It's interesting how, in this age of advanced gaming technology, we arm ourselves with portable systems and smartphones only to buy the same simple-looking, merciless games that made us bleed and cry in the age of the Commodore 64. Of course, there's a reason for that: sometimes it feels good to get flogged by a game. It's like being pushed over and laughed at by a bully. We stagger to our feet because, man, we gotta prove something.
