Waterworld the movie, and Waterworld the game are both pretty rough experiences. Matthew Byrd of Pixel Critique endures both to determine which is worse.
Yeah, this is the first time I've heard anyone say that Waterworld was anything below OKAY of a movie.
Yeah I watched it many times growing up, thought it was a pretty good movie (nothing amazing, nothing bad) but then I got a little older and I started hearing from people that it was horrible. Critics hated it. I personally don't get the hate.
This is just like few ppl hating Episode 1,2 and 3 of Star Wars. I really don't get the hate. And i liked Waterwold too.
I've always liked Waterworld. Don't really care if other people think it's a bad movie.
I think it's because it cost so much to make and didn't really do well when released. So, sales didn't meet expectations of a Costner flick. Personally, I enjoyed it for what it was. Not epic or world altering...but definitely not the worst movie ever (or even at that time!).
Yea I thought the movie was OKAY nothing more or less. That game was fucking terrible lol.
Kevin Costner movies got some seriously weird hate. I thought Waterworld was amazing.
The same can be said about The Postman, amazing film, but extremely hated.
I loved it when I was young and first watched it and after watching it again recently it was awesome to relate what happened to the Earth in the movie to what could happen in the future.
First time I hear someone saying it's bad.
As long as there have been videogames there have been videogames about superheroes. It seems like a natural fit -you have a medium that allows players to perform any action that the developers can imagine, and a genre about larger than life heroes and villains with powers far beyond those of normal men and women.
So why is it that so few superhero games are any good; let alone make the player feel as though they're in any way superhuman?
(If the youtube video isn't available in your area, you can watch a working video at the source)
Well, who knows. It'd probably be about gangs, drugs and stealing cars...
I'd like to see what they'd do with a super hero game, actually. Say all you want about rockstar but they make good games.

It depends, but I think the Superman games usually fail because they make him invincible. I don't care if you can still fail if you fail to save citizens or something, that's not what I consider a tense and exciting scenario.
it seems like only batman and spiderman have been successful in video game market.
but ya most of them fail because they are movie based games, and are quickly made just for easy $$$$.
I would love to see rocksteady make a superman game.
This week's "What They've Been Playing" features discussion of FUEL, Trials HD, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Prototype, Gear of War 2, Red Faction: Guerrilla, and much more. They also reminisce on our past experiences with GTAIV multi-player and what they would like to see from the upcoming DLC. They follow that up with some gaming news including the ridiculous pricing of Games On Demand for the Xbox 360 and the delay for the console versions of Dragon Age: Origins.
with hd and them releasing some of the classics on it
seems interesting
