Activision's overkill

Activision, WHAT the hell are you doing?

I've been mean to those companies that consistently make a string of mediocre or bad games and then they go bankrupt. This is a tough business, and nobody has money to buy bad games. If your game is bad, we will know it as soon as the first review hits the internet.

But sometimes it's just not fair. You make great and successful strategy games, but then you are shut down by Microsoft. Or you create the Guitar Hero series, you are bought out by Activision and forced to churn out game after game until the market says "Stop!" because we are sick and tired of plastic instrument games, and then Activision shutters the studio .

I agree that if you release a piece of crap like Haze you deserve to go under. But if you make a good game like Prototype... is that fair? NO, IT ISN'T.

Activision, stop. Just stop.

Hello Danda,

How's life?

Oh, it is a shame how little I have written, but quite frankly, I hardly played any games at all in the past few weeks. I did play some GTA IV again, which managed to frustrate me quite a bit at some mission. Basically, I had to drive all the way across town to follow someone on a motorbike, and of course I fell off the bike at the first unexpected turn. So the guy got away. I restarted the mission, drove all the way across town, fell of the motorbike again, and again the mission was lost. After four or five tries I was so frustrated that I decided to do something else. So I was glad to hear it when a friend of mine told me that for the add-on The Lost and Damned they implemented checkpoints in missions, so you wouldn't have to start all over again. What a great idea!

Apart from that I have only played some DJ Hero on a friend's Xbox 360, and I have to say I found it quite entertaining. I didn't know most of the songs and I'm not a big fan of DJ mashup-music, so I suppose that's why I had more fun playing Guitar Hero with a friend on her Playstation 2 earlier this year. But both games are a lot of fun.

In other news, they released the game Dragon Age: Origins last month that looks really great. You bought it on Steam, right? Did you play it yet? I will definitely have to check that out at some point.

Well, Christmas is approaching and if all goes well, I should be able to do some serious gaming over the holidays/vacation. What's more christmasy than blasting some hellish spawn to pieces? Not much!

Later,
