They say with constant technology advancements, games are becoming more like movies...or rather movies are becoming more like games, judging the lack of creativityfrom Hollywood these days. Games and consoles have become popular holiday gifts that parents buy for their children so it's little surprise that many major games are released during this time of the year. Myself, i plan to occupy my time with my much-neglected PSP playing Konami's one-two punch of Dracula X Chronicles and Silent Hill Origins (released back-to-back over the last two months).
Traverse around galaxy with Mario this season?
Then it got me thinking, if games are becoming more like movies and with the holiday seasons around, why don't we see an influx of feel good games like the type of Christmas movies of Hollywood? Could it be because, playing games itself is just a pleasure that whether you are playing the Grand Thefts or Loco-Rocos of the season, you are likely to have a smile on your face. I guess games have this timeless appeal that makes them suitable to play anytime of the year, because let's face it shooting down undeads never gets old. So maybe in light of the festive season, we should all put down our guns and pick up something happy, like the Loco-Roco of this year....Crush. I certainly plan to....
Or take a gamble with a 'small' game like Crush?
