You all remember how, when this blog first got started, I wrote a series about the pros and cons about the GameCube/XBox/PlayStation2 generation, don’t you?  Well, actually, you may not because that was a while ago.  But, believe me, I did.  And now that I have had a good amount of experience with the last generation of consoles (the Wii, XBox 360, and PlayStation 3, of course), I decided it was time to write a series of posts on what I find good and bad about these three awesome consoles.  To start, the console I’ve had the longest, the Wii.

Merry Listmas: Things I Dislike About Games I Like

5 Comments

Hello, everyone, and welcome to the duck’s first Listmas list.  I enjoy lists, whether it’s keeping track of all my games (in order from best to worst, of course) and realizing that my collection might be getting a wee bit enormous or marking things off a list and knowing that I’m getting one step closer to a goal.  And so when I found out there was an actual little holiday where I got to list stuff, I then got to thinking about what I wanted to list (as was the logical next step in that sequence of events).  And I eventually came up with the idea to list the things I don’t like about games I like.  Here I go.

Hatm0nster was kind enough to let me use his “Resonance” idea, where, if you haven’t yet read these delightful posts, he discusses a particular song from a video game that stands out to him.  I have the same love for video game music, as the right music can bring you into the game and make you feel so much more that you’re a part of the experience.  One such song that comes to mind is “In the Darkness” a song from “Super Paper Mario”.  This particular song is not my favorite song from the game, but it certainly stands out to me above all others.  First, a little background.

Resonance: The Pit of 100 Trials

I like game music. I enjoy how it can turn a fairly bland encounter in to something exciting! how it can take drudgery and turn it into a fantastic adventure, and how it can turn a dark room into a space to be feared and dreaded. You know what? I take it back. I don’t like game music…I absolutely adore it! Sure there’s your generic themes and the tendency to overuse orchestra, but what can I say? It just moves me!
