Shoulda wrote them out. Digg is intolerable of grammatical errors. You just had to wait to comment until AFTER my edit-time expired, didn't you?
- Minapan, on 07/09/2009, -2/+22dugg for mario being overused title word
- rednaxela825, on 07/10/2009, -1/+13Reminds me of how so many games had "64" attatched at the end of the name on the Nintendo 64. (Super Mario 64, Star Fox 64, etc.)
- suntzusputnik, on 07/10/2009, -0/+11well, that's the problem, there's 4 pages when it should have been 1
- 13att13, on 07/10/2009, -1/+11The Dawn of the Shadow of Eternal Party War: Unleashed
Super Mario's Space Age Command of Darkness Blade Heroes
The Red Star of Dead World Legends: Origins - digggggggggg, on 07/10/2009, -2/+12Red Shadow Space Star: Super Unleashed War World
That actually sounds like a plausible name for a game. - ZombieSociety, on 07/10/2009, -2/+12"The."
- piieerrrree, on 07/10/2009, -1/+10not listed: Definition, Video game definition, and Usage. To be found in the boring article.
- zoffdino, on 07/10/2009, -1/+10The article forgot two: 'return' and 'revenge', which technically means the same things in the game world.
If a game have sequels, somewhere in version 2, 3 or 4, return or revenge is bound to show up. - ghostrc, on 07/10/2009, -0/+8complete list:
http://www.giantbomb.com/game-64/92-1282/games/ - piieerrrree, on 07/10/2009, -0/+8... Nooo, I replied to my own post and made the list longer.
This way, no one has to scroll through these really long (and boring) comments to read the ones further down (unless they collapse all, but they can undo that easily).
And there're some things I didn't list, so someone could one-up me if they do see fit. - bci84, on 07/10/2009, -0/+8Madden?
- emjaymj, on 07/10/2009, -0/+8I love how they neglected to mention Eternal Darkness in both the "Eternal" and "Darkness" categories.
- suntzusputnik, on 07/10/2009, -2/+9final fantasy
- yacks, on 07/10/2009, -0/+7I meh the meh.
- Dugglous, on 07/10/2009, -0/+7Also, ______ Advance and ______ DS.
It's like a reminder of system requirement. - suntzusputnik, on 07/10/2009, -2/+9also 'super' from the days of the super nintendo
- Evocati, on 07/10/2009, -0/+7Same thing with the Super ____ games.
- Setsuka13, on 07/10/2009, -1/+8Oh and let us not forget 'Dynasty" and 'Warriors'.
- SoulGrub, on 07/10/2009, -2/+8Sim?
- Khast, on 07/10/2009, -1/+7True as it may be, Mario may be overused....
But seriously, if Nintendo created games without Mario...you'd have Luigi, Wario, Yoshi, Toad, Princess, ect... The spinoff games may have been decent, but usually the games based on Mario were much better. (With exception of Yoshi's Island : Super Mario World 2.) - inactive, on 07/10/2009, -1/+7Shadow of the red space war party: origins
- merreborn, on 07/10/2009, -0/+6http://www.aolcdn.com/ch_gamedaily/robin_bio.jpg
meh. - merreborn, on 07/10/2009, -0/+6...Because there are so many game companies named Nintendo?
- linksus, on 07/10/2009, -0/+5So they just took a list of popular games , taken the first word and said its over used.
Could be that its overused for a reason?
Calling age of empires "Control ye olde stuff with your mouse 3" would of probably not sold as much. - ace429k, on 07/10/2009, -1/+6what about Kane. Its the most over used bad guy name.
- po43292, on 07/10/2009, -2/+7Super Mario is an excellent example of racism in video games.
Super Monkey Ball is an excellent example of animal cruelty in video games.
Never thought of it that way. - robinyang, on 07/10/2009, -1/+5i second the 'meh.'
:P - AlDaTbagsNChina, on 07/10/2009, -0/+4No "Extreme" or "X-Treme"
- jfield1, on 07/10/2009, -0/+4A: Your mom's.
- emjaymj, on 07/10/2009, -0/+4What about the word Madden? I've seen that in at least 20 titles.
- uberduger, on 07/10/2009, -0/+4ails."
(I wrote this on the offchance that someone called Theo will read this comment thread. Sorry, Theo.) - dominator1989, on 07/10/2009, -0/+4I think he may be talking about multiple paged articles ;) !!
- laofmoonster, on 07/10/2009, -0/+4"of"
- meimeimei, on 07/10/2009, -0/+3They missed out 'X'
- dekuscrub, on 07/10/2009, -0/+3"Underground" seems to be one of the latest overused words IMO.
Tony Hawk Underground
Need for Speed Underground
Medal of Honor Underground - sh0rtstop00, on 07/10/2009, -0/+3mario cracks me up
- yacks, on 07/10/2009, -3/+6Dugg for the small picture of the woman who wrote the article at the end..
- piieerrrree, on 07/10/2009, -0/+3emjaymj: They might have been mentioned in the "Usage" parts of the boring article.
- emjaymj, on 07/10/2009, -0/+3Does Deckard Cain count?
- uberduger, on 07/10/2009, -0/+3Now I'm stuck with the tough choice - do I digg for the link or bury for the 'Meh'?
.
..
...
Ah, I'll digg. She's cute. - edcrosay, on 07/10/2009, -0/+3Just like Star Wars trilogies.
- architerp, on 07/10/2009, -0/+3Remember when all the N64 games had "64" in the title?
- canthraxp, on 07/11/2009, -0/+3"Red"? Really? A color is a common word? Human race is *****.
- kalikachrisp, on 07/10/2009, -0/+3Hot ;)
- emjaymj, on 07/10/2009, -1/+4You have to wonder if Nintendo thinks (knows?) that the only reason most of their games sell is because it has Nintendo and Mario (or one of their other big franchises) plastered on the cover."
No, their games sell because they are polished and ridiculously fun to play. Having his face plastered on the cover just makes it easier to ignore all the crap when you're in the store looking for it. -
