Wired's Susan Arendt, Earnest Cavalli, and Chris Kohler have each selected three things that disappointed them this year:
Susan's disappointments:
• Xbox Live Arcade
• Two Worlds
• Halo 3's scratchy packaging
Earnest's disappointments:
• The Internet and Jade Raymond
• The sales of Halo 3
• Super Mario Galaxy
Chris' disappointments:
• No LittleBigPlanet
• Assassin's Creed
• Wii's tiny storage space
And their number-one disappointment of 2007:
• Wii's third-party software lineup
Times are changing, and these games would have never been made in today's climate.
Every single time someone uses this phrase whether it's music, movies, books, comics, video games, etc it's always the same claim.
The ubiquitous "they" won't allow it to be made. And every decade these claims are made the claimant completely ignores all the "offensive" material that is published when the claim is made.
In ten years, you can write a new article about how you can't make games like Helldivers 2, Resident Evil VIII, Mortal Kombat I, Dragon's Dogma 2, Alan Wake 2 etc etc etc any more.
Dead Island: "The early PC version of the zombie game swapped the playable character Purna’s Gender Wars skill with a prototype name, which shouldn’t be mentioned directly. The skill name made fun of both Purna as a character and feminists."
"Feminist Whore" lmao
ill add one more to the list.
drakengard 1.
its ridiculous tho, especially since they'd still be able to find their place in alot of places in the world. except america of course ha. and maybe Australia.
ppl are so sensitive these days. ha. but it is what it is.
They're not offensive.
And we need another Fat Princess. Fantastic little game!
Some people just have no sense of humour if this sort of thing offends them. They need to lighten up and stop taking themselves so seriously.
Cultured Vultures: Put on your freshest dungarees and chow down on the ripest mushroom as we reel off the best Mario games ever made to celebrate Mar10 Day.
My top 3 are Mario 3, Mario World and Mario 64. Mario Odyssey is also excellent, and I enjoyed Sunshine but didn't care for the Galaxy series.

Microsoft inability to solve the red rings of death :)
Well, at least I agree with their number-one disappointment of 2007:
• Wii's third-party software lineup
Seriously, it was really bad and worse, only the worst of those games sold! Really, Wii had some decent to good 3rd party games and aside from the excellent Zack & Wiki (Which bombed commercially), it had rather good games like Mercury Meltdown Revolution (Didn't sell) and Dewy's Adventure (Didn't sell at all). Even a good mini-game colletion like Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 didn't sell well enough.
At the same time, the worst of those mini-game collections and 3rd party's most crappy games sold the most, specially the mega seller Carnival game that is shallow and weak even compared to Wii Play.
i agree with tha earnest guy...especially with super mario galaxy.
i love the lolcats :D
