all games are not created equal

The guys who made Spyro the Dragon
vs.
the guys who made Crash Bandicoot.

Disregarding that Jak and Daxter was rather innovative (as a free-roaming adventure game), something is beautiful about Ratchet & Clank (just as something is beautiful about Spyro).

Comments?
(Does anyone play the games that I play? And am I making too many random, annoying comparisons at once? Seriously, feel free to ban me at anytime if I'm causing a problem.)

I THINK THE UNIVERSE JUST EXPLODED!
HOW COULD ANYTHING POSSIBLY BEAT FALLOUT 3?

Oh, but this is a cool video game. Cool video games always win.

(Seriously, who submitted "Cool Video Game" as a game?)

This is another one of those comparisons that I do where I haven't played one of the games.

I've played the trial of BK on XBLA, and I have to say that I'll probably buy it eventually...but there's something epic about the entire Spyro series (the PSX games, I mean) that just raptures me. I can't really explain it, as there's not much to talk about. It's just good-ol' adventuring, stuff-collecting, and the occasional (and usually awesome) minigame. Maybe it's just because I grew up with a PlayStation, so Spyro was all I had access to. Nostalgia?

Comments?
(Has anyone ever even played either of these?)

In response to Dervy's comparison:

Gears of War 2 had one of the most epic campaigns I've ever played. AND it's long. AND you can play co-op. (It did end kinda lame, though.)

GoW 2 also has "Horde", which is far more entertaining than "Zombie Mode". Speaking of which, why don't you just play Left 4 Dead? There's actual gameplay in both "Horde" and L4D.

The multiplayer, how ever laggy it may be for you, is brilliant on so many levels. The weapons, the maps, everything. And bots.

And why do the controls feel "muddy" to Dervy? I do not know. Maybe it's because the game plays very differently. It's about weaving through and jumping over cover. In many ways, the game is actually more tactical than COD.

And a machine gun with a chainsaw. 'Nuff said.

(Honestly, I've never played WaW, but I've played COD4, and I can tell you nothing has changed from what I've seen of WaW.)

TF2 is better on so many levels:

+ There's actually gameplay, rather than RUN SHOOT RUN SHOOT CAMP SNIPE RUN.

+ Classes actually play like different classes. it's entertaining to have different roles to play in a game.

+ It actually requires team cooperation. It's very fun to work together and set up defenses while planning attacks, rather than running around and capturing points (only to have the other team take the point back 2 seconds later) and shooting through walls.



That said (and with many unwritten reasons), Call of Duty 4 is still a very entertaining game. But COD4 just isn't THAT good of a multiplayer game. TF2 is.
