Point / Counterpoint: Animal Crossing is the most depressing game ever

While many have praised both the Gamecube and Nintendo DS version of Animal Crossing as innovative, amusing and at times genius Cranky Gamers has a different take. The article is funny with a real point, a world with vapid animals and nothing to do but collect trinkets is depressing. Here’s an excerpt: “Animal Crossing is a philosophy. It’s preaching that life is nothing but a bunch of work for pointless trinkets, just so you can survive and interact with other people, all of whom are frauds anyway who don’t give a damn about what you say. And it doesn’t end until you decide to stop playing.”
