Tiny Diggers – An iPad Construction Truck Game for Kids Age 2-5

CheapyD commits what some may call a bit of heresy during CAGCast #58 when he asks a question many fanboys won’t particularly like. He asks if Legend of Zelda was called the Legend of Frank and was by a different developer, would it be getting the 95% scores that Twilight Princess has gotten? He says no. He likes Oblivion better and feels it’s a bigger achievement than Twilight Princess. He claims the name Zelda alone adds at least a whole point to a review.

He cites a number of other titles that are often compared to Zelda but don’t get enough respect. He mentions Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy, which a friend of mine enjoyed playing with his kids no less, and Beyond Good And Evil which got critical acclaim but didn’t sell enough to keep the property from perishing.

Is Zelda overrated? While the property is much-loved, is the gameplay overdone? From what I’ve heard it’s so well done and refined in Twilight Princess that there really aren’t any complaints about over-use of the same gameplay mechanics.

Oh and for a special treat, listen all the way to the end for the content that closes the podcast. I’d forgotten all about the particular item.
