The folks over at GameAlmighty.com have posted an article on what we can only hope will be a lasting trend – good games all-year round, not just a holiday season fisted full of all the best titles. Do the game publishers honestly think we save up our money the entire year until the holidays roll around, and then like some sort of gaming chipmunk we stuff our cheeks full of enough of them to play for the next 12 months?
“[It is] my opinion that this was an ill-advised practice rooted in an old model that assumed most game purchases are made by someone for someone else. As in a Mother buying Super Mario Bros for their child at Christmas because it was on his list, instead of the more contemporary and accurate example of a 35-year-old kid buying Super Mario Bros Wii for himself now because today was its release date and rationalizing it all to his wife by saying it is for their children ‘because they have been good.’”
They also include a slew of mini-reviews covering all of this weeks most significant releases as well as a very in-depth review of the highly-anticipated Wii shooter, The Conduit that is definitely worth checking out.
