Gaming's Biggest Bandwagons.

Bandwagons are present in almost all forms of entertainment, from film, comic books, sports, and even games. Lets take a look at gaming's biggest bandwagons.


Wii Hate.

When the Wii was announced the gaming world was shocked. That early shocked didn't seem to last. Try mentioning that you own and enjoy playing with the Nintendo Wii on the internet and witness the bandwagon first hand. When a Wii game is well received someone is bound to say "time to dust it off". Isn't interesting that the same people keep claiming that their Wii's are gathering dust, where is all this dust coming from? The saying is getting old, and it is even more irritating when "professional" gaming journalist use the term- it makes you sound wagon rider. The wagon riding doesnt end there. When an interesting Wii game is revealed immediately someone is asking for a port, claiming there isn't anything on the system to warrant a buy. Irony?


Can't Spell Ignorant without IGN.

Ok we get it. Your favorite game received .5 less then you wanted, therefore the only reasonable explanation is there is a grand conspiracy to make sure your favorite company gets the short hand of the stick. Clearly X company is paying X reviewers.




Motion Controllers

Remember all that Wii hate that was discussed earlier. Get ready for the Biggest bandwagon. Waggle ruined this game, motion controls are for kids, DS3/360 controller is the best no need for motions, its all just gimmicks. Then Move and Kinect showed up and everyone had an epiphany motion controls are cool.

Sonic Sucks.


Remember those golden days when Sonic games were good? Everyone seems to hate the blue guy these days. Anyone who wanted a good Sonic fix would have found it had they actually got off the bandwagon and pick these titles up.
