WW2 Games

Over the last 30 years one of the most popular themes for video games has been World War 2. However, after over 200 games taking different angles on this slice of history we’ve left this genre drier than a post-op transsexual in a sandstorm. The only thing more common that a WW2 game in the discount bin is a visit to the abortion clinic after Mardi Gras. Does anyone actually still enjoy playing WW2 games anymore? No? Good. Then you’ll enjoy this rant.

Starcraft 2 is good but quit fondling the box

Starcraft 2 launched this month, finally giving you a reason to pry away that vice like grip you have on your lonely, abused penis. My thoughts? Starcraft 2 is a good game. I’m enjoying playing it. It’s not a life changing experience like backing over your neighbors 4 year old but it’s still fun. I’m very satisfied with what they delivered. It’s tight, the graphics are solid, the leveling system that Blizzard has introduced makes the single player feel slightly less linear and the whole interface redesign is slicker than the gallons of used motor oil I pour into my neighbor’s creek. So what’s the catch?

EA Sports, It’s in the game but it costs extra

A short while back Electronic Arts released Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11. Playing a golf video game sounds about as fun as cramming my dink into a light socket, but somehow EA found a way to make this experience even less enjoyable. In fact, the way they’ve packaged this game with ‘new features’ makes me prostitute-stranglingly-angry.

• Include a feature in NHL where I get to beat Don Cherry to death with a hockey puck and maybe I’ll be impressed.
