I've always thought the UK had the most bland gaming taste, and now I know why. That's pretty much my definition of a bland game. So does Disney animation not do well over there either?

I've always thought the UK had the best taste in gaming

Said the guy from the UK with stereotypical UK gaming taste :P

My post wasn't to say that objectively UK gaming taste is bad, just that this article shows why I personally always found it bland. Their definition of an appealing game and my definition of a bland one are identicle. It always bugged me how an entire country seemed to consistently have radically different tastes from me, and now I know the history as to why.
