When did Games start Sucking so Much?
James Reynolds | September 8, 2008This is not a good gaming month for me, so far I have played (for the first time):
- Medieval Total War 2
- Unreal Tournament 3
- Spore
- Braid
- Castle Crashers
And you know which one I was really happy with? Fucking Castle Crashers.
Med 2 was effectively Med 1 with half a face lift. The game wasn’t made anymore interesting or any better, cavalry is still underpowered and the Papal States are still fucking immortal pains in my ass.
Unreal Tournament 3 was ok. Admittedly playing it without Online is pretty pointless, but when I do get the net sorted I will mod it to fuck before I play it again.
Spore, oh Spore. Why did you break my heart? Your middle of the road game should’ve become something special … and the space, oh the space. All that cool shit you showed us all those years ago, what did you fucking do with it? Fucking EA. Fuck your DRM.
Braid was fun at times; like Blinx the Time Sweeper (Is that what it was called?) was fun … The only difference is that Braid is fucking depressing and sometimes Prince of Persia difficult. I won’t spoil the shitty ending for you, go read GameFAQs or something.
Castle Crashers was fun, like Streets of Rage with a team of 4 knights. Personally I play the Fire Knight with 45% Strength 45% Defense and 5% Magic (to kill the brutes). When I get the net I insist you play this with me.
I just wanted to complain, because I am so tired of games this month. The most fun I’ve had was playing Rome Total War and crushing Gauls again and again.
Sigh. Asplode.

But seriously, these are games that should be guranteed to rock but instead they fucking suck hard. Spore is the biggest surprise, I guess my mistake was not taking my time like Evan did.
In future i’m going to milk the civilization era I think.
