Mass Effect and other similar cruel and sexually abusive games are immoral. Don't be surprised if the industry who actually makes them acts the same way. Question is what effect does it have on the players? I don't have the right to judge anyone that's why I'm leaving this question to be answered up to you. I think that most of you won't agree with me about the above statement in the first sentence, so consider it as an inconvenient truth. After all who even cares about morality today? Definitely not the big industry.
@CarlosRodela I don't think making the show more informational then it is would work. We have other shows on GS to do this already. I think If you tell us about mods, bugs or something similar which is quite funny is enough I believe. Still you could try and let us actually see what you have in mind and then you will read the response. Sometimes you could also come up with stories like this one [url=http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2011/03/hank_chien_breaks_previous_dk_record_climbs_further_up_the_ladder]"Hank Chien Breaks Previous DK Record, Climbs Further Up the Ladder"[/url] or [url=http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2011/05/this_nes_pad_is_the_biggest_game_controller_in_the_world]This NES Pad is the Biggest Game Controller in the World[/url] Just random examples. Just to help you out a little I thought mentioning geekologie.com won't hurt in case you don't know it already. There are tons of odd stuff also connected with games like the Mario portal game you have featured in this video
A year or so back I realize that scores are not sacred when you decide which game you should buy or play. Much more important then scores is the question what type of games do you enjoy. For example I really love 3D platformers which are dieing out and although the low rating of Disney Epic Mickey I enjoyed playing it very much because I love the genre and don't care about the ratings. Next good question: what is the most important factor of a game to you personally? Some people are wowing to hi-edge graphic others to good stories now the third category focus only on gameplay etc. For example I love good stories which are pulling me forward to play something and then usually don't care about anything else (like graphics, gameplay etc.) like one of the old games called The Neverhood It's true some aspects were terrible but in those times some things were quite innovating and the story quite unusual and interesting. Also I played games like Emergency 2012 and give to it a 6 but sometimes I think to play it again. On the other hand sometimes it happens that we rate a very well rated game much lover then the average. Why? Because rating games is way too subjective then it appears, this are only orientational values of the overall product performance, usually not mirroring your personal taste.
Some folks have already opened a server on GS and made a union, here's the link http://www.gamespot.com/pages/unions/home.php?union_id=FiMiUn but to have another one on GS won't hurt ^_^ Some more things about Minecraft can be found in my recent blogs on GS. Lately I'm a lot into using mods and other tools to make Minecraft a more creative tool then adventure and crafting. I'll post some more info about it in my next blog. If you have any questions about Minecraft comment in my blogs about Minecraft or PM me. PS: hehe those paintings are from games: (from left to right) King's Quest 1 (PC), Donkey Kong (NES), maybe international Karate (c64)?
