Every year, dozens upon dozens of games are released, both for consoles and for computers. Most of the time, AAA titles and the highest rated games receive the majority of the attention and low budget and low quality games go by unnoticed by most. Sometimes though, games that deserve their fair share of time in the spotlight get pushed aside and get lost amid the sea of failed video games. As for what makes these games slip into obscurity, it varies from situation to situation. Sometimes, sales are ruined because of bad marketing, or selling to the wrong demographic. Other times a game is doomed by a bad release time or even a faulty review.
My name is Sean Johnson and I'm here to talk about a few of those games and why they failed so horribly. I'm currently studying game design in college so while I may not be the undisputed expert on all things related to gaming, I do recognize a well-made game when I see one. With any luck, I'll manage to convince you to actively seek out more obscure games or maybe even get you to play the games I'll be talking about on this blog. Either way you would be supporting the men and women who worked so hard to produce quality entertainment.
Until next time.
