First off, I'd like to say this.
Second off, I've been noticing a coupla games of the computer variety at the local Wal-mart, and I thought I'd mention them.
"Gun" - A wild west game that, from what I've read, tells it like it is. I won't be getting it, and if I do, I won't be playing it. Rated: Big Honkin' M. From the list on the box, it's surprising it didn't get an "AO" right there, but apparently violence is okay, and the sex is... well, I don't know, but apparently not gratuitous or anything. Unless it is. Midwest freaks set the standards, man.
"Matrix: The Path of Neo" - I'll give this one a bit more attention. The previous one looks story-driven, but intense. Not so this one. It might be intense, but the graphics on the back of the box say "eh". 600 martial arts moves? I've only got one keyboard, man! Thing is, this one got a "Teen" rating, bringing it down from the films that inspired it. Not only that, but it's admittedly just a bunch of fight scenes. I hate to point back at the other Matrix CG as an example of good film... errr... game-making, but they at least pretended to have a plot. Atari, by all reports, wants out of the mainstream game making and into more "mature" games. I'd humbly suggest that this is a poor way to go about it. Rating be damned, give us some meat. Some sort of story. That the game is tied into a movie... y'know, the back of the box even says it has an "alternate ending", but what that means given the context is anybody's guess.
I'm going back to physics.
