  What's so great about this???

  by: zhoward1992 on 29-Jun-2008 04:23:46 PM

  Pros: It is free...

  Cons: but it seems more like a kid game, the guns are stupid and they make funny noises when u shoot them. Also the graphics aren't that great

  Kick A__ Free Full Free Game

  Pros: What's so GOOD about this? Its FULL. It's Free. It has a community, it's FAST, looks good, and even runs great on my NON-Gamer system. It ROCKS. It's nto complicated, it RUNS... GREAT. It is SIMPLE to set up... ALL of the options are WELL placed and easy to access. The CHAT ROOM aqssigned to the game is filled with HELPFUL players.- THAT is what is great about it... Which is a lot mroe substantive than, saying "This sucks"

  Cons: What's so BAD about it? Whats BAD about it are the little snot-nosed "self-appointed-Gaming Expert Reviewers" on CNET that are scragging this thing, having NO respect for someone's WORK, and who also have no computer skills to think of other than playing games (as opposed to creating them) and their basic life skill is spending the TRUST FUND money they got from mummy and daddy on $3,000 gaming computers and Lil HONDAS and stuff. THAT is what's bad about this. These people are not QUALIFIED to tell me how BAD this thing is, but I am utterly qualified to tell them where to go, EH?
