 The Monday letters page wishes that Nintendo would buy Sega Sammy, as one reader is unsurprised to hear about the death of Hyenas. To join in with the discussions yourself email gamecentral@metro.co.uk Good advert I've been playing Starfield on Game Pass this weekend and I think I've had enough already. It really is the text book definition of 'fine.' Nothing about it is terrible and yet nothing about it is great either. There's very little about it that's even good, if I'm honest, with the best bits probably being the starship construction and the variety of weapons. It's ironic that the game people have got most angry about this year is the one that, under normal circumstances, it'd be almost impossible to have a strong opinion about. And yet still it probably counts as the biggest disappointment of the year, simply because it's so far from what the hype was suggesting about it. Personally, it's well below my personal expectations. When I look back to things like Frontier: Elite 2, and see what games like that did compared to a brand new modern game with a huge budget behind it, it's shocking really, at the lack of ambition and technical advancement. In a way it is a good advertisement for Game Pass though, in that if I'd paid money for Starfield I'd have been very upset. With Game Pass though I'm just disappointed and ready to quickly move on. Fambe Fine, I'll do it myself With all the talk of Microsoft sniffing around, wanting to buy new publishers, and both them and Sony interested in Square Enix, I do wish Nintendo would finally make fans' dreams come true and buy Sega. As a former Mega Drive owner I know this is a complete betrayal of everything I ever argued in the playground but I think Nintendo are the only ones that could do Sonic justice and who would be interested and capable of bringing back the classic franchises. I know this isn't the way Nintendo like to act, especially){kind=link}
