anyone heard about another GTA because I read a post today where someone got annoyed because of people following there friends when buying games and he said the first word that came to mind was sheep. Well in retaliation, I say that the first word that comes to mind when I think of him is Hypocrite.

This is because why do you think we all buy games, either because friends, family or work colleagues tells us its superb, the only way we could buy decent games without friends is with the internet reviews and maybe t.v but aren’t they just a lucky bloke that has played the game before everyone else and is getting paid by the publisher to say its brilliant.
If we didn’t have any friends etc Internet or magazines or maybe t.v where could we hear of quality games answer that you hypocrite?

Back to the subject at hand, where is it all heading are we just pawns in a game of chess between Bill Gates and Sony? Well I say lets give that rich freak a shot in the long johns and see what’s on the other side of that chessboard.

Scarily enough, I wrote a long post praising and commending nOObs. You're talking to the wrong person.
