This Day in Gaming, July 30th
1998: Human Entertainment releases Epica Stella (Vanguard Bandits) in Japan for PS. The game is a mech-heavy action/RPG with multiple endings. Multiple endings should be standard in any game that sucks away as much of your life as the standard RPG.
1999: Nintendo releases Mario Golf for N64 in the US. We're calling bullshit on this game; Mario has never had 4 free hours of recreation without the Princess getting captured by someone.
2003: EA releases Aliens Versus Predator: Extinction for XBOX. Now the concept of AVP is sound: an epic super bad guy dukes it out with the other epic super bad guy, but this manifestation has lost steam. How about some new mash-ups, like Zombies vs. Vampires, Motorcycles vs. Mopeds, Diet Colas vs. Regular Colas? Anything?
