I like the gigantatroller.....Makes me feel like I have all the power! Biz-nitches!!!!

Okay, I'm way to white to do pull that off right

Robot Monk had a really good point there amid all the tirade....

When hasn't it been about the money?

In the beginning, video games were the play toys of geekophiles. I think the change came later on when the big companies, who at the time were looking at the game developers like the retarded step child, started to see that you could make some serious cashola off these "stupid little" games.

It doesn't take much to sell a game to a gamer. Lots of flashy lights, slap on some mediocre gameplay and a reliable trademark and BAM you've got the next big thing.

And we buy just about anything, don't we???? Remember the pocket gameboy (same crappy screen, same puke green, just a little bit smaller) or the remodeled consoles. (Yes, I want to fork over x amount of dollars for a new NES, SNES or playstation because they've rounded the corners off. How very futuristic.)

And as for re-hashing, like the Monk said. If you basically break down any game it's a re-hash. There are only so many truly original ideas out there that gamers want to play around with. Final Fantasy I-XXXIXIVVXIX is basically the same friggin' game with a different cast of characters and different weapons.

And next to last....Aren't all consoles just "modified computers" yeah, sure X-Box is really walking that line, but ultimately they're all the same. (Shiny discs, fast processors, video graphics cards, big ass fan)

And finally, I will gladly pay my $50.00 a year to play Halo 2 on-line when it comes out. No friggin' question.
