The Wednesday letters page wishes that Xbox and PlayStation made more use of motion controls, as one reader imagines a Nintendo+ service.

Award loser A friend brought up the Saints Row reboot the other day and was somehow surprised that I had no interest in it and was completely unaware of the reviews and the fact that it wasn’t much of a hit. It always amazes me how some people who think of themselves as gamers don’t really seem to follow what’s going on at all.

Which then got me to thinking, is Saints Row the worst game of 2022? Although I’m sure it’s worth mentioning in conversation it doesn’t seem that way to me. But then I take notice of reviews, so I haven’t bought anything bad to know first-hand.

But if it’s not Saints Row what is it? Ghostwire: Tokyo maybe? That looked pretty bad and it’s surprising since it was big budget and from a fairly respected developer. Or speaking of, what about Babylon’s Fall by PlatinumGames? Never played it and since it’s being shut down next year, I guess I never will.

Overall, it might not have been a good year for good games, but it does seem as if it was a bad year for bad games, in a good way. If you know what I mean. What does GC think?Gadfly

GC: It’s Babylon’s Fall for us, that game is shockingly poor on every level.

One more rumour I noticed GC didn’t bother reporting the Silent Hill story about the movie director saying there were several games in development and basically confirming all the rumours about remakes, sequels, and spin-offs. I imagine it was because there wasn’t really any new information, but I do think this is the closest we’ve had to proof so far, since the guy should know what he’s talking about.
