It's interesting experimenting with the different Djinn and I love that you have to use your Psy to solve the puzzles around you.

Its a great game, though if I may suggest, do not get the DS one. Campaign is shorter than a COD campaign.

Well my brother bought the DS one long ago, so I plan to at least borrow it and play it since I have easy access too, but yeah, I don't hear that much praise for it.

So, how 'bout them Colonial Marines? Pretty fine piece of shit, amiright? But seriously, I feel like Pitchford really should just admit what happened. He was the guy who kept saying how good it was gonna turn out, but now that it's released, he won't say a damn thing on the subject. Makes one wonder if some of those rumors might be true.

I didn't know there was a 3DO version of OTT. Though I guess nobody talks about that version due to the fact you play as a kid in jeans called Kinl.

Shouldn't that be with the Skyward Sword interface?

I don't understand. How the friggin' hell does EA dare to advertise the new Sim City on TV? Pull that shit out of my TV until you actually fix the crapfest you have created.

EA did tell their PR to stop advertising the game. It got that bad that they don't want the game to be seen yet. :/

I heard that. Apparently the order didn't reach Finland as that stupid friggin' commercial runs on almost every break. Someone should get fired, asap.

I face palmed so bad. I'm sure a lot of you have heard about it, but just in case, apparently because X-Play's Adam Sessler through a fit about it in his review of the latest God of War game a trophy called "Bros Before Hoes" will be changed to "Bros Before Foes". Out of all the questionable stuff regarding women in video games and that's what gets noticed? Huh?

He also didn't like the fight before the unlock which has Kratos stomp a woman's face. Here's the thing, it's not some random chick he did this to. It looked like it was a boss fight; he's done a lot worse to dude bosses. So far the only game I have played where violence against women has bothered me was in Clock Tower 3 where the hammer guy brutally murders a defenseless little girl who was playing a piano. However, it wasn't glorified, so I wasn't offended at all. It was just hard to watch since I don't like seeing kids of any gender get brutalized like that.

I left a comment on that as well saying
"So if I execute Anya in Gears 3 with a Curb Stomp is that borderline too"?

As unfair as it sounds, it's safe to say that SimCity is pretty much dEAd. Joke intended but pretty sad.

I really want to play Sim City, it looks like so much fun
How did a part of gaming get to this ?
