Mad Magazine Says What Sucks About Video Games

Believe it or not, gaming isn't perfect. Mad Magazine has a list of 50 things that suck eggs about it. Here a couple that made us chuckle:

#43 Trying to decide which sucks more: movies based on video games or video games based on movies.

#23 Having to 'level up' your characters in role-playing games to the point where it requires more work than your actual job.

#24 Highly-anticipated releases like Half-Life 2 and Doom 3, which boast innovative, thrilling new ways for you to, uh...kill stuff.

#17 Falling for EA's annual con of forking over 50 bucks for the improved version of Madden Football, since 'improved' apparently means adding a couple of dozen bench players and seven new version of Madden yelling, 'Boom! He sure knows how to tackle!'

#7 Downloading 'patches' for the latest and greatest massive-multiplayer extravaganza. You mean our 50 bucks AND the monthly fee didn't actually include a finished product?

Game site Destructoid kindly bought the issue with its lunch money. Drop by and see the rest.
