Can Americans even make good video games?
 
All I can think of is like, uh, Metroid Prime. I'm not into western style RPGs, so that's totally discounted.
I'd really love to know some more, though.

Hey guys, what's going on in here?

atsonicpark 05.02.2009 07:52 AM

the answer is no.

I've never thought of it like that but yeah, it does seem like there's a bit of a lack of good US made video games. Weird.

Fuck yeah.

That's probably true that there aren't very many good US console games. But there are a ton of great PC ones. Most Blizzard games, X-COM, Pretty much all the Lucasarts adventure games, Star Control II, Deus Ex.

Ah, I just remembered Zombies Ate My Neighbors, developed by Lucasarts, that game is pretty hot.

But yeah, on the PC market, that's where America shines, on the console market, yeah I guess you're right.

Man, Grim Fandango, one of the best games ever.

The first Fallout is a good one too. And NBA Jam.

sarramkrop 05.02.2009 11:38 AM

You're still pathetic.

Toilet & Bowels 05.02.2009 11:40 AM
