Contrary to what Justin might think, I do understand Morpeus1's point. He doesn't like handhelds. I see that. And yet, he thinks the N-Gage games are more appealing. Saying that something sucks but is in some way better than the rest is a back-handed compliment, by the way.

What I am questioning (fine, you can call it attacking if you want) is Morpheus1's basis for saying that the N-Gage games are more appealing to him than the GBA's. He says so right here:

He might think N-Gage and GBA games suck, but apparently N-Gage games suck less.

Or have I got it all wrong? I'll happily stand corrected if that isn't what Morpheus1 is saying. But as far as I can tell, Morpheus1 doesn't like handhelds but still thinks N-Gage games are more interesting to him just because of the graphics. Maybe he has other reasons, but in multiple posts, he hasn't named them. If he thinks N-Gage games are more appealing because he thinks the gameplay possibilities offered by the N-Gage are better than those offered by the GBA, then fine. I respect that. If he just likes Tomb Raider better than Mario, then I respect that too. But once again, he hasn't given any indication that his preference is based on anything other than graphics.

And by the way, Morpheus1 is free to contradict review scores if he wants to. But if he hasn't played the actual games, I don't think he's in a position to disagree with reviewers who have.

So go ahead, Morpheus1. Name some reason other than graphics that you think N-Gage games, despite sucking, are more interesting to you than GBA games. That's all I've been wanting you to do because contrary to what it may seem like, I don't want you to be labeled a graphics whore. I am hoping graphics isn't the only reason you have. Maybe you also like Bluetooth. The moment you come up with something is the moment I get off your case and we all can have a productive conversation again.
