Video games just aren't what they used to be are they. We go from fun home arcades, to hardcore gaming consoles, to more hardcore gaming consoles, to mini game collections? What i'm referring to of course is the Nintendo Wii and it's ratio of casual mini game collections to hardcore games, which happens to be about 1000:1. Unfortunatly, the majority of Wii owners are people who buy a wii only for games like Wii Play and Carnival Games. WTF?! WHY??? I remember when gaming used to be about staying up for hours trying desperatly to get to the next save point with only 5 for shots left in your pistol and a low health warning flashing across your screen, well, what the hell happened? I know what your thinking, Conbob, why not buy a PS3 or 360? Well here is one answer that will have you understanding more than the Pope during a confession, I DON'T WANT TO SPEND $1000 GETTING EVERYTHING I NEED TO PLAY VIDEO GAMES!!!! The Wii was the cheapest console at launch and the Gamecube was my favorite out of the previous generation. I know, maybe Nintendo is doing this to themselves, I mean, they did package in Wii Sports and funded games like Wii Fit, Wii Play, and Wii Music, so what else should we do other than buy these games? IGNORE THEM!! They are mostly crap, and all they do is harm your chances of getting more hardcore games like Mad World and The Conduit coming in March. Do this, and we shall see more games we bleed for instead of the games that make us bleed when we play them.

Also, you may have heard about the Electronic Gaming Monthly fiasco. Well, this is mostly because of our poor economy so be sure to thank your government. I am truely sorry for all subsribers to that wonderful magazine and want to say goodbye to a leader in gaming magazines for 20 years. Goodbye EGM, you will be missed.
