Good but not great real time strategy game. Lacks strategic decision making. Good tactical gameplay, but not enough to make it into the “Does Not Suck Category”

Battlefield Bad Company 2

This game does not suck. Skip the single player mode. Multiplayer is rich and inviting, but missed some easy opportunities to best BF 2142 in terms of the replayability and technical shortcomings.

 Why Some Games Do Not Suck, and Others Do

Prior to launching our website and podcast, Mr. Crusty and Nelson spent 14 years doing intensive market research into the gaming market using focus groups under actual real world conditions. We followed this up with an exhaustive review of the academic journals on leisure time, game theory, the part of the brain that processes strategic decisions and ethical studies of on line gaming.

Actually no. We didn’t do a damn thing except decide it would be fun to start this project. We were drinking. The amazing thing is that the project survived to sobriety. Also, we wanted to have an excuse to tell our wives that we had to play video games.
