No Going Back

I don't know what I was thinking, but I picked up WWE Smackdown: Here Comes The Pain again yesterday. I guess I was remembering how much fun I had with the game back in the day and after having some issues with the last year's game, I felt a little nostalgic I suppose.

Well as the title may imply, I think I should have just stuck to the good memories.

This game has not aged well at all and it has gotten to the point where I am even questioning myself on how I found this fun in the first place.

But I guess it is like having a PC running Windows 7, then dropping back down to Windows 95. I mean you get used to all the little extra changes and such, then to take it all away does indeed leave a huge hole. I don't know about the rest of the world, but I know that sort of drop would be the ever loving s*it out of me.

About the only thing real positive thing that I came away from having this game again is to see how some of my created wrestlers have evolved over the years. I have carried a couple of them through the years and it is amazing to see how deformed and weird they look.

What game will I try to replay next? Well I still do have all three PS1-era Final Fantasy games on my PS3. Admittedly, Final Fantasy 9 looks the best as far as graphics and appearances are concerned. But I think I may actually play through them all one of these days soon...

I think it'll be a better experience then the one I just had with this game.
