Top Ten Game Cliches

Posted by Zonk on from the stuff-we've-seen-before dept.

1up.com has a piece examining game cliches that are just done. Really. From the article: "2.) Pushing crates. Note to evil masterminds everywhere: We understand that you're trying to run a business, which involves receiving equipment and food somehow. But leaving those giant crates just lying around your warehouse for any one-man army to use for supplies and climbing? It's no wonder most startup criminal organizations fail within the first five years. Even seen in: God of War (PS2) 4.) Ridiculous portrayals of females. Women have breasts. Get over it. Even seen in: Soul Calibur II (PS2/XB/GC)"

    The day they get rid of Cliche' #4 will be a sad day for gaming indeed. Actually, I'm surprised all the G4-crowd isn't saying "but Morgan Webb looks like that, and *she* is lifelike"...
