Feature: I Bought These 4 Games, I Wasted My Cash

by Ernice Gilbert on May 24th, 2010, under Article

It’s happened to many a gamer throughout their lives: you purchase a title that you’ve been waiting on for umpteen years. Your dreams were overwhelmed by it, at school your attention was deterred. Every gaming website, from IGN to GamesThirst you scoured, taking in every bit of news about said title that you could find. After all, they said it’d be one of the biggest games of all time, and for some unknown reason you believed the lie.

One more day before the game’s made available on the market and you’re at a midnight launch party at GameStop, first in line waiting to spend 60 of your hard earned dollars to joyously purchase it.

The midnight launch party is not your focus; neither did you come to associate with the throng. All you came to do is purchase the title, say thank you Jesus and rush back to your house to play, no, enjoy a yearlong yearning.

Two days later you’re at that same GameStop trading in that same game that had overtaken your life for six months. Two days because for the entirety of one, you tried hard to find something about it that would make you continue playing… Nothing was found.

Yes it’s happened to me before and I’m almost sure you. These 4 games wasted my cash:

Microsoft Throwing Money At JRPGs Hasn’t Paid Off Says Pachter

by Ernice Gilbert on March 24th, 2010, under Microsoft, Square-Enix

As most gamers know by now, Japanese Role Playing Games or JRPGs have done great on PlayStation platforms. They haven’t had a stellar run on Xbox 360 mainly because said console is not selling many units in Japan and although the JRPG base is huge, it’s still a niche.

Microsoft saw things differently. The company thought if they could get some of the JRPGs that have been only on PlayStation platforms for years to jump over to Xbox 360, it would result in hardware sales especially in Japan where Redmond needs it the most. Well according to Wedbush Morgan Securities Analyst, Michael Pachter, the investment was a bad one.
