I have been thinking of a way to sugar coat this, but there is no way so I will come out and say it…there has been rumors that developers like Capcom intentionally create bad artificial intelligence so that you have to play co-op. What does that mean?

Microsoft introduced Windows Live as a measure to curb the piracy of games. Under this system gamers will be rewarded for buying games... 

 

Tetris is a classic game and have been around for a long time. I played Tetris on a 286 computer with, I think, a 25mg hard drive and even less memory. The game was on a floppy disk (remember those?).

I am still trying to convert my wife to a gamer. Previously I have tried Sims2 Pets, Star Wars and Solitaire. She did not like Sims or Star Wars but I had some luke warm success with Solitaire, but no solid gold luck so far.

So what’s next? Since she always beat the crap out of me with pool in real life, how about a game of pool on N-Gage? So I got the demo for Midnight Pool and installed it on my phone.

Bad move. The Midnight Pool demo only allows 90 seconds of game play and than exit back to the main menu. In that 90 seconds you have to select your player, an opponent and than shoot to see who will start the game. By the time you are finally in the game there is like 30 seconds left. You get one shot and then the demo is over.

Who would produce a game with such a crappy demo? Gameloft that’s who. Gameloft has a long tradition of producing crappy demos. The demo for Gameloft’s Brainchallenge can only be played once.

A demo should make you want to buy the game, not burn it.

Another failure to convert the wife (thanks to Gameloft). Next I think, I will try Tetris.

My wife is the ultimate anti-gamer. Let's see if I can get her to play games on N-Gage.

Who here have not secretly play Solitaire on the computer while at school or work? I know I have. Vegas mode; Cumulative Score. If I lose as much money in real life as I lost in Solitaire, I would be living in a box under a bridge right now. I played Solitaire so many times, that I am sick of solitaire and never want to see it again.
