Another article by Donny Clay.
I finally bought a gamecube. To bad they don't make any games for it now.

I'd think Final Bout is an important title, seeing as how it was the first Dragon Ball game released over here. (Not counting Dragon Power) I also like how Donny Clay thinks Sagas is an important title, but not Super DBZ. Then again, it did teach Atari to stop making their own DBZ games, so maybe it was an important title in the series. :lol:

Last time I checked, Dragon Ball Z was not a game series.

And "key titles" my ass. There were Dragonball games before Budokai.

I liked it. I haven't bought a DBZ game since Budokai 3, and I still love that game (Have yet to get everything). For some reason, the Sparking series put me off, I think it was the more dynamic game play, and being a casual gamer, I wasn't into the idea of having to learn to control a much tougher way of fighting. Though I heard it was smoother for the sequels.
I love humans, always seeing patterns in things that aren't there.

I saw this earlier and I had a one word review for it:

"Lame!"
Battle High 2, starring Kyle Hebert as well as myself, has been released on Xbox 360, OUYA, PC, Linux, Mac, and Xbox One!

I still think Donny is just a glorified spokesperson will no real input in any of the games.
The series doesn't start with the arrival of Raditz. Stop being lazy and watch Dragonball.

Thats exactly what he is, even if he was the head honcho over at Atari, he would have absolutely nothing to do with the games.

They are made in Japan, and Atari has absolutely nothing to do with them, until the games are finished.

I'm pretty sure Atari outsources the translation and English dialog to another company, so yes, Donny Clay is a puppet who likes to pretend he can pull some strings :roll:

They're hyping up their status, this doesn't happen for them in Japan, I'm sure.
