If...
A small 2 letter word that means quite a lot, "If only.." If only I did that.. etc..
Well, what if, the Internet was a game? Hm?
Well, lets do a little rundown on the Internet as a game, well, we'll start off with looks..
You can make your own "Games" with some kind of editor, so, if you wanted to make the "Game" look amazing, then you could, and you could also see other people's "Games" a very nice addition to the game if you ask me. And, there are thousands and millions of trillions of games out there, all you need is the "Console" which is the modem, which doesn't cost much, and a free ISP, or, one of BT's packages. Cheap if you think about it.
Well, you can make your own sounds, but, you'll need experience, so, you can use other people sounds, many of which are excellent, so I would also give sounds for this "Game" a very high mark.
Gameplay, well, the gameplay is excellent, its fast, or slow, and you can take it at your own pace, so the learning curve is perfect. Depending on what you want, the gameplay can either be fast and furious, or slow and sluggish, whatever floats your boat though eh?
The best thing about this "Game" is still to come, the addictivenes, well, you start off, just, playing a few hours, and yea, you think "This is good" and then you are engulfed in a sea of beautiful surroundings with the most perfect settings you will ever find. You look at the clock, and you have just spent an extra 6 hours. You can pull away, its like a drug, but, try to keep up with the fast gameplay, but you can't you must put the "Game" down and rest those sleepy eyes and those ever more heavier eyelids, you trot, or rather force yourself to go to bed.
Well, thinking about it, the even better is still to come about this game. You like, Final Fantasy games? Or Zelda? Or ones with a big lifespan, then get this, this game, Never, I said never ends. With people building thousands of "Add-ons" being added every single day. Most are not worthy of your precious conscious time so they will not be visited, but there will be some parts, that you'll love, and you'll come back to over and over again, until you can no longer stand to look at it.
However, this "Game" has some faults, one being the amount of "Bad" parts on the game, and secondly, the cost. Well, and thirdly, your "Console" could break, leaving you to sit and marvel at that wonderful paintwork that you have always admired, or you could paint a wall white, and watch every single inch dry. Fascinating..
This, this game will take over your life, with it starting off, just light gaming, and, before you know it, you will be spending more that 3 quarters of those 24hours in a day on this game, in fact, its a killing machine, taking you in, and getting you hooked, some people have broke that addiction, but, they went so mad, they ran to the desert and were never seen again, they could of found other "Sources" to play the game, or, they died from liquid lack. Almost certainly the latter, unless those damn aliens have set up cyber cafe's in the middle of the desert again...
I mean, *Cough* Nothing to do with Area51 or anything *Cough*
*MIB red laser thing is waved about*
Right, where was I..
Ah, the final mark.
If you can survive the long hours of staring and you have some cash to waste away. Then this, this my friends is the game for you.
Thanks for reading my.. Views on this "Game"
