Taking responsibility for the kids' boring tastes in games

The kids in my family have boring tastes in video games, and it’s my fault. Now, to correct the situation....

Ever since kids were invented they've liked dumb things. Maybe boring games are the new...Pokemon...or smoking? I dunno what kids like.

I don't think kids liked dumb things to begin with

I mean take a look at Kids TV shows for example

Look at the difference between the Cartoon Network of 1992 to the Cartoon Network we have now. It's not just you as a child growing up, they really have become dumbed down

Although it's not as bad with video games....but compare the crap gimmicky Skylanders Spyros Adventures to Mario/Sonic we had back in the day......the quality really has dropped

If I wanted kids I would buy them retro games like Sonic, Mario, Banjo, Crash for example, off next gens online store rather then the kiddy casual crap they have out today

Hey!

You leave Adventure Time alone

Seems like cartoon network had more shows about good vs evil back then. Now they have retarded crap like chowder. They had more anime on back then too, like dbz.

Sorry but one cartoon out of the many crap ones thats on CN now won't make a difference

CN of 1992 to.....erm.....when did it start getting crap......I would say 2007, pretty sure it's when the president of CN, Jim Samples, resigned and they revamped everything.......those were the days of CN which were amazing. Pretty sure the new guy in charge was the one who got rid of Toonami

15 years of classic cartoons. From Captain Planet to Freakazoid to Ed, Edd and Eddy and finally Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy

TheFirstClassic4501d ago

When I was a kid, everyone like banjo kazooie, mario, zelda, spyro, star fox, smash bros, and crash bandicoot.

Now kids just like call of duty...

VINNIEPAZ4501d ago (Edited 4501d ago )

Taking it a lil further back, Contra, Castlevania, Mega Man, Ninja Gaiden, ext...

But yea, now its all, "OMGZ!1!!! TEH C@ILZ 0F DuTIeZZ!1!!1!"

Review: Bit.Trip Rerunner is a great example of what a good remake looks like - Entertainium

With the inclusion of the original game and a set of new mechanics that slot in naturally, Bit.Trip Rerunner is a stellar example of a remake.

Top 20 Best DSiWare Games (10-1)

Alex S. from Link Cable Gaming writes: "Last week we took a look at ten games that, while great in their own right kind of represented what most people think of when they think of DSiWare; small games that offer fun, but limited experiences. And while that's definitely a defining feature of DSiWare games the service was also home to some surprisingly deep experiences that you can take on the go. And that's really what defines the best games for the service, games that went above and beyond what people expected from it."
