... because I have come to the painful conclusion that I like games that suck, and am excited about games on other platforms that are going to suck too. Uggg.
Exhibit #1: I like Shrek. My wife thinks it is hilarious, but she can't play it very well at all. She likes to sit and tell me what to do, and how to do it. It is the only time that she will play with me on the Xbox. She thinks the sheep are really cute, too. I finally got the courage to check the game out from Blockbuster this last weekend, and discovered the world of Shrek. It's cheap, so I'm sure I will be buying it soon enough.
Exhibit #2: Azurik is fun for me. I like running around, and not always having to fear for my life. Oh sure, there is plenty of danger to find, but if you don't like constant button mashing, the option is available. One of my buddies hated the game sooo much, I got this one for free. I'm gonna keep it.
Exhibit #3: Everquest Adventures Online looks *really* cool! I think it is a great idea to have a scaled back Everquest, with a very similiar (if not identical) spell system, on a console. So put it 500 years before or whatever, and use similiar tools to create a similiar environment. I think the idea is just pure genious! Of course, then there is the whole 56K modem thing, and that will suck. And it's on a PS2, and the graphics suck, and I won't buy a PS2. And Star Wars Galaxies is going to be coming out, and that will be a much better online universe. And camping can be a drag, and then there is the whole kill-stealing and ninja looting issue. But, it is still Everquest, and that makes it one of the best computer games ever in my opinion.
