Games are becoming less fun...
So I want to play som Hockey. I see that NHL '08 is the highest rated, so I go grab it. I want to start a season with my Bruins so I can keep track of my wins and losses and some player stats. Nope...not this game. You HAVE to play a Dynasty which then requires you to be bombarded with a ton of menus, messages, salary caps, experience points, etc. I could not even get the damn season started because I was over the salary cap with the current downloaded rosters! Don't most people want to put a disc in, take a few shots, check some people around and make Gretzski bleed a little? Why do all of these sports games just keep adding in more and more complexity and forgetting about the fun factor we all had in the Genesis days? I must sound like an old man by saying that, but I just am not having fun with any sports games anymore. Even Midway took Blitz and turned it into something way more then it needed to be. I know EA tried with NFL Tour, but they actually missed the mark by a mile with that piece of crap. I think I am just going to need to leave my my PS One hooked up and keep playing Blitz and my Genesis to play NHL '93 .

GameSpot Reviews on GameRankings
I got a bunch on IMs yesterday about this and then saw a whole bunch of articles and board posts this morning. Even though I no longer work here, as the founder of that site, I will say that I am sure it was a technical glitch. There is a script that updates the GameSpot reviews automaticlly and since there has been no development on the site in 4 years, something just hic-upped and the script didn't run. I am positive it was not a conscience decision, so put it to rest. I see all the reviews are back this morning. Lee is a machine!

Please Stop Hacking the Site

I don't work at GameSpot anymore, but I still know a bunch of the engineers there and they are working extra hard to stop the hackers. Your not doing anything but making a couple of good guys work extra hard over the weekend and late at night by hacking the site. Your not hurting "The Man" at all. Send emails to the board of directors, cancel your memberships, stop coming to the site, or show other ways to express your anger, but hacking the site is not cool and not hurting the right people, so please stop it.
