New Review Posted: Nanobreaker

This week Gamecritics.com examines of two terrible Konami titles - Brad Gallaway tries out the first one, Nanobreaker, and finds that:

"Killing robots is boring. I'm not saying that killing robots is always boring as a rule, but killing robots as a goal in and of itself is not worth my time. Killing robots in between doing other adventure-type tasks is just fine, and if there's some kind of special fancy technique involved while actually killing a robot on the way to doing something else, that's usually okay. However, simply walking around generic environments for the sole purpose of killing robots is not only not entertaining, it's a complete waste of time, energy, and money. The fact that such a ridiculously stupid game exists is bad enough, but the fact that it could come from one of the minds behind Castlevania: Symphony of the Night—easily one of the PlayStation era's most entertaining games—is completely mind-boggling."

He has a few more insults to heap on the game here.

Poor Brad.. and Mike..

You guys need some cookies and milk or something ( ) to take away all the pain and suffering you've exposed yourselves to for our sakes. Kinda like.. what's that guy's name..? Oh, I forget.

But thanks anyway, for taking a hit for the home team.

Memo to Hypatia:

Leave the sports analogies for people who like sports.

What?

Didn't I say it right?

And even if I didn't (I'm pretty sure I did), you know what I meant.

So I should be given an "E" for Effort.
