The honest-to-goodness last Mirror's Edge post until the next one
Okay, the Mirror's Edge review is up now at thephoenix.com, and that really is the last I will have to say about it. Until the post about the worst games of the year, I suppose.
Thinking about this whole thing has been giving me horrible Mass Effect flashbacks. You may remember that I couldn't stand that game, in contrast to the many critics who teamed up to give it a Metacritic score of 91. That, too, was a game that somehow kept coming up in conversation over and over again -- a game I couldn't seem to wash my hands of, no matter how hard I tried. Part of me didn't even really want to. Buried somewhere deep inside there had to be the game everybody else liked, and I wanted to play that game. Alas, I never found it in Mass Effect, and, tempting new DLC or no, I won't be trying to find it in Mirror's Edge.

It happens to all of us... I still have a miserable time trying to enjoy GOTY: Oblivion.
(Should we refer to previous GOTY picks as GOTY even after their time has past like we do for American Presidents? I sometimes have a problem with that. Especially with Bill and Oblivion)
Ah, Oblivion. There's a game I wasn't playing for review, put three hours into, and was quite comfortable saying: "Eh, not for me."
I think we should do that, especially to remind ourselves of our past horrible GOTY picks.
hmmm this post is about the game I have found most frustrating in 2008 that alot of other people liked, and Mass Effect was the game I found most frustrating in 2007 that almost everyone else liked. Get out of my head!
