A lot of times we buy more games than we actually have time to play which leads to the problem of back logs. But some times a game could be so dull that the back log is created because we just ended up saying “F***-it" after some time or when something better comes along. Here are a few games from last year I ended up saying “F***-it” too.

"As a journalism major, I like how Bitmob gives me the oppurtunity to practice my skills but I do at times feel that I'm giving my hard work away for free. However it would be great if Bitmob did more for guys like me by better promoting our work or recommending us to other publishers they may know. It would also be great if staffers and ediotrs gave us tips on how to improve our writing."

"Your right in that most people pre-order because they seriously want a game and are given a special offer when doing so. But you do make a good point regarding the "keeping up with the video-gaming Joneses""

"More CEO's should follow Brian Farall's example as oppose to the norm of cutting the employee pay and health insuance. Or I guess Farall has seen the reaction of the 99% in response to Bank CEO's giving themselves bonuses for tanking the economy and dose not want to upset the demographic who enjoys video games."

"You are so right on the subject. As someone who has studied the impact of media conglomerates on society, the lack of creativity is somthing that is always underlooked. Media outlets can make a crap product and use the subsidies they own to promote it while drowning orginality. In video games is what popular that allowses devlopers to flood the market and disregard creativity. "

"All trailers (be it video game or movie) are the same. It suppose to lure you into having an intrest with all the good stuff. Depending on the quality or artistic meirt; you will either enjoy it or disappointed that you were tricked into wasting your time and money. I personally feel its best to have an objective viwe point followed by that gut feeling that tells you if somthing is good or bad."

"I see your point and I did find such moments in the game very fustrating or contrdicting the point of the game. Had they given you the option to move on to the next case than it would have made a lot of sense. But this method makes you wanna question the main chracters own detective skills."

"I hate to be that guy but I never understood what was so amazing about Halo. I always found it to be a bland shooter that was always over hyped by Xbox gamers since they lacked any game like Vice City. "

"I won't blaim bainwashing but instead blaim lazy parenting. The cycle works with kid seeing cool game on Tv and wanting it, the parent is too lazy to do his/her research or displine the crying brat so they buy the game, 3 months later they see their kid playng the game and are suprisingly shocked. This event will happen again next year and the year after that.
Yet kids are always fasinated with violence."
