This one came a long way. I'm an active open source supporter, and I probably intend to stay that way for quite a while, but I finally came to realize that open source is sometime a very bad thing. But let me explain before you start throwing tomatoes at me.

This isn't the first time people ask me why I think Android is badly designed, and I guess it's time for me to explain it now.

Well, don't get me wrong: I own an Android-based phone, and I'd rather kiss Bill Gate's ass than buying an iPhone. I guess I don't have to explain much why. I think that when you own hardware, you should have the right to do whatever you want with it, including running any kind of application you'd like. Apple's policies are just not something I can support. Nonetheless, iPhones are way better than Android-based phones. Here's why I think this.

I don't pretend I'm a very good gamer. Well, I ain't bad either, but I'm not a hardcode gamer. Doing the review of a game on a gameplay point of view is probably risky, and there's people out there who probably know way better than me.

But sometime game design failures are so flagrant that even a newbie like me in game design can spot them and would probably not have committed these mistakes. Or at least, I hope I wouldn't have. One recent case to me is Prototype, a nice game which is still plagued with some horrible game design decisions, especially control-wise. Another recent game, and that's the one I'm going to talk about today, is Sonic Unleashed.
