What's wrong with Animal Crossing?!
It's the exact same shit every single time but with less NES games.

Part of it is he is just turned off by all the hype, fervor and fandom that games like RE4, HL and Nights get when he personally already has problems with the games mechanically.

It's Nintendo's second worst franchise after Pokemon, that's what's wrong.

Stream's back up and Ryan won the tournament.

Camelot is indeed awesome even if Dark Dawn was a crushing disappointment.

Jerry Signfeld... I need to get this game.
Plotting to kill the dolphins and Zeke. Sim golf is much more dark than I ever imagined.

That would be so great, but it couldn't be their first try or it'd be bad.

Wow. Someone who thinks that WiiMusic and WiiFit are better games then Animal Crossing. I guess there is always bound to be one, but I could not disagree more.
And yeah...Jeff is great at what he does, but that does not mean that he has impeccable taste in games. No one does.
I don't want to meet the person who has 'good taste in games'. I imagine they would be the same kind of person whose favorite bands are Neutral Milk Hotel, Radiohead, Beatles. They would be the kind of person who likes stuff based only on what's highly acclaimed. No individuality whatsoever.

Right, people started listening to some little British skiffle band playing in dingy nightclubs in Germany because they were popular. That makes sense. Did you ever think that maybe SOMETIMES things become popular because they are good, or do you wipe your ass with newspaper because toilet paper is too "highly acclaimed"?
This and the new SimCity gameplay is making me want to reinstall Theme Park or Theme Hospital.
I miss the genre. I wish it was as popular as it used to be. A lot of the smaller developers have good ideas, but they're never as good as the classics.

lol chill out bro, i never said they were good or bad.
I don't see why it needs to be either extreme. There are hipster gamers of course, Patrick is one more or less, he seems to care more about what his choice of game says about him than what he has to say about his choice of games.
It's cool that Jeff doesn't care what people think about his tastes, that doesn't mean people can't comment on them. His job is to provide purchasing advice for people, if his tastes are inconsistent with people and more importantly, unpredictable, it makes his opinions of less value than someone of a more mainstream, or predictable taste.

As long as they're honest, and explain their opinions clearly and properly, that's all I care about. That's all I want. Off-the-wall taste doesn't bother me, otherwise I wouldn't be watching a stream of a golf course sim right now.

Nice work, Drew, hahaha
There has been far too much talking about games in the last couple pages of this thread...
They put out a pretty funny warning video regarding alphas and the caveats that come with them.
Check out Prison Architect. It's by Introversion (the British guys who made Darwinia, DEFCON, Uplink etc), and currently available as a buyable alpha.

Probably won't drop until Tuesday. 95% sure the game has an embargo until then.

They have it in their schedule box. 8/10 3pm, but I'm from australia.
He also said the embargo ends on sunday night 9pm PST so monday morning midnight for the east coast.

Man, Sid Meier is so fucking great. I know I have a copy of Sim Golf around somewhere, I really need to dig around a little.

From Brad's twitter. Maybe the new Fable actually isn't that bad?
Antiwhippy

Seems like he loves it. Don't see anything else to prove otherwise.
The Kinect is known for its fantastic games, safe to assume that Fable: The Journey is another in a long line of fabulous Kinect titles. But after great games like Steel Battallion: Heavy Armor, I wouldn't expect anything other than excellence. It's Kinect, after all!
As a hardcore gamer that owns almost all the consoles, Kinect is sure to end up in my christmas stocking!
And don't forget about these testimonials by real gamers about how good Fable: The Journey is: http://youtu.be/JTindUKAcmg
Absolutely. And I'm sure he was just referring to his back problems and headache with this tweet:
