Recently, I devided that EA is the worst gaming corporation ever. Ok, this isn't 100% true, I actually decided this 4 years ago after playing another the sims, but in hope of playing the fantastical spore, I pre ordered the game a month back and has since then been sitting in a software I had to download called EA download manager. Quite what's wrong with Mozilla downloading software is beyond me, maybe there's not enough green, but anyway, I spent full retail price for around 2,000,000,000 1s and 0s. And what do I get for this?
Well recently the download manager kicked into life and downloaded the whole of Spore. I was greatly looking forward to this and when it finished I was greeted with the message that the game is ready in 5 days. Essentially I just payed £35 to be told to wait a day.
What do I get for £35? Well it means I need to keep the game on my laptop because if i forget the disk I can't get it back. So theres 3GB of space that's always occupied. I also lose a social mate event, and on top of that I can't play the game. It's as if EA has given me the full game stuck it infront of my face and tied me to a chair and said "Do you want to play this game? WELL YOU CAN'T" I've payed £35 to be tortured and not talk to people. You know what EA screw you! This is the most enfuriating thing EVER! I lose potential social and joking with mates in a HUUUUUGE que, can't play the game yet AND on top of that payed £35 for it. Well that's it. Not happening EVER again. Screw you EA. Screw you in the ear.
Recently I looked onto the gamespot homepage and noticed that there was an olympics game. On the PC. Which was reviewed badly. And I'm not surprised.
I never really got the point of olympic PC games. The whole point of the olympics is to see the world get fitter (which is probably the reason I'm now training for marathons). So an olympic game is a bit of a misnomer. See, you never actually work anything out except your hands and never get much fitter. Save for the wii and VERY (very very very) arguably the ps3 (so long as the game is applied right to the motion controls and it DOESN'T), the olympics doesn't actually olympasise anyone. No one will get fitter. No one will be stronger. All that wil happen is people will sit on their arse for longer and get fatter. They are a pointless waste of space in my eyes, if to run, all you do is press to alternate buttons. If the nation moved I'd be happier.
As alot of you may have noticed, the women of soul calibur all seem to be declaring clothing store war, something which slides far off the gender stereotype. Now if this was a sex game, then this would be ok, but for crying out loud, this is a fighter. There is an abundence of weaponry flying around everywhere, and the women of soul calibur, in general, have two very large targets on them left very exposed. I'm sorry, but if I was entering a sword fight, I would demand full plate armour to keep me safe and avoid any skin being left un protected. I'm sure women would agree too. Why is it then, that in video gaming land, all the women miss out on this little point and decide to run around so scantily? Ivy's "armour" can be kindly refered to as a bikini, xiangua (or however you spell her ridiculus name) looks as if she fell out of an underwear model magazine and Alexandra's top is several sizes too small and thin to be taken seriously.
Look, I know no one will probably care about this, but hey, I'm all up for decency and I'd like to see a few more decent women. Then again, I might just be gradually becoming gay
