Games, Games, Games

This post is all about games. If you haven't played any game before reading this post, please scroll to the bottom of this blog and scroll up again. It is quite fun, almost like a game (but not a game).

Some of us like to visit websites about games to see release dates, launch events and game reviews. Some of the sites include gametrailer.com, gamespot.com and gamefaq.com. The last two of the examples are damn funny. Every time I read them out loud, I laugh.

Here is why:



I mean, come on, it's gamefag.com. The word "fag" is there :D

Many game titles are lame. Some of them are bad titles; not making sense to the consumer. Some of them are too long. Some of them are in Chinese characters, and some of them in foreign language which I can't recognize.

1) Dead or Alive

Dead or alive is actually... ... ...a fighting game. Does the word "dead" or "alive" or even "or" say anything about fighting games? Of course not. Dead is when a person dies. Alive is when the person who died stand up. In this fighting game, the girls are in the spotlight. Their breasts oh-my-son-of-mother can move individually like jelly (not Pug Jelly, the local band). If you're interested, go to Youtube and search. This blog will not publish anything that cannot be read by a toddler. Just kidding.




2) Mobile Suit Gundam: Gundam vs. Zeta Gundam


Yes, it's true. They repeated the word gundam THREE times in their title. And worst still, it looks as if gundam is fighting with..gundam. Gundam itself is stupid. Break the word up into two and you get "Gun" and "damn". Damn it.

Okay, let me try to make some close examples to why this game's name suck.

a) Cinderella Fighting Queen: Queen vs. More Queens

b) PowerPuffGirls and Mojo Jojo: Jo jo jo jo jo jo jo

c) Dead or Alive: Are you Dead or Alive?

3) Death by Dying

Erm. What did you say?

Come on, we all know that the only way you die is through dying. Anything before death is dying. Even when you are hit by a speeding lorry and you're bleeding on the road with twenty people staring at you taking pictures and planning to send it to stomp.sg, you are technically dying.

It is the same if you say: "Jump by Jumping" or "Doing homework by doing homework".

This kind of title makes consumers feel stupid. Seriously.

The average consumer's conversation:

Consumer: Is this death by dying, the number one game in Singapore?
Owner: Yes and you're pointing at the game's title and you're repeating the game's title to me, a person who owned the game for three months already. Aren't you asking a dumb question?
Consumer: So, what is this game about?
Owner: (trying very hard to make the consumer feel stupid) Oh, in this game, a person who died was found to die through the act of dying.

Gaming to me is important even though I only completed a few games since I was born. I didn't even complete Pokemon Yellow because the Elite four was too time-consuming to fight with. That is one reason why I don't like RPGs (Role Playing Games) such as World of Crap. I love playing third person shooters and they make up the bulk of my gaming time. My favourite game is Gunz. My favourite food is Chicken Rice. I don't know why I am telling you this.
