My 3 Most Annoying (PC) Gaming Moments of 2007

Looking back in my gaming moments in 2007 I had a lot of good memories (Half Life 2: EP2, Psychonauts). Things weren’t all golden though, and here’s why:

Bioshock’s Hacking Minigame Bioshock is an amazing game. The atmosphere, the story, the action, all dandy. However, all of these get shat upon once I have to do another hacking minigame.

No seriously, you’re there in this scary world filled with evil little girls, big men in diving suits and lunatic citizens and it ALL waits for you as you connect water tubes.

In the beginning I guess the mini-game can be a little fun, because you don’t know it much. But after the 234th time you solve it, having powers to slow it down (freezing or through those level up thingies), you feel completely retarded.


Big Daddy: It’s okay dude, we’ll just wait here while you fix that turret.

Crysis I may be the only person in the world who doesn’t think Crysis is fun nor pretty. 2 Hours into this game and I realized that the fore-mentioned Bioshock mini-game was less annoying. Let’s not even mentioning setting my computer on fire by running this shit on medium.

Call of Duty 4 (SP) Yeah whatever, you probably loved this game. I really really don’t get what’s so great about this game. If anyone hasn’t played any Call of Duty games before, I’ll run it down for you:

  • There’s a million enemies and a million allies who won’t stop shooting each other, not even to have some tea.
  • 20 Minutes in the game however, you noticed that you can end the battle, by running like a mother fucker towards the enemy. This seems to make them scared of how much of a crazy dumbass you are and the shooting stops.
  • Repeat the above step until you’ve finished the game, go you big boy.

This was made worse after the first Call of Duty game because all you need to do is hide to get all your health back. So you run, run, hide, win. This process is repeated by Call of Duty 4, except now they have shiny new graphics with shiny new scripted scene for those who give a shit about this hollywood style action game.


One more mile and this war is over!

I guess this game isn’t annoying if you’re either a marathon runner or just love cheap action scenes. But this is my opinion, jerk.
