That's understandable from the game designers' point of view-why mess with a good thing? Well, you should mess with a good thing because people are tired of the same ol' old thing. So? These two features are relatively minor. The pulleys add a little variety to the seemingly endless amount of one-player levels, and the Chain Reaction System forces you to play the game a little differently than you have been playing it for the past several years. I mean, I can't deny that this is the best Bust-A-Move yet. It's a simple game and if the developers can't be bothered to convert it properly, we can't be bothered to recommend it to anyone.ĭoes the world really need another Bust-A-Move? Maybe. If you've got a P2 then it's worth considering otherwise you may as well forget it. It's a wasted opportunity because there's nothing wrong with the game itself, and the new features, including the pulley system and chain reactions, work really well. This is unforgivable and the direct result of a lazy port that feels like it's actually PlayStation code that's running under emulation. We tried it out on a P233 and we could only play it in a window. What's worse, you can only play it in full screen mode if you've got a decent PC. This is the latest game in the series (forget the name change and just concentrate on the number to avoid confusion) and the graphics are still piss poor. Our resident charmer, Charlie Brooker, said that you might as well invite the developers round to 'piss in your eyes.' Poor graphics and jerky animations, y'see. Standard reporter Philip Fairbanks can be reached at (931) 473-2191.We reviewed Puzzle Bobble 2 last issue and awarded it a desultory 30%. And hey, what could be funnier than a spokesman who can hardly speak? Of course, at the time it was pretty worrisome seeing as he supposedly was leader of the Free World, but I’m a bit older and wiser now and realize presidents and other politicians are mostly spokesmen anyway. That said, the main difference between the two is plain to see: George W. I’m firmly of the opinion that if you actually look at the policies and not the rhetoric, Barack Obama was at least as bad a president as George W. There are politicians who can talk a good game, but the slicker their social media presentation and speaking skills (or social media despite lack of speaking skills, as in John Fetterman’s case), the more I’m inclined to not trust them. Most of our politicians, whether ostensibly on the left or right, tend to serve the status quo and themselves more than the public they are supposedly charged with serving. Maybe it’s realizing that cognitive decline is a sign of exploitation and even a hair-sniffing segregationist deserves better. For all intents and purposes, this is a guy who should have me belly laughing, but maybe it’s that confused look in his eye that’s almost certainly a sign of serious cognitive decline. He’s one of the few people I’ve ever seen fall upstairs. I must admit, I never trusted or liked him and certainly didn’t vote for him but he regularly cracked me up. 2025, anyway? Sure, we could do better, but could we do worse? Doubtful!ĭonald Trump is another great example. Now obviously that’s not true, but is it really much further off the mark than any other campaign promise that’ll be broken by early Feb. Whether it’s claiming his mother died on 9/11 in the Twin Towers despite her death being listed in the 2000s, or the gutsy attempted save when he explained he was “Jew-ish” not “Jewish.” Who knows? Maybe Santos’ patented brand of fearless lies is just what we need to navigate these difficult and uncertain times. If it were a movie, I would have already been complaining over how the suspension of disbelief had been stretched beyond recognition. Regardless, despite the fact he is surely one of the worst examples of a politician in my lifetime, I have to almost respect it a bit in a weird way. Especially considering how effective-truth-bending is foremost in the politician’s bag of tricks. However, it is unclear if his lack of skill at lying is a primary cause. Santos is certainly as awful a politician as he is a bad liar. I’m not a fan of crooked, lying politicians, but I must say if you’re going to go that route, do it up.
