they missed out on a big one, in my opinion.....Shenmue II.
After all those crate carrying mini-games, it's enough to make anyone sick of seeing them.

This is like the most pointless project ever. Crates and barrels are as common as trees in games.

Where else are the baddies going to stock on snacks and weapons of mass destruction? Crates
Where are they going to put gasoline at strategic points for the player to blow them up with in? Barrels

I swear, crates and barrels are the most cliched item EVER in videogames, but I cant imagine a game without them.

anyone remeber the old Crate Review System?

http://www.oldmanmurray.com/features/39.html

"Games can be rated and compared based on the shortest amount of time it takes a player to reach the first crate, which represents the point where the developers ran out of ideas. This number is measured in seconds and is called "Start to Crate" or "StC". The smaller the StC, the worse the game."
