Ideas

I noticed the featured comparison is gone. Something that would be better is for the #1 game to have a separate box with a compare me, so if there are games better they can be compared. More like a suggestion to compare the top games more and put them under more scrutiny. 

Also I think a little box with a random comparison would be cool or a random comparison that the user hasn't rated yet.

  • Hmm.  I'd love to put a comparison box over there, but there isn't a lot of room.  I could easily put a link to the comparison entry page with the clicked game being the one being compared against.  That could end up feeling a whole lot less spontaneous though.

    I do have the little rotating comparison module thing, so I could show that for logged in users above the main list and populate it with unseen comparisons, old comparison, potentially interesting comparisons or something like that.

    I'll definitely think these over.

  • Ooh, a random comparison generator would be cool.  That would force creativity, and would also seem like a challenge.  Just click random and then it automatically picks two games for you and then you gotta fill in the details.

    • Hmm... I'm in agreement with Cisle and Stone.  A random comparison generator would be great.  When there are more games and people, it might be best to have filters so you can choose what you're comparing, like RPG's only or RTS and Shooters.

    This comparision is for the purposes of the hall of meat and crash mode. While both offer the ability to destroy, Skate 2 has a better medium. In both games the player must find a suitable launch point. Where skate 2 deviates is that you can initiate the hom mode mid air. Then you can control is the character goes into a ball or is streched out. Also you can make your person roll if he is in a ball at the right moment. Burn out is interesting in that it has after touch and crashbreaker. After touch allows the user to control where the car goes in slow-mo and crashbreaker makes the car explode after it hit a certain number of cars. 
    What it mostly boils down to is that while breaking vehicles and explosions are fun, you can't deny the shock or breaking a person's arm or snapping their neck, after sending them off of a dam.

    While Tony Hawk games used to be the epitome of skating games, but when skate entered the gaming world, everything changed. Skate brought the ideas of not button mashing to get points but flicking the joystick in interesting directions. It brought a sense of purpose to each trick, a 180 meant moving the joystick from south to north along the side, not triangle in the air. Skate also brought the hall of meat. Where as most games you don't want to crash, in hom it is a race to see who can get hurt the most. It is a lot like the mode in Burnout Take Down to rack up damage.

    While both are RTS's, W3 takes the cake. W2 brought the addition of bnet to Blizzard, but it never went far with it. All it had was melee style games. What w3 brought to the table was the use map settings style games of starcraft mixed with a new 3d aspect. Also w3 allowed for a level of customizability not seen before. With the addition of creating your own character model, though it is a lot of work, but enough people made them to justify it.  The story of w3 was better as well. It brought more controversy in the warcraft universe with the introduction of two new races and with many more plot elements.

    Both of these games were for the Genesis. But Toejam and Earl just had that uniqueness that transcends time in that it is still a great game now. Altered Beast is still good but it is a 2d puncher still. Toejam and Earl just has this humorous aspect and it was one of the best alien games out and the ingenuity of some of the parts of the level were amazing, not to mention the random dancing.

  • Barbie is better than Fallout 3
    Overall Comparison
    I mean Barbie is totally a better game than Fallout 3. I mean barbie appeals a much broader audience and has more replay value than Fallout 3. Fallout 3 is for nerd in their basements.
