lo peor de 5 obras maestras

Por supuesto, y como ya dije, la palma se la lleva el maldito caparazon azul .

The best parts: Red shells; green shells; mushrooms; bananas; stars.
The WORST part: BLUE SHELL
You're in first place. You've nailed every curve, dodged every obstacle, capitalized on every power up and kept every other racer firmly in your rearview mirror. You haven't committed a single mistake in three straight laps. You're perfect... but, in the world of Mario Kart, you're the most vulnerable player on the track.
Why? Because the blue shell is waiting... waiting to utterly obliterate every ounce of your hard work in one infuriating instant. The blue shell is more than an item that automatically targets the racer in first place. The blue shell is an item that punishes winners, while giving an unearned advantage to losers. The blue shell is an item that favors random luck over practice and skill. The blue shell is Nintendo at its worst, emphasizing dumbed-down family fun with Little Timmy and Grandpa over honest-to-goodness gaming.

Seriously, what other title penalizes you for doing well? What other life experience teaches you that being the best... is bad? What if Mario Kart's twisted logic was applied to any other competition? The idea is ludicrous:







Dishonorable mention: What's worse than being done in at the last minute by a spiny winged turtle appendage? Try losing because the AI magically erased the distance between you and your computer opponents. Rubber banding blows.

en el futuro hay que acelerar un poco los ascensores

The best parts: Cinematic production values; a breathtaking yet believable universe; immersive character customization; mature storytelling with moral significance; plus, badass aliens.
The WORST part:




Yeah. The slooooooow elevators in Mass Effect have become a bit of an internet joke in the past several months, but no amount of humor or excuses (loading?) can make us forget what we lost in those boring metal boxes. Our time. Our energy. Our brain cells. Our will to live.
The rest of the game was definitely worth the wait... but that doesn't mean we have to forgive the wait itself. If man can travel across the vast reaches of space in an instant, why can't he do the same between floors? Or at least take the stairs?
Dishonorable mention: In all honesty, Mass Effect's hopelessly clunky and seemingly half-finished inventory system is worse than the elevator rides... but we barely understood it enough to finish the game, let alone to write a paragraph about it now. (And yes, we know that both problems were more or less corrected for the PC version. Have a cookie.)

En este juego hasta lo malo es bueno

The best parts: Captivating fairy-tale adventure; timeless gameplay; iconic heroes, heroines and villains; challenging dungeons and puzzles; an unforgettable aura of innocence and imagination.
The WORST part: WATER
How, you ask, could a franchise as established and worshipped as The Legend of Zelda possibly have a flaw? And, even if the series did suffer from some irritating imperfection, how could that imperfection possibly be something as simple and harmless as... water?
We don't know, but look at the evidence:

• The most controversial and polarizing of all Zelda games, Wind Waker, just happens to be the first Zelda game set entirely on or around water. Many fans hated the world's new look as much as they hated Link's new look.
• Even folks who dug the changed art style couldn't stand the changed mode of transportation. Sailing across the water in Wind Waker is a tiresome pain. Too much blue...

• Want to get out of the boat and do some swimming? Link "drowns" within a minute. In other games, he's hurt instantly. The kid can defeat Ganon a thousand times over, but he can't swim?
• The most hated level of any Zelda game - perhaps of any game ever - is Ocarina of Time's Water Temple. We've had nightmares about that place...

• Yet the Water Temple is really pretty horrible no matter what Zelda you're playing. The phrase "water temple" has become geek slang, synonymous with "hellhole," "virtually impossible to solve," and "the equivalent of a complete rectal examination." Seriously, look it up in the dictionary.
• The fishing minigames are always the most dull and pointless.

Case closed. Like a cat, toaster or Gremlin, you DO NOT want to put The Legend of Zelda franchise near water. Bad shit is bound to happen.

Dishonorable mention: Tingle. What an asshole.

The best parts: Mind-boggling attention to detail; groundbreaking realism; fantastic mission design; authentic characters; eclectic soundtrack; infinite replay value.
The WORST part: SOCIALIZING
Don't get us wrong - we love Roman. He's like digital family. Little Jacob, Dwayne, Packie? They're awesome. And we adore Brucie. The activities you meet these friends for can be pretty fun, too. Darts and pool are surprisingly realistic for minigames, the effects of drinking are hilarious ("Hey! Yellow car!") and causing mayhem at the strip club never grows old.
At some point, however, we just want to play the damn game. We want to finish the missions. We want to watch the story unfold. We want to make some infinitesimal sliver of progress after losing hours of our lives to bowling, juggling, cabaret singing and eating buckets of Cluckin Bell fried chicken. We want to effing shoot something!
But these jerks won't let us, calling and demanding our precious time between every single mission. Say "no" and you're penalized. Say "yes" and you may very well spend more time with these whiny bitches than you do with your real friends and family. The social system in GTA IV is more than distracting. It's exhausting.

Dishonorable mention: The radio stations in GTA IV are amazing, as always. The television stations? Not so much. The series' humor has never been subtle, of course, but that became painfully obvious with the addition of visuals. Plus, turning on your TV to watch a fictional character watch his TV is kinda depressing.


Anot

A partir de que salieran estos sacos mocosos, halo ya no levanto cabeza.

The best parts: Epic sci-fi campaign; overwhelmingly addictive multiplayer; larger than life heroes; smart enemies; imaginative weapons and vehicles; expansive environments; simple yet sophisticated combat.
The WORST part: THE FLOOD
The first two-thirds of the original Halo are a revelation. After years of being trapped in dark, linear passages, fighting endless swarms of repetitive enemies with uninspired weaponry, we were finally set free.
Now, we had beaches, mountains, valleys and soaring alien towers to run and leap across. Now, we had jeeps, tanks, helicopters and extraterrestrial hovercraft with which to cover vast swaths of ground and sky. Now, we had a diverse set of enemies who could not only think and talk, but almost inspire sympathy at times. Now, we had crazily inventive guns shooting ammunition in all the colors of the rainbow.
And then... then, we had the Flood. Suddenly, we were stumbling through a never ending series of murky hallways, each of which looked exactly like the one before. Suddenly, we were waging war against an army of videogame clichés - slowly shuffling, brain dead zombies. Suddenly, we were relying on the dullest and most predictable weapon in our arsenal, a shotgun. Suddenly, we were bored.


The Flood are the antithesis of everything that is new and unique about Halo. Unsurprisingly, they're also responsible for the absolute worst levels in the trilogy's history - "The Library" in Halo 1 and "Cortana" in Halo 3. Pure torture.

Sigh...

Dishonorable mention: We thought about choosing the Halo games' endings for this section, but then thought, "What endings?"
