Video Game Garbage: An Introduction, Part 1
Written by Kyle Joyner
Greetings everyone, my name is Kyle and I am one of
the newest additions to the Game Show Garbage family. My writings will
be about retro video games (and perhaps the occasional newer game),
covering everything from bad things in good games and games that are
just plain bad. I can generally keep an open mind about games, even if
they are ones that I adore.
A little about myself: I am a gamer of some merit and a beginner level
game designer, gaming has been my passion for a long time, I have been
playing them for as long as i can remember. Over the years I have played
many games, anything from blockbusters to the lackluster. I am a retro
gamer by heart, but I will still play anything new.
My opinions toward any retro game can be large, even for games that are
bad, I can still find what is good about them. Most people won’t give
some games a try because they have a bad rep, but to weigh the opinions
and show what is truly wrong with these bad games and maybe even show
what is good about them too, that is my purpose here today.
Any opinion I have about something should be taken as my own thoughts
and not to reflect any other party. With that said, I have an article
for you all today.
“What is bad about this game?” is a general statement that most people
ask themselves when they pick up a game for the first time. Most issues
that a game can suffer from are things involving but are not limited to:
The Story, The Graphics, The Game Mechanics, The Characters and in the
rare instance the console it is being played on *cough cough* the cd-i
*cough cough*.
Now there are games that some people find to be absolutely horrid, but
yet others enjoy. Which according to said people they would classify
them as “bad” such as zelda II. Most games if not all at some point will
be called bad because the people playing them don’t like them for any of
their attributes. When it comes down to it the term “bad” is only an
opinion and should be treated as such.
So this is where the train stops tonight everyone. My next step into the
insight of the bad world of video gaming will be soon. |
