Are you on Crack? Goldeneye is the best game on the N64, for about two hours. Then you realize shooting the same guys over and over. And over. Is not much fun.

As for MGS, maybe you just didn't understand it.

Whoah there you reading between the lines. I said it sucked cause its not fun, not cause its a game that caters toward young childrens. And as for the ads, again you're way off point. I was using the adds to bring the comapanies' audiences to your attention. Nintendo appeals to the pre to early adolesent age group, and only that age group. Kind of like Sesame Street. You are comparing jakcs and Monopoly here son. If you like bouncing a rubber ball, hell, don't let me stop you.

Oh yeah another thing whats with you being moved emotionally by a game with little character develolpment and a shallow story line? You said it yourself. And I don't form my opinions based on what Nintendo Power magazine says. I'm pretty sure all those magazines you read said the same thing about Pilotwings 64 that they did abotu Zelda. go figure.

Da Meteor Fist

as much as I'd love to get in a pissing match with you, we've strayed a little bit off topic, and I feel compelled to keep my manners seeing how this is such a good natured forum.
