    The 17-yr old geeky virgin stereotype is really really overdone at this stage. There's guys that have big jobs, big dicks, girlfriend's with big boobs and they started off playing MegaDrives years ago. Women play games too of but I can't remember when I last saw a woman that wasn't a mother-buying-for-child buy a game.

    He's dead right about the gadgets thing though how many people would go back and play a great game that's 10 years old ? Lots of this whinging "mwah mwah mwah graphics are sooooo dated mwah". I suppose there's a downside to these photorealistic-realistic games that are invariably shooters that they have a short lifespan ie. are dated in a few years.

    The storytelling this though is kinda personal preference isn't it? Some just wanna play though I suppose for others that want decent storylines there's maybe not as much there for them.


    Oh and I got this ad at the bottom :D:

    ...too many burgers that's why!

    One thing missing here though is the guys developing the games. While I thoroughly enjoyed Fallout 3 I do remember watching some preview where one of the devs was showing off the vats and the slo-mo dismemberment and so on. I was thinking I want an rpg and this guy is salivating over body parts flying through the air in slow motion.
