Cutesy wootsy games give me a rash.  It's not because they're typically
nonviolent, I don't have a problem with that.  Rather, because the artistic
style is so often homogenous.  It's like if it isn't gonna be violent, it
has to be Sesame Street, and the same kind of Sesame Street that everyone
else does.  Don't get me wrong, I love Sesame Street, but not all the bloody
time!  It's like some a.shole at Walmart decreed, "Thou Shalt Make Harmless,
Innocuous, Inoffensive, Unthreatening, Dumbed Down Games."

Ok, who else wants to rant about cutesy wootsy games?  Name the ones that
disgust you the most!

I don't buy "cutesy wootsy" games. You shouldn't either. Buy
"Universal Combat" if you want  a real man's game.

LOOM!
May it burn in the lowest recesses of gaming hell until all memory of
Lucasart has faded from the face of the earth!

The Sims can burn and die. Give the Sims some guns and bad attitudes and
then we might have something.

  You hate The Sims?

 That is one of the coolest games ever, especially with the Unleashed
expansion pack.

 I only wish your Sims could have "credit", credit cards, bank loans, etc.
That way you could buy more stuff.  In real life people can buy more than
they have in cash (one thing you can do is buy up art, it appreciates over
time, in the game).

 I install burglar alarms in my houses early in the game . When the robber
comes, the Sims get some reward money.

I like Ghostmaster.  You can light people on fire!  and electrocute them,
and all sorts of bad stuff.

I wouldn't mind having a game with cutesy wootsy characters paraded in front
of me all the time, just as long as I get to kill them all in cruel and
unusual ways. but personally I have managed to avoid any games that are
designed too cute, except the original Sims, and that lasted a week before I
uninstalled it. and it was only the nude patch that kept me that long.

Computers are machines to help you solve problems you wouldn't have if
you didn't have a computer.

Actually I don't mind them.  Finished Voodoo Vince on the XB not too
long back and it was fun to play.
