LOL yep.. I've been saying this for years. People don't realize that they've become jaded. An overexposure of something eventually leads to losing that feeling of being wowed, which some tend to think it's due to a lack of creativity. The game industry is a business and has been since it became profitable in the 70's…

Man, I remember this game as a kid that was on Windows 95 machines at school that was an FPS with really weird enemies that looked like toys. Either the main character or some of the enemies had smiley faces, and it was in black and white. Lol I'm not making this up, I've been trying to remember what it was called for…
And it was ridiculous to play a sport on horse in 1300 too? Whether you say Rugby Football or not is irrelevant, it's still the technical name for the sport and has almost exactly the same ball. You guys just need to get over the fact that your forefathers introduced rugby to Canada and it eventually evolved into…
Inserts usual corny "handegg" and "they don't use feet" comments here, as if I've said something refreshing and original.
The term football was also used to describe sports played on foot instead of a horse or in water. They started carrying the ball at Rugby school and that was the form of football played by early Americans. It evolved into American football and the rest is history. Do you also lamely refer to Rugby Football as Rugby…
Yeah, when you said 51, I instantly thought of my mom since she also graduated in 80 and is your age.
Man.. this whole time I thought you were 33 due to the 1980 part... But now I'm guessing that's the year you graduated from hs. What does the 1980 mean?
I love taking my HDTV and $500 new console onto the roof or outside in general. I have nothing against this commercial though, it's not like they have a ton to show off gamewise right now... I'm sure we'll see a casual aimed Kinect games commercial as well as a Forza/COD commercial before long.
I am currently not playing the game, but its a great one. A friend gave me this game in high school (with the box and giant strat guide instruction booklet), but I didn't get a Super Nintendo until 2010. I was playing through Yakuza 3 and FF XIII at the time, but I randomly decided to try out Earthbound and the game…
also, youre a moron if you dont understand that at one point in time, something can be more popular than something that ends up selling more. the rolling stones have sold more albums than crap like wayne and drake.. but if you polled a bunch of teenagers right now who they liked more, the rolling stones would probably…
Hey dumbass.. inspired by and RIP OFF are two different things... you constantly called sonic a rip off which i was defending.. learn to comprehend.
Sonic was more popular than Mario everywhere but Japan for a little bit.. Sega actually had a lead on Nintendo in the United States and Europe in the early 90s, then everything fell apart once they started losing direction by launching the 32x at roughly the same time as the Saturn.. couple that with Sega never giving…
source? everything i've ever seen about the creation of Sonic talks about Yuji Naka wanting to make a game that gave the player the ability to go throughout the entire level from start to finish with no interruptions... I've never seen anywhere that Naka, Oshima, and Yasuhara were sitting around speed running Mario…
yeah how did it turn out? in the early 90s, American kids recognized Sonic on the same level as Mickey Mouse... that may have declined because of a whole slew of reasons, most of all probably being conflict between Sega of Japan and Sega of America.
Now playing
I'll just leave this here.
I like how you name one of the 20 or so games on my list as if thats invalidates its worth lol.. i also like how you say "games lacking in violence or a narrative thread" and then mention twisted metal, mortal "combat," and tekken.. as if they are full of narrative.. oh and mortal "combat" was on nintendo 64.. with…
ff X wasn't on the ps1 lol.. and resident evil 2 was on the nintendo 64. but hey, ill bite, i definitely enjoyed games on the 64 to metal gear solid, ff VII, and resident evil (they just weren't my style). but anyways, star fox 64, f-zero x, bomberman 64, perfect dark, fighting force 64, the 2 wcw thq wrestling games…
Its been about branding for the last 25 years.. the only thing that has changed is the amount of people that play games and how much more coverage they get in mainstream media and popular culture.
I don't understand how someone that has worked in the industry for 17 years sees this as something that was just started with Microsoft. Maybe due to my age during the 16 bit era (anywhere from 6 - about 13), I saw things in a less educated view than the author did.. but I distinctly remember Sega marketing the…
