 MD> was fun for a bit, but after 5 minutes, i was wondering what the
 MD> whole point of the game was. It's almost impossible to die, too.
       I rented that.  That's a really good game.  Acclaim made it.  They 
wanted it to be an action game with no story, just action.  The graphics are 
wonderful and it IS possible to die.  I die an average of 7 times per level.
 MD> Courier Crisis - My friend rented this, who knows what supernatural
 MD> force drove him too, but it's pretty lame.  About the coolest thing
 MD> is that you can have the kid on the bike "Give a rude gesture"
 MD> and hear guys yell, "Arrest that punk!" The game itself, though,
       That game does suck.  ut once again, Sony didn't make it or even 
involve themselves in the game.  They just gave the company the go ahead at 
making the game.
 MD> was pretty lame. Mechwarrior 2 - Don't get me wrong, I worshipped
 MD> the computer game. But a)they butchered the game into some cheap
 MD> arcade remake and b0it was only 1 player. Dragon Ball GX - I really
       Mechwarrior 2 is another good title.  The company who made it wanted 
to make it an arcade-like game.  I like it.  I wouldn't uy it, just rent it 
until I beat it perfectly.
 MD> hate to say bad things about a fighting game attuned to such a great
 MD> anime series, but this game truly sucked.  It was entirely
 MD> unoriginal, with nothing more than flashy combos.  I'm sorry. (runs
 MD> up to anime collection "I will never speak wrongly of you again,
       Not made by Sony.
 MD> i promise!") MTG: Battlemage - What do you get when you take one of
 MD> the greatest card games of all time, and make it into a
 MD> pseudo-real-time strategy game with graphics to cry over? This. But
 MD> don't get me wrong here.  I like the PSX.  Heck, I OWN it.  But I
       It sucks on PC, too.
 MD> don't get me wrong here.  I like the PSX.  Heck, I OWN it.  But I
 MD> just wanted to open your eyes to the imperfection of it.
       I wasn't talking about PlayStation, I was talking about Sony's 
failures.  Not only in video games.  ut they haven't failed in the video game 
industry, either.
