This time in the history of videogames calls for the production of a real life cannon that is like what is used in Peggle. The reason for this, is the overkill in excessive whining that casual games get bashed as "garbage" because some titles like MadWorld don't sell as well as Cooking Mama or Wii Fit. There is this delusional belief that if, somehow, we ban Cooking Mama, the masses will suddenly crave MadWorld or Okami. Carnival Games is believed to cost several million in sales of Killer 7 or No More Heroes. Oh and the beat goes on. Apparently having Mario Kart Wii is the single greatest reason why RacePro on the 360 hasn't broken 5 million in sales.
Upset a game like MadWorld doesn't sell off the hook, the idea is to bash the number of owners of the Wii. How about facing reality that maybe the masses have lives, and find using their Wii to try to get in shape via Wii Fit is of greater interest then decapatating people in a game that is black and white and red all over? Why say the games are garbage? Why blame them? Why bash Wii Fit as being horrible? This mentality will end up saying Wii Fit is bad, while a game where the waggle isn't as accurate, but has blood, is quality?
So, the question remains: Where can I get a real life Peggle Cannon? I need to start raining down peggle balls on hardcore whiners who demand people stop buying casual games. And yes, I know this is totally evil, because Peggle is evil, but enough is enough. Rule number 1 of game design is that a game needs to provide activities people want to do, everything else. Excellent execution of an activity people don't want to do, is worse than mediocre execution of something people do want to do. It also translates into less sales.
