I'll pause for a moment so you can all go find your socks that just blew off.
EVIL WEST E3 SERIES
So here's why all ye should abandon hope for the shiny objects being held up for us to gawp at.įirst up, Prince of Persia, now I thought the Sands of Time trilogy was the best game series of the last console generation. But since the eventual quality of most games is going to be essentially determined by spinning a roulette wheel where numbers one through thirty have all been smeared with pus, I thought I'd better fly in and point out that we're still living in a cruel corporate-run society that treats you like a wallet mounted on the back of an entranced magpie. And of course, a gaggle of upcoming game trailers were wheeled out to stir up excitement. Nintendo have proudly announced their intention to make the Wii do what it was always supposed to anyway, while Microsoft and Sony busily compete to see who can rip off each other's consoles the most. So an appropriately mediocre E3 has limped past for this mediocre year in gaming. To put it in another, less stupid way, if you go by the evidence of the last 10 years and just assume that the new Sonic the Hedgehog is just going to be the usual punnet of snot, then you won't get your heart rebroken. Films starring Morgan Freeman would have you believe that hope is your magical shield against the tribulations of life, but the games industry has collectively taken that shield and shoved it up our arse so many times it's probably time we started leaving it at home. And frankly, I find it harder and harder to understand why any gamer wouldn't be a cynic at this point.
A cynic can be described as someone who doesn't hold out hope that anything in the future will be good.
