I love Opus, really I do. What makes this particularly sad is how true it is, though.
I'm not saying the iPhone isn't pretty. I can be lured by the shiny new tech just as quickly as the next gal. But there were people queuing up the night before for this thing. You'd thing it was the next great game console or something.
I'm in no hurry to get the nifty new phone, just as I wasn't in any hurry to get the PS3 or the Wii, or hell, even a 360 (which we still don't have). Let everyone else pay extra to find the bugs; I'll wait for the price to go down along w/ the hype.
Digital Turnip Twaddling, indeed!

Dec. 29th, 2006 12:30 pmI really, really like the Spyro, the Dragon video game franchise. So I did the happy dance when I unwrapped the latest installment Christmas day.
Spyro, a New Beginning is NOT a Spyro game. There are no speedways, no portals, no mini-games. His sidekick Sparks is no longer a playable character, and is also no longer a health indicator. He's just comic relief. And I can't fry helpless little sheep and chickens just for the heck of it anymore!
To make it worse, I beat the game in 8hours 55mins! I usually get a good couple of weeks out of a Spyro game, becaus eof all the mini games and easter eggs hidden in the game. I guess they spent all the budget on getting Elijah Wood, Gary Oldman, and David Spade to do the voice overs, instead of crerating a DECENT GAME!!!! *fumes*
When I ( or my hubby) pay $50 for a BRAND NEW GAME, I expect to get more than a half day out of it!!!
