SeekerBomberman Act: Zero
Konami's new attempt to bring Bomberman to life in the next generation is, at least in my humble opinion, an unqualified failure. While the old-school Bombermans -- specifically Super Bomberman and Saturn Bomberman -- had their fair share of weaknesses, flaws, and were indeed getting old, this new mess isn't the answer. The key to Bomberman is keeping it simple. There was absolutely nothing wrong with the cute, super-deformed little bomb thrower as a multiplayer game nor was the character design an issue. There is everything wrong with this new version in all regards.
