ABACABB....read on..

If you havent caught it... ABACABB is the blood code from Mortal Kombat on Sega Genesis (when I was about 9). Sadly, I still remember it... I only reference this as a segue to explain my frustration with current video games. I dont play them, nor have I since the original Playstation made its debut and everyone my age had to have one (or else they were concidered "poor"), so out of obligation and my 9 year old reputation..I bought one with christmas money (insert "Jesus angry with my early finacial choices" joke here). With that being said... I have relatives who own x-boxs, PS3's, Wiis, etc... and despite being a sharp 24 year old now.. I just cant get it. I liked the simplicity of old school video games (and by "old school" i mean super NES, and sega [sidenote: i was born in '84]). I remember when there was 3 options of buttons and one camera angle...and everyone was perferctly happy!! I remember B was throw the football, C was run around faster, and A was dive.... do people really need a more realistic way of playing a sport with out actually getting off the couch? Does it really take 12 simultaniously pressed buttons and carpal tunnel to get Scorpion to crush someones skull? Well I think thats horseshit.. Granted Im a nobody in the relative world of video games but I know what made me happy and simplistic games that had easily discovered cheats was the way to go. I do however enjoy the new graphics and advanced picture. But what I dont get is the correlation to its level of difficulty to play. I shouldnt need to use my thumb, index finger and pinky finger to simply putt a golf ball...thats all...
