The lights are on
One more try.
When I was a kid I loved fighting games (read: Street Fighter II). My friends and I would pretend we were SFII characters at recess and set up mock-fights. You better believe I was Guile, complete with hair-comb celebration. We had to stop once we got older because the girls were just too attracted to us and it wasn't safe anymore with all of the girls chasing us, what with all the girls and stuff and the attraction. At least that's the way I remember it.
I've set out to write a short blog in order to elicit responses. This one is all about you.I've done some straight-up stupid things with my video game collection. I hinted at one such crazy decision in my last blog. Today I'm going to come clean. Let me preface this confession by saying that sometimes I don't think too clearly when it comes to the strange and bewildering world of video game trade-ins.
The answer is yes. I guess I could end the blog there. But wait...
My cousins had a Game Genie.
Licensed games are widely known as being predictably bad. Many licenses should never be converted into a video game format, yet are, and many that seem to be perfect for a video game format still turn out pretty awful. It's time to think outside the box and discover some overlooked properties. Should these be turned into licensed games? Or would these be more titles to add to the local bargain bin? You decide.
Everyone has that one game. The game that completely alters the way you look at video games. There's a moment when you realize that somebody made a game that appeals to you in a way that no other game has. And that moment is both reaffirming of your tastes and a stepping stone into a new outlook on yourself and your preferences. It's like eating at a Mexican restaurant for the first time after a lifetime of microwavable burritos. You sure liked those burritos, but, man, they don't quite stack up to this new experience.
