I bought flOw the other day. I like the zen simplicity of it, but I never feel compelled to play it. I guess I'm more goal-oriented than I thought.
Before that, I picked up Go! Sports Skydiving. Mistake. One word review: Shit. I'll be hard-pressed to pick up another game in that series. Why did I give it a second chance after the abysmal Skiing effort? I suppose that I figured it would be hard to screw up Skydiving. It's such an interesting activity to base a game on, really. But no. No "Go!". Ever again.
PixelJunk Monsters was fun for a little while, but I have very little interest in it anymore. PAIN is extremely limited, sporting as it does only one cityscape. They keep releasing more characters to hurl into that one cityscape, and I'm not buying 'em because a rag doll by any other name ooches the same in the same old playground. That game seriously needs another level. One just doesn't cut it.
The PSN game with the greatest longevity is probably Super Stardust HD, and that's because it is a pure arcade shooter. Even the original Asteroids is still fun in a pinch.
Just a few thoughts. I want the PSN Store to be kewler than it is, basically. Shamon! I'm tired of the HD trailers (why would I download that shit when I can just fire up Youtube and see the same thing?) and XMB Themes. I want to be able to download kung fu directly into my brain.
I'm impatient for the future. That's what it is. Hurry the fuck up and get here because I'm not going to live forever.
So Luke Skywalker. Never my mind on where I am or what I am doing.
Also: Too old. Too old to begin the training.
End. GOTO 10.

You bought something with an exclamation as part of its title - "Go!" - and you think you have a right to be disappointed? You, sir, have no such right. Any company that tries to manufacture false excitement by using an exclamation point in a product's title does not deserve your patronage - unless you should fancy the sweet, sweet taste of disappointment.
I shall now found a company devoted to polishing up some old classics:
"ORANGE JUICE!"
"Baby Powder MAX!"
"Just! EAT! It!"
TWO exclamation points? I just melted my own brain.
Haha! Good point, truly. And I must admit to having some sickly feelings about the "Go!" prefix when I paid even the measly $3 admission price for Skiing, the first sport in the series.
Next they'll release "Go! Sports: Golden Showers."
Only then would I be tempted again to patronize the series. Because I'm a perv. Watersports controlled by Sixaxis? I'm in!
Or make that: I'm In!!
