A high selling game doesn’t always means its good. Look at Driv3r. Some of the best games of all time are busts in terms of sales. Capcom did a good job of marketing a lack luster game but I wish they wouldv’e went all out with a better game like Resident Evil 4. We are entering an era of gaming where games don’t have too be good at all and sell simply off marketing and hype. They don’t even show gameplay anymore in game commercials!

MS junkies on a binge just before being sent on a little Junkett to a Lost Planet after turning over all their money to Bill Gates to allow them to throw a Pie in his Face! XBUCKS 360 is certainly done well for him! Don’t you think? Capcom Who? Don’t they make Beavis and Butthead cartoons?
