The Definition of Console Taint

Console taint is a term that was coined to describe video game titles, that are released for both PC and video game consoles, that lack a certain degree of sophistication that PC gamers are used to. This could be anything from lack of standard features (e.g. quicksave), strange defaults (e.g. autoaim on by default in a FPS), minimal options, strange options for PC games, game mechanic simplifications, etc.

I’ll review games I thought were worthy of the dubious distinction of being tainted.

Stay tuned.

Blog Launch

This blog was created because there was a lot of frustrations which shooting squirrels and taking candy from babies couldn’t relieve. An outlet was needed to vent on various things about gaming specifically, but also other things as needed. I guess in time it might become more mellow, but right now there is much musing to be had by criticizing others.

A couple of other things will be thrown into the mix but it’s mainly an outlet for various things in gaming we feel are taking the wrong direction. Along with it will be some words on upcoming games as well as thoughts on rumors circulating about. If nothing else, you should stick around to read up on our ignorance and general intolerance of modern American video gaming. Maybe along the way I’ll also discover why the second space I put after a period apparently disappears when the post is published.
