Confessions of a GalCiv gamer

Arrrrg!!! I just spent 50 bucks on "Enter the Matrix" for the PC. Why oh why didn't I take the blue pill and spend the money on a Drengin.net membership instead? :sniff!:
Oh well, the box makes a pretty good oven mit. LOL

COMPUTER GAMING WORLD

not Computer games mag, or PC Gamer (their reviewers are on crack), etc etc.

I've religiously listened to their reviews (since 1993!) and have never gone wrong (except when i didnt listen to them).

I think its more to do with the fact that they don't need to make a good game. The Matrix game has sold really well even though it sucks. Why should they bother pouring in extra developent time to make a good game when it will sell anyway.

Movie licensed games have always sucked. Best example, "Cliffhanger" ont the Amiga. used to have a great Amiga Power review of that. The Batman the Movie game on the Amiga is somewhat of an exception - it wasn't terrible, just not great. Used to have some other exceptions, but cannot remember them now.
