Chris Kohler over at the Wired gaming blog had several unkind things to say about Genji: Days of the Blade, one of the PS3's few original launch titles. The game is plagued by a crappy camera, off-screen objectives, and at least one bug that could completely screw up your day.

But even that wasn't so bad when you compare it to the fact that I didn't know what to do next, and I wasn't finding anything because there was nothing to find. So it was back to GameFAQs' board, but this time there was no solution. Just confirmation that there was supposed to be an item for me to pick up, but due to a glitch in the game it disappears after a certain point. And of course, I'd been diligent and saved my game, meaning I was completely screwed. I'd have to start the game over.

Kudos to Chris for getting that far. I got bored and moved on to something else before even reaching that point. Too many potentially great launch games on two different systems to waste time not enjoying myself. Besides, why should I have to finish the game if Sony didn't? Michael Fahey
