Can Americans even make good video games?

summer · 05.02.2009, 12:36 AM

All I can think of is like, uh, Metroid Prime. I'm not into western style RPGs, so that's totally discounted.
I'd really love to know some more, though.

EVOLghost · 05.02.2009, 03:29 AM

not really...no..

ZEROpumpkins · 05.02.2009, 07:45 AM

Hey guys, what's going on in here?

atsonicpark · 05.02.2009, 07:52 AM

the answer is no.

demonrail666 · 05.02.2009, 08:45 AM

I've never thought of it like that but yeah, it does seem like there's a bit of a lack of good US made video games. Weird.

Fuck yeah.

That's probably true that there aren't very many good US console games. But there are a ton of great PC ones. Most Blizzard games, X-COM, Pretty much all the Lucasarts adventure games, Star Control II, Deus Ex.

Ah, I just remembered Zombies Ate My Neighbors, developed by Lucasarts, that game is pretty hot.

But yeah, on the PC market, that's where America shines, on the console market, yeah I guess you're right.

Man, Grim Fandango, one of the best games ever.

The first Fallout is a good one too. And NBA Jam.

Ouch, my mistake. I was thinking of Microprose when I thought about X-COM.
