"The Future Of Video Games Has Come And Gone!!"

Computer games are going backwards, and about time too!! For the past four or five years we have been playing the same games over and over again with little in the way of care for quality, playability and (dare I say it?) FUN!! We are constantly still being harrassed over whose console is better, mine does this, mine does that, who cares?? What needs to be considered is why people play games. The answer will be the same as why the game boy has lasted ten years and pokemon has become the single largest franchise in gaming history. What is it I hear you ask?? Attention to detail. And before anyone harks on about graphics and visual detail, I couldn't care less. Can the gameboy produce 3d models made up of 50k polygons, mm, no. How many people 16+ can say that their best game playing times were spent playing a spectrum or C64, these people will probably remember the early incarnation sof the dizzy series (proof that sequals do not have to be identical to thier predecessor). What the gaming industry needs for the future is not to return to it's roots as such but to at least look back at where it came from. I currently own a PS2 and have noticed that this has already begun, ZOE, Kessen, Starfighter and Timesplitters have something which has been missing for some time. These games creat that little feeling inside that makes you forget what time of the morning it is, even though you've got a lecture at 9 the next morning. And I'm glad to say i've seen that before.

I would tend to agree, judging by the puntuation, grammar and ... well ... generally making sense.

My thoughts so far are that it *could be* the same person, but that the previous nonsense was all a wind up (I'm still not convinced anyone could be as genuinely stupid as guru appears), and that they've suddenly 'grown up' to avoid being kicked off.

If I am wrong then I can live with that and will apologise in due course. :-)

People belive in me as being me, moral victory for everyone who can coexist.

I'm pretty confident it's not cheatguru. Style of writing.

Lucky you, i don't think i could cope being labelled cheatguru, no-one seems to like him
