    Games you love and other's don't

    I like Cooking Mama as well. Interesting to see people posting games on here that are generally well-liked such as CoD4. Umm... SA2B I also adore although many people dislike. I like it more than the original game because the controls are better on the GC port.

    What stereotype do you dislike the most?

    I take your anti-america and raise you anyone who jumps on the bandwagon and hates a political party because it's the in thing to do! (I'm all for getting more people in the young democrats, but at least know what some of the party's core beliefs typically are or why we are better than...

    Zero Punctuation: MadWorld

    I'm a bit late on this, but I agree with you. I actually really liked the game, and I think the fact that Yahtzee's biggest complaint was that the game was on the wii was actually just to take a poke at the wii, not to say that the game sucked. I may be misinterpreting that, but... he's reviewed...

    Zero Punctuation: MadWorld

    I've played it, and it's not the bad. I was almost going to defend the controls on the wii, but then I remembered all those times playing Resident Evil 4 when I'd swing the remote to break a crate, and Leon wouldn't swing so I'd swing again, and just as I'd give up and try to walk away, it would...

    the casual gamer demographic is ruining the indutrie

    I agree with whoever said that if you keep buying the games for casual gamers, you'll be encouraging game developers to keep popping them out. I'd also like to add in that as much as most (or some depending on the company) game developers are gamers themselves, they're also trying to support...

    Gaming Girl Power on the Rise

    Hmm... I'm not surprised that (insert vague percentage or adjective) number of *young* girls game. Hell, while we were waiting on our burette to turn whatever pink in Chem lab, one of my lab partners got out her laptop, and she played Spore. I think most girls "grow out" of games the way most...

    Game development sins

    Aye! That's exactly the type of stuff I mean though I've seen a lot worse. I actually think I played a stealth game where pushing a button for a "short" time killed a victim and pushing it for a "longer" time merely knocked the victim out. LULZ. No joke. Now, I've learned to firmly push down...

    Game development sins

    I guess this is more of a problem in older games, but I remember playing games when I was younger on which I couldn't jump on the platforms. You had to jump at a specific place and then there was only like a 10 percent chance that you'd be able to jump on the platform. Umm... games that reuse...

    Pokemon

    You mean like going from repetitive leveling to a simulation where someone who may or may not look like you takes out the cartridge and replaces it with a similarly shaped one with a different colored label on it? :)

    An odd habit that I've noticed people do when playing an MMORPG - particularly amongst the haters.

    *inserts true story of self* When I originally started playing WoW when it came out, I *hated* it. I started as a gnome warlock, and I played for about 15 levels (which as a young nub on a PVP server took me roughly 2 hours or so to get to), and I hated it. I hatttteeeddd it because it...

    Pokemon

    ... Seriously? I'm a *huge* fan of the pokemon games (with I think the remakes of the originals like leafgreen being my favorites), and I think a lot of it is contributed to the fact that they're dumbed down RPGs. I don't think Pokemon games can exist without battles (repetitive and sometimes...

    Those stupid shirts you see people wear

    Wow... that doesn't even make me laugh. It just kinda creeps me out. How about shirts that are supposed to be offensive but really just make you laugh. One of my friends has a shirt that has the pyramids on it and says "Slavery gets shit done."

    SPORE, don't believe the hype. (spoilers)

    Hear, hear! I didn't actually read all of it. I'd rather take short paragraphs than super long ones. Umm, I'm surprised you returned the game after one hour of playing it. I mean, there are some games that it's acceptable for because they have really terrible controls, graphics, etc. I don't...

    Oh My God! Peter Moore Killed The Dreamcast!

    Hmm, now what I don't fully get is that he says he knew he could've won, but then he says he couldn't once the PS came out. I don't think it matters either way though because he did fold, and Sega did die out. *shrugs*

    If you could press a button, what would that button do?

    OMFG! Sorry to get all random and stuff, but isn't that the money/repeat code for the original sims? HA!
