X3 Video Game
June 1st 2006 02:44
It's inevitable.
As soon as a comic book remake comes out, they launch the crappy videogame version of it. They try to hit us on all levels, so that we're inundated by crappy merchandise and sterile hype, in the hope that we'll part with some of our hard earned cash.
It's no different with X-Men 3: The Last Stand. As Dani pointed out, the videogame is a 'rush-in' to the game, making it a clumsy, dull ride through the plotline of the movie. Woo hoo.
Dani sez:
"Level after level of repetitive button mashing with limited (if any) combos might tire and bore the older and more ‘gaming’ experienced audience who look for an entertaining challenge. "
Lord, I'm getting sleepy just thinking about playing this game.
The worst part is: you know, somewhere out there, probably in Toronto or St. Louis, there's some predictable college kid, wearing a backwards baseball cap and an Abercrombie and Fitch shirt, who still has wet dreams about Wolverine and those big claws. This chucklehead is actually going to go 'Awesome!' when he sees this game at the store.
Which is why no innovative games get made anymore. There's no shelf space between X3, Madden 2006 and Tiger Woods 2006. That's why surly gamers like me just go download the updated versions of classics like Maniac Mansion and Star Control 2 and go buckwild.
