not proper adults, ops saying games catered towards adults

That's true. I wouldn't expect someone to play games that aren't fun to them.

But you're not exactly helping the gaming industry improve if you're regularly giving money to douchey companies rather than more open-minded publishers. I think it's pretty simple to argue that you're endorsing the scumbag behavior if you help finance it.

That's a very good point. But they're even more of a corporate behemoth now.

I was a Nintendo Power subscriber until the GameCube era, and I feel like they used to share a little bit of behind-the-scenes fun (e.g. making-of Donkey Kong Country VHS) and promote 3rd-party titles even on the magazine cover. But it seems like even that kind of stuff is long gone.

That was pretty fun, very clever too. They could spend more on the graphics because it was greyscale.

Red Steel or MadWorld?
