Game Informer has phased out its classic reviews section.
WHY MUST THIS WORLD DESTROY EVERYTHING I LOVE?!?!  |
I just noticed that today myself when looking in my issue that came in today. I was hoping that maybe it was just a one month thing, but now that optimism has been crushed.  |
It SUCKS. Those classic reviews at the end of the magazine are the reason why I read magazines back-to-front.

You know, I suppose it took the phasing out to make me realize that the classic section really the main reason why I read the magazine in the first place. At this point, I have to agree with you.

I've probably said this a bunch of times, but I don't care I'll say it again: The fact that Banjo-Kazooie and Tooie are on the Xbox and not the Wii VC.

Eh, Rare is past its prime. Aside from Viva Pinata, they haven't done anything good since Star Fox Adventures.
But it pisses me off that Smash Brothers STILL isn't on the Virtual Console in North America.

When FPS's put you in an elevator with two doors, but no indication on which door will open, leading to you getting shot and killed when the ride ends.

While Rare may be past its prime, that Kameo game they did for Xbox 360 was bad ass. Great graphics, great gameplay and a pretty original game. Given, they havent really put out anything since then that has been worth a shit....

Kameo was fun, but it was a little too short and a little too easy, probably as a result of production delays resulting in the game being moved from the GCN to the XBox to the 360.

Rare lost alot of it's key employees during the move to Microsoft I believe, which is probably why we haven't been seeing any A-list games from them since. It's thanks to that I believe Banjo-Kazooie is dead and probably Conker too, unless by some miracle Nintendo decides to buy the IPs from them and make BK be a platformer for people to play in-between Mario games and Conker to try and bring in the mature audience.
I wish.

The one Rare property I want to see more than anything else is a new Jet Force Gemini game

When you play a game at school and it ends up taking more time than expected, and you have to quit to not be late to the next lesson.
I just cleared a game, but the game didn't recognize it because I didn't watch the credits. At least I had enough time to save the replay.

I'm thankful I'm playing TNT Evilution with ZDoom. The designers thought it'd be funny to put 3 Cyberdemons in the first level - right in the path to a switch you need to get the blue key. That's impossible without cheating (suggestion: MDK the Cyberdemons, you're not given enough resources to kill three Cyberdemons in System Control).

I can't be the only one who doesn't give a shit about Bayonetta. It's just a Devil May Cry clone, except this time it's a chick with glasses.

When, after 36 minutes of battle and 138 Pokeballs of any type were thrown, a wild Pokemon (not a legendary) still manages to struggle itself to death.

Nintendo FINALLY selling Wii Sports Resort with a pair of Wii MotionPlus attachments when I already bought the game.

If you didn't open it I would imagine you could get store credit.

Not without a receipt! What the fuck am I gonna do, walk into Target and be like, "Hey, can I have $20 store credit for this? I don't have a receipt, but I swear I bought it yesterday and didn't just take it off the shelf two minutes ago..."

Yeah, I have done stuff like that before. As long as it isn't opened, they can resell it. Just say you got it as a gift and don't have a receipt. Also, if you bought it with a credit card, they could probably track the purchase with that.
EDIT: Aren't the video games in a locked cabinet? You can def. walk into the store without a receipt and walk up to returns section and not be told you just grabbed it....whats to stop people from having a receipt from a prior purchase in their pocket, grabbing the same item off the shelf and trying to return it?

Syd if Target won't take it back Wal-Mart will. I had about 6 unopened Wii games I took back just today, they didn't give me money but I got a giftcard with all the money on it. (Sorry about that by the way  ) Just say you don't have the reciept and they will credit you like Rydog said. Back when I had a shrink wrap machine I would buy $7 copies of Eternal Darkness and return them to Wal-Mart for $50.
