Video games, our hobby, which fits into our daily routine no matter what. We play games as often as possible and hey, when people try and stop us from playing them we play even more!
But, who are the people that make our hobby such a great hobby to have? Ok, we may know them as ‘Games Company’s’, e.g. Rare, Team 17, Maxis etc. But why should we only know the name of the company that makes it? Why don’t the people involved in making the game get a better mention rather then just the quick flick through credits at the end of the game? Some of us don’t even reach the end to see this!
Ok, Nintendo, they are known for the man who created and helped in many successful Nintendo games. But how about the rest of the team? When I completed ‘Super Smash Brothers’ you could fast forward the credits and I could only basically make out about half the team with ‘Yoshi’ within their name!
The same goes for Rare, many of us see Rare as the best games company in the world! For such classics as Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, Donkey Kong etc. But do any of us really know who put all their time and effort in to give us the pleasure of playing their games in our leisure time?…………………Nope, Not me!
So, really I think credits towards the team behind our games should be greater. Show me who made me not do my coursework, show me who gave me such happiness, show me who created the games which I love to play!

Well, B&W got 95% in PC Zone, and they only gave Deus Ex about 92, so i think that proves B&W is going to be amazing.....
