Not boring, of course. No good game is boring. But it doesn't have to be fun. The Godfather wasn't fun. Lord of the Rings wasn't fun. The Dark Knight wasn't fun.

Shadow of the Colossus wasn't fun, MGS4 wasn't fun, Killzone 2 wasn't fun, Heavy Rain won't be fun.

They're all still awesome, though.

I would sooner whack myself on the head with a hammer than be forced to play Frisbee Catch for any extended length of time. Of course fun games can be good- Mario Kart, LittleBigPlanet, Ratchet and Clank, light hearted games like that. But not all games that Mr. Malstrom considers "fun" are good. If the mainstream thinks they are, good for them.

I don't know what the Hell you were playing, MGS4 and SotC were fun as Hell.

Of course they were fun! In the sense that they were enjoyable. Were you laughing at any point during SoTC? Smiling widely? Swaying from side to side? Of course you weren't! That's exactly what I mean.

That's what I think of when I hear the word "fun". Something that would have a six year old singing and laughing and beaming.

That may well be what the blogger was saying, though he said it in an offensive way.
