"gaming is a box of chocolates"

Gaming is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get.

Here is an example: When I got Super Mario Sunshine, I was expecting a good game. But when I got the game, I found that the story was stale and the camera was worse than expected. Resident Evil is also like this when it comes to my tastes. I never had a game with worse controls than that (I'm talking about the N64 and PS2 versions). However there were games that were suprisingly good. Like Final Fantasy 8. This game got me started on RPG games. And Super Smash Brothers was a lot better than I expected. I've only been at college for a week and we have already played 150 VS matches!

So, here is some good advise you've probably heard many time in the past: RENT FIRST! No matter how good you hear the game is, rent it. Sure, the gamble will pay off from time to time, but sometimes it doesn't.

Until next time, goodnight...

eeeeew no

I just buy games and if they ride the big sausage backwards then I take 'em back. That way it doesn't cost me a thrupenny bit.

I think so

good advise

so do I

I like finally fantasy eight it has one of the best story lines I've ever seen from the time compression to Rinoa and Squalls love. It is deffinetly a great game no doubt there. Anyway back to the topic I can't be bothered renting games before I buy them but sometimes I play them in the shops first or at a friends house. The rest of the time is a gamble but thank fully I am yet to lose :D

I want every game, sez I.

yum yum ehhhhh where they gone-ther chocolates with legs urhhhh

Feck those tactics, take the lot then smash the person who wanted the other chocolates in the face with box and make a quick getaway.
