Question Of The Week: Which Game Should Be Killed With Fire?

Let’s be honest, there are loads and loads of horrible games out there. Games which people pay good money to play, only to be disappointed.

We’ve reviewed at least one of said worthless games before, and we found that the only reason for its creation was to jump the money-makin’ wagon.

So, this week we want to know: Which game should be killed with fire, and why?

We don’t usually comment in the question – but this time we will. Prison Break: The Conspiracy — Kill it with Fire! The game was produced after the popular TV series and it was merely a way to make cash off innocent gamers who don’t know better. It’s a poor excuse for a game, and it’s horrible to play and even watch. When we had the rating system it scored a perfect 1/10. We’re not going to say much about the game here, but we’ve linked the review above.

Last week we asked you: If A Game Could Save Your Life, Which Game Would Be The Hero?

We’ve decided that man-a-tea deserves the prize. Not only will he save his own life, but he’ll also con others into bad situations. He could also quite possibly make a bit of money from his scenario. We love money.

It wasn’t about the picture. Honest.

Congratulations!

The Comment

The game that would save my life would be: Magic the gathering: duels of the planeswalkers. No one is truly a nerd until they are a MTG nerd. It requires a whole new level of nerd-dom. And i am not ashamed to admit it.

But how would it save my life? That one is easy.
I would be playing in the magic world tournament, and a bunch of mafia-types would have bet a bunch of money on me. I would have won my first game and lost the second, and take a break before the final tie-breaker in the form of match three. Then the mafia-types would threaten to kill me if I lost the final match (this would create the dramatic, life-threatening situation, most likely accompanied by tense music). I would sit down at the table and the situation would progress to the point that I had 2 creatures, my opponent had 1 creature to block with, and I only needed to attack with both my creatures to win, since he would be tapped out with no combat tricks. At this point, magic the gathering: duels of the planeswalkers would burst in with a tacky, cheap looking suit, saunter up to the table and physically stop me from attacking with my second creature. Just like it always does when I play online. It would also make a noise comparable to the sound of a thousand wheezing americans, just like the online play FORCED chat system does in MTG: DotP. Thankfully, my opponent would somehow lose his will to live after seeing me stall out in that final turn which I should have won, and would quit, preferably through the form of suicide in sheer frustration.

And that is how MTG: DotP would save my life, although admittedly it was also the cause of the situation, so it’s not a real hero. The real hero would be Sarkhan the mad, because he is mad. The end.

Just remember, it’s not about a game you hate — it’s about the game you think is really stupid, pointless, badly made, and/or horrible. The most believable answer will win the R200 eDreams voucher. And by believable, we mean — convince us that you’re right.
