Teed off over Tiger
I have a love/hate relationship with Tiger Woods. No, not the man himself. It's the series of golf video games that have been made in his name lately. The latest offering is full of more bugs than you can shake a club at.
But what's worse, he's out there pitching this game oblivious (I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt here) to all the problems it's having.
Just released last week, the $60 game for the Xbox 360 promised to be a pretty cool addition to the franchise, what with the ability to customize your character's face by uploading a photo of your own. Had me hooked.
But so far, no dice.
"Thanks to a crash bug and features that don't work well or don't work at all, Tiger Woods 08 on the Xbox 360 is a big disappointment," Gamespot.com writes in its review of the game.
Gamers are also expressing their frustrations on the Xbox message board.
What's more disappointing is, thanks to a policy I'm sure is common among retailers, you can't return this game for something else or even get your money back if you've opened it, even if it's defective. Fool me once? Shame on me. Fool me twice? Guilty as charged.
EA is promising to patch the bugs, so let's hope so.
So I vent more about this in today's GameBuzz show, plus we talk about Halo 3. You might have heard of it.
