3. Indigo Prophecy/Fahrenheit (EU)
And here we have yet another game developer whod rather break bread with Spielberg than Shigeru Miyamoto. I personally regard David Cage as something of a toxic influence on the videogame industry, an argument outlined beautifully by
this gentleman. Ironically, Cage is an outspoken critic of the immaturity of videogame storytelling. What he neglects to mention is that his own opus contains a storyline so patently ridiculous it reads like someone threw a bunch of pulp sci-fi novels in a blender, scattered the page fragments on the floor and built a plot around the random arrangement of words and phrases. From a promising introductory sequence, the game rapidly degenerates into every science-fiction cliché, incorporating Mayan mythology, Matrix-style superpowers and a child saviour. However, nothing quite tops bit where the internet goes sentient and tries to take over the world. Citizen Kane, it aint.
