G-pinions

If my 1,501 word preview on Conker was too much (though every self respecting video game fan should know the various weapons a Sneaker can wield) I present to you a quick and easy joke.

I just saw this thumbnail on Gamespot's main page:


Elektra - N Gage

This whole thing is just too funny for me to pass up. First, the movie studios release a horrible picture that no one really wanted in the first place. Then some sucker publisher nabs the rights to make a game based on that horrible movie (which is, presumably, based on a lame comic to begin with). Said sucker publisher decides to bring their game, not to the Xbox or Gameboy Advance, but to the worst "system" out there - N Gage. Rearrange the letters and you get Gag Ne, which is really close to Gag Me.

So they have this horrible license on a horrible system, where do they go from there? Make a horrible game! Now, I haven't actually played the game or even read Gamespot's article on it (Preview? Review? Who cares!), but I can safely guess that any game that presents a life bar as an idea so new they have to explain how it functions, well, that just deserves an entire post.
