Shame on you
 Gamers hold within their hands the power to shape the face of gaming forever. With each purchase, they make a clear choice that sends more than money to the publisher: they send a vote, a preference of one title over another, and teach the industry what it is they want to play.
Like that insect-inspired movie said, however, with great power comes great responsibility, and after taking a good long look at the best selling games of the day, Gameconnect has come to the conclusion that you don’t know what you’re doing, and that the next time you purchase a Pokemon game, a gaming angel will lose its wings.
Gems have been produced, and you let them slide by, teaching the game publishing world that all you want really is ‘more of the same’, and in this case, ‘the same’ happens to be Madden, Fifa, Pro Evolution Soccer, and uninspired ‘realistic’ shooters.
This article takes you on a time machine journey of the last 6 chances you had to change gaming into something better, 6 chances you failed, and we tell you exactly where and why you should have played more of these games, bought 2 copies of each, and sent love letters to their designers. We also have a few of them up for download. It’s your chance to learn about redemption, and how to make sure that we don’t have to ever see Pro Street Dance Dance Pokemon Fifa Basketball 2010 on the shelves.
