Complete Randomness
So, I do apologize for telling a few people that they need to check this space for my review of Feel the Magic XX/XY/a small review of my friend Matt’s flakiness. Truth be told, I probably am never going to write it in full like I know I can do because something else always comes up instead. The gist though, is Feel the Magic is a terrific little game and the first time I got to play it was on Matt’s Ds. Then in typical Wes fashion I was going to stop the original point entirely and tell some true story about how Matt tells people he will be somewhere but then just neglects to show up. And on the night he bought his Ds, he was at my house and said he needed to go home for a bit, but then completely neglected to come back, causing Tim, Will and myself to go looking for him at seven in the morning in the freezing cold while listening to the Wu-Tang Clan.
Sega dissolved UGA into Sonic Team. Feel the Magic is a game developed by Sonic Team, but was really developed by the leftover members from UGA, half of which was female. What the game turned into was something Miziguchi would have been proud of and more importantly, a game developed by a team composed almost entirely of females. That is important because for me, it was the first game I have ever played with obvious feminine sensibilities. And I quite enjoyed it.
Last week I traded the new Tenchu game in for Gran Turismo 4. As of last week, I have put over forty hours into GT4 and to be honest, I am burnt out on it. I am longing for something in my gaming life at the moment and I don’t know what. I was thinking of going out and picking up the first Ratchet and Clank game because a good platformer seems like a good idea. I mean, I have had this new Splinter Cell demo sitting in my X-box for the past week but I don’t really even feel like playing it.
I fell out of love with the Mexican girl tonight. Case closed there. I can do those sorts of things, fall in love and out of love girls on a whim, because I don’t really love anyone. Besides, love to me is just infatuation. Funny how things work like that sometime. I know love songs can choke me up. And please, don’t get me started about romance movies. I mean, come on, I am the boy who likes Dawson’s Creek.
But the lack of love in my life can be combated easily enough with my hobbies. Or the things I deem important enough to me. Tonight after getting home, I sat with my little brother and played Twisted Metal 4, for six hours straight. We beat the game three times in a row. Most people would ask me why I was playing Twisted Metal 4 instead of 2. Those people are easily deceived because 4 is a far superior game. The people who mistake 2 as being the best Twisted Metal game are the people who never played 4 because Twisted Metal 3 was so bad. And I honestly don’t blame those people because Twisted Metal 3 was horrendous. I say this as someone who likes Twisted Metal 3 too. As long as it isn’t Small Brawl, the one Twisted Metal game I don’t like, one can’t go wrong.
That PSP Twisted Metal game is looking quite nice. I haven’t seen a PSP game yet though that isn’t looking great. I can’t afford one, but man, I want one. Metal Gear Ac!d alone is enough to sell me. Those pricks on X-Play was talking down about the game due to the card element, but I am the guy who spent seventy-five hours on Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories. Card based games don’t suck. Honestly.
And a Darkstalkers collection. I mean, freaking Gamespot or someone said the game is pretty much a direct port of Nightwarriors for Matching Service on the Dreamcast. Which is pretty cool.
All of the gibberish though, I have written, until now was pretty much just to say something to SNK as a company. I refuse to buy a single one of your King of Fighters games from here on out if you do not include King on the roster. You are started to weed her out of some titles and that is dumb. If Will can refuse to buy Mortal Kombat Deception, a game that by all means doesn’t suck, because Striker isn’t in it, I can refuse to buy any of your dumb, backwards thinking games because of your failure to include King. And trust me, for a company who has gone bankrupt now nearly thirteen times, my money means something to you.
