Thanks for all the great advice! Yeah I'm not usually one to butt into other people's business. And clearly it is their business and their money. I hear you guys.

I guess what what I'm wondering is how can we broaden others experiences in games? I recognize that there are so many good games out there that I'll never find the time to play that I don't want others to waste their time. Expand their horizons you know.

I guess the resources are out there, interwebs, mags, ect.

I just wish someone would've stepped in at my 12th birthday when I went to Toys R Us for my birthday and I bought Draken for the SNES. Right down the line was TMNT 4 and tons of other SNES goodness but I went with Draken.

Yeah I also bought Hylide when it new new back in the day. What a waste.

Well props to Racketboy and everyone else on this site. If this had existed 20 years ago I would've had a better understanding of good and bad.

I was at the grocery store the other day and this lady was buying some really crappy tampons. I told her to buy celery sticks instead. Then we had sex by the flintstones push ups.

Honestly, this isn't anywhere near as bad as all the people who flat out refuse to buy games like 3D Dot Game Heroes and ModNation Racers because "They should be on PSN for $20."

Seriously, FUCK those people. If it doesn't have lots of gray, brown, blood, bloom and unimaginative realism, they think it should be a bargain bin game. Fuck them. Fuck ALL of them.

I would have thrown the can at you, nobody tells me what to eat. Well, except for the wife. :|
Exactly. Maybe the guy didn't have the time to rinse and soak the beans overnight.

:lol: I have to say wwf royal rumble on the snes is great and other stuff I wouldn't normally like such as ncaa football and super black bass are fun as well imo.
I find it funny hearing people bash wrestling games. The Fire Pro Wrestling series is known for its deep gameplay.

The Smackdown series is actually a very accurate representation of modern wrestling. The only reason to hate it would be a hate for wrestling in general.

The N64 had some critically acclaimed wrestling games like Wrestlemania 2000 and No Mercy

In fact some of the best wrestling games can get as deep as a good fighting game

I believe there was even an article on wrestling games on Hardcore Gaming 101 for those of you who think the genre is a joke

Why would a misspelling be awesome?
For the record, I did not misspell anything.
