"We are here to condemn Grand Theft Auto IV, and other equally great games, not out of hatred, but out of love. For it does no good to point out the flaws in bad games as bad games by definition cannot be saved.
No, we aim to save gaming from the abyss by pointing out the sins of games like the Elder Scrolls and Half Life series, games made by creators who actually care. It is in that spirit that we proclaim the commandments that they have broken, so that they may be redeemed.
Who are we? Just a bunch of gamers who got really, really bored. What are the consequences for breaking these commands? Well ... we might start reading books or something.
Therefore, we declare ...
7. Thou shalt let us play your game with real-life friends.
6. Thou shalt not pad the length of your games.
5. Thou shalt not force repetition on the player.
4. Thou shalt make killing fun.
3. Thou shalt admit when enough is enough.
2. Thou shalt make sure your game actually works
1. Better graphics do not equal innovation and/or creativity."
A look back at 4A Games' admirably consistent post-apocalyptic shooter franchise.
With the Perfect Dark reboot set to launch later this year, it's time to look back at Perfect Dark Zero, nearly 20 years later.
At the rate xbox is going you'll have another 20 years to play the original before the reboot arrives
A famous actor from Starship Troopers has showered praise on Helldivers 2 and said he is open to the idea of playing General Brasch.
It's an interesting point they make about the Wii - you can mock it for being underpowered and focusing a lot on "kiddy" games, but it IS the console with the most options for local multiplayer. Especially if not everyone playing is a big gamer. Most of my friends aren't gamers, but do enjoy the Wii.
Though honestly, as a party game for casuals, I think Rock Band blows away any currrent Wii offerings.
I have to agree Rock Band is played alot more than Wii.. Im still not a Wii fan.. I mean I love smash bros but.. If you think about it.. Smash bros is best played with the average controller.. and is the best game for Wii.. so I mean what good is a gimmicky controller if its best game is played with a controller like every other console??
Fact is Wii is a great party system.. but honestly.. WHO really has People over EVERY SINGLE DAY to make Wii fun?
Most of us Have jobs and GFs or a life to go over to a friends house and play Wii..
Wii is cheap.. and its gimmicky controller is fun if you dont play all the time..
but Wii owners most likely own another console, because there is no way Wii owners can be content with wiis horrible online and crappy third party games.. There is just no way.. You can only play smash bros for soo long..
Whether you agree or disagree with all his points, he has some good things to say and some parts are pretty funny. Worth a read!
Breaking the real commandments are funner though.
