Ever hear of the Guy Game? Yeah, its a ridiculous game in which your answer pointless trivia questions in order to see topless girls. Now, why would spend $30 for that ina store, when you have a computer and hand lotion? Has video games really stooped so low as to lead people to believe that all guy gamers are porn addicted nookie-heads who's only sexual relationship he's had is with his hand? This irritates me! Who agrees?

I was actually gonna rent it, just so I could laugh my arse off. XD

Now what I don't get, is that they have the box in plain view at Blockbuster, but its turned around. All you have to do is pick up the box and you can see what it is.

What, did Blockbuster didn't think that someone would do that b/c its turned around?

99% of games made after 1995 suck. I'll stick with my original NES, SNES, and a 486 with Windows 3.1.

I think that between this and the new Playboy game... You're ushering in a scary new legion of "game" players.

(Although to be fair I hear there's some interest in the Playboy game because it's a racier version of The Sims. And people just want to unlock the galleries. )

this is true, i say it happend once PS2 popped out. but that's off topic. Unless you are referring to the whole porn games of nowadays. still beats that atari game with the penis guy shooting "loads" down at the pixeled nudist chicks. Name escapes me.

Maks you wonder who the F*ck got off on that in the first place. It's slightly concievable now, but in the atari era? come on!

Not ALL of the newest games are bad, Banedon. But I agree somehow...maybe it WAS better before...

The game singles comes to mind, which I heard is sucky. (i'm eagerly waiting for The sims 2 myself... )

Sex games have been there for long time, I saw them back in 1995 where they sold them in magazines.

Geez...1995. I wonder how those games looked back then...

Imagine a sex game with Doom graphics...

That's why I said 99%...Civilization III, for example, is part of the 1%.

Or bored. Or you just want a cheap laugh. Or at a party.

But getting off from a video game...seems a bit cheap to me.

Besides, you can get the ranchy version of the Sims. At least that way, you can control what's going on.

...man with that comment I want to start over with The sims again. Before the sequel is released. The sims have sort of showed my darker side (BURN BABY BURN ).

I read that the American version of Singles will be toned down BIG TIME. Basically they need to get an M rating because no major store will carry it in it's current state - full-frontal nudity = automatic AO.

Here's what happened to games: the market stayed around for long enough that they had a notable "history," inevitably causing people to bitch about the "good old days."

I've always liked NES over GameCube, and I've never used PS2 or Xbox before in my life (nor will I ever). I had NO CLUE there was such an Atari game that had those things in it... Just reading this info about modern games scared me. Eesh.

The biggest annoyance in the videogame world today for me is the hype factor.


"The biggest sequel to the greatest multiplayer and best PC title ever to hit shelves. Coming in 3 years."

Funny thing is, I've heard people argue on G4techTV and in Gamepro magazine that "This is why Nintendo sucks these days", because they don't give info about a game that's not coming out for another year or two. Are we supposed to sit around and *imagine* what the game will be like for months and months to come?

I find that plain and stupid. Metroid Prime 2 is going to kick major ass, and have they shown very much of that game? No, and I really don't care if they do, because maybe unlike other people *I want too see what the game is all about when I play it, and experience it*. This also goes for the next GC Zelda game, they've shown 1 video so far, and I doupt they'll show very much, but in the end the game is going to rock.

There's way too many overated games these days.

Gaming has not changed. Fifteen years ago there were still so many sequels, crappy movie licenses and even sex games. We all see the past through rose-tinted glasses. Yeah the old games are great but thats only because we just ignore the bad ones. No-one's gonna be talking about Driv3r in ten years time.
