Has anyone else noticed how, in the past, there have been hundreds of pants games? Imean, all right, there was the occasional flash of brilliance (Metal Gear Solid etc.) but for every decent game there must be at least 5 or 6 crap ones ( Jackie Chans Stuntmaster {shudder}). What is the exact reason for this? Is it because the people who make games are lazy or is it because they are stupid? Do they really believe that we will purchase their creation over a far better game from someone who actually cares what we think? I know the answer. The reason behind their laziness is greed. They are fully aware that the world is full of innocent young people who think 'hmmm Teletubbies. They're on the telly, they must be good!' and then rush out and shell out 40 nicker on a sh*te game. Well it's frankly stupid. There should be a Sh*te Game Awareness Campaign.

If you guys like Barbie games then I have the ultimate:

Barbie Vacation Adventure.

It was only available for the mega drive, I think, and quite frankly it was a masterstroke.

I'VE PLAYED THAT!!!!

My cousin had brought it for her PC, and she wanted to install it, but didn't know how.

It was rather amusing, for a few minutes, and then I felt like leaving her play on it alone, but she wouldn't let me go.

So I pushed her over, and had a go myself.

Well, no I didn't do that.

Boring day, today.

It does make you wonder how they get away with releasing poor titles. Take a look at Carmageddon 64, FIFA 64, Superman, and the Army Men series by 3DO. How on earth do these producers expect us to spend our hard earned cash on these poor, lazy, half finished games. It is just pure maddness!!

There is, and we are talking in it. However, I must disagree with your opinion of Teletubbies. I believe that to be one of the most graphically groundbreaking titles to be released this year, and am so glad I pre-ordered it in November last year so that I could pick my copy up as soon as it came in. It's just SO addictive. I play it non-stop in my cell. I rate it almost as highly as Barbie Race and Ride, one of my all-time faves.
