Why doesn't the US get any games?

Why do Japan and Europe get all the games, and America gets nothing except Mario crap?

Claiming Fox News has real journalists is like claiming Twilight has real vampires, it's just illogical.

Because we surely don't get Halo, Half-Life, Final Fantasy, Resident Evil, Tom Clancy's games (Rainbow Six, Ghost Recon, Splinter Cell, etc), Call of Duty, Grand Theft Auto, Devil May Cry, Street Fighter, anything from BioWare, Metroid, Unreal Tournament, Doom, Quake, Far Cry, Fallout, Metal Gear, Prince of Persia, or Resistance in America...

I skipped Sonic because that has been going downhill quite fast, Transformers because it's only had one really good game, any sports game because they're sports games, and the Sims because...well I just don't like the Sims.

I think God Thundercracker is confusing the US with Europe; Europe is the continent that gets the shaft in terms of gaming.

Or he is just trying to piss-off people who like Nintendo again.

Well, he does that anyway.

But he didn't say "Nintendo crap" he said "Mario Crap," which I find strange because so far Super Mario Galaxy has been millions of time for satisfying than any Halo game. For example, I didn't beat Super Mario Galaxy in one afternoon. (It's been five months I just passed the 75% mark)

But really, God Thundercracker's main problem is that he doesn't realize that "kid-friendly" and "good" aren't mutually exclusive.

Yup. Here are two game I'm after at the moment that are out in the US but aren't out until the end of May and mid June respectively. Guitar Hero: Metallica and Star Ocean 4.

Plus how can anyone say Europe gets games first when Chrono Trigger took a ridiculous 13 years after its original US release to come out in Europe.
