Forums - Gaming Discussion - Penny Arcade's "The Sucking" from June 2001.

I just beat Kid Icarus for the 3rd time yesterday. Of all the enemies on that game the eggplant wizards and the thieves in level 2-2(or 2-3) are by far the worst. Especially the eggplant wizards in the 2-4 section just before the boss. Those sons of bitches have caused me much grief.

Overall I agree. Games in general have gotten easier and less ingenious, with the rare exceptions of course. The Wii's philosophy with Wii Ware and the fact Nintendo turned its back on the hardware pushing trend are steps in the right direction. Even Live's XNA is a very good idea. Though, it has brought anything out yet, as far as I know.

I really hope in the end Wii's dominance is so great Sony and MS are forced to take a much smaller step next gen and focus on something other than pixels and power.
