Genre Fatigue and Its Effects
Too Much of a Thing Is No Good
A common trend in the video game industry is seeing what game becomes popular because... X reason. How did a game like, say, “Crash Bandicoot” make a big scene back when the PlayStation first debuted? Why do people seemingly flock towards “Call of Duty?” What makes “Pokémon” a force to drive people to the stores and buy copies by the millions? The thing we need to understand about video games is that genres are what help people gravitate towards a want that is screaming to be itched. Over-saturating a genre is also what sends people off to find something different. Read more »

Opinion: “Conker:” What the N64 Version Did Better Than the Xbox Version
An Unfortunate Sight of a Company Not Given Proper Justice
So “Rare Replay” has been released. Thirty games for thirty bucks. A pretty darn good deal, if I were to say so. We got “Banjo-Kazooie,” “Perfect Dark,” “Jet Force Gemini,” “Battletoads,” and more. The best thing in this game, however, is the ability to play the original “Conker’s Bad Fur Day-” as in the Nintendo 64 version. Rare celebrating thirty years is a charming thing. However, this doesn’t negate the sour taste of Microsoft buying out Rare. Seeing cutouts of old beloved games and characters being used by people who haven’t properly utilized them before gives me a bit of a sad feeling. “Rare Replay” is still pretty great though.
