The game Uncharted got a tremendous reception, whereas I found it to be a clumsy Tomb Raider knockoff duct-taped to a clumsy Gears knockoff, and the whole thing overlaid with incredibly annoying voice acting. The production values are great, but I think the game as a whole is really unsatisfying and played everything way too safe.

Bioshock has received tons of acclaim for it’s great “storytelling.” I personally think it’s a great game, but I think the storytelling is lousy. You get a disjointed, fairly predictable story about internal conflicts in an isolated society with one cool twist. Big whoop. It’s REAL triumph was in providing great atmosphere and excellent “texture” and some great level designs and art.

In film, I personally think Dark Knight was a lousy movie and significantly worse than Batman Begins (which was a B, maybe B+ in my book). It ruined my suspension of disbelief by trying to be “gritty” without being remotely realistic, and the whole thing felt really out of whack. And, believe me, this isn’t an iconoclastic reaction – I went to the theater expecting to really like it.

Are you my long lost twin? Rarely do people agree with my opinions on modern games/film, let alone three of them in one fell swoop.

Wait, a test: What did you think of Majora’s Mask?
