Is there any original games left?The games companies are contionusly coming out with sequals and seeemingly there are no original games left....Take the Playstation for example, its biggest games are still the grand theft auto and grand tourismo. It seems like the only original games company is still nintendo, they think about the user and they dont make games for any other companies.Elsewhere the games that are being made for nintendo are not being made on any of the other consoles, conkers bad fur day, mario, zelda to name a few.The playstation has no good role playing games and yet nintendo manage to have great 1 player games and still come out on top with the multi-player games. Playstation may be more popular but in my eyes nintendo put more effort and passion into their games and make sure that the user is happy, the games seem to last for a long time and even after completion they are still going to be played again and again. Nintendo:about the people needs.

Yeah, I see what you mean about Nintendo being the only company left who only produce games for themselves.
But are you saying that the main developers for each other console are also developing for their rivals??
Cuz I don't think that games from Sony and Microsoft can be found elsewhere.

Some of the teams at Sega have also started working on other machines, but I don't think they would've had Sega produced an up-to-date console.

Rare are Nintendo's main developers, and there have been rumours that they'll start work on PS2 and X-box games. But I don't think they will, as they've been loyal to Ninty so far!

Why would Nintendo or any other console company develop fot their rivals anyway???

You are so last century!

Anyway, Nintendo were the first to utilise many gaming revolutions, including the platform game, Donkey Kong being the first of it's kind.

If Nintendo aren't considered as original, I don't think you could consider any developer to be original.

I think you'll find that Grand Theft Auto 3 is an original game depsite it being a sequel.

Would you say that the further on you go in the series of Casualty, the less original it is? I wouldn't! Each episode, although being set in a hospital, is different.
