What about the games?

My personal opinion-today's games are pushing too much our hardware and too little our imagination. What happened with the real games, those that made us feel like kids imagining all that the graphics wouldn't deliver?
All of the today's games are just some interactive movies. I can tell you(as many of the older gamers can) me, the old games were something good. They even made some people of my generation in my country learn english. Believe me, my location is not the in the third world. And god****it what's with the violence everywhere? Is this a military exercise or what?

So tell us about your pair of jems.

'll be interesting for me too+)))
Heh, it all depends on what you're into, doesn't it? The Sims, despite having become a real cash cow, was actually one of the ideas that would never have been made if someone in accounting hadn't gone out on a limb and many people consider it a gem.

Maybe Civilization IV, if you're into TBS, though I know how personal "Which" Civ game you prefer can be, so take your pick of the series I suppose.

For online games, again Battlefield is an idea that looked a bit silly before it became a major hit, and whatever about making money off of it now it's still ruddy good fun.

Games like Call of Duty 2 are quality, but they're more of the same stuff that blew us away with Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, so it's all about taste.

You can find plenty of good stuff, but even in the "old" days when perhaps more creativity was encouraged over business sense a ground breaking Half-Life was still a once in a blue moon event.

*thinks for a second*

Still, if you like the idea then you should look into the mod scene for the games you play, they usually output some interesting stuff indeed.

gahah, why not a game which goal is to create and use a terrorist group. But it should have all the issues, i mean the economical part, the part where you should find people to join that group, and so on, and so on. It can get really complicated. The same way you can create an underground antiterrorist group. Again having the issue to raise money some way and convince people to take part...

ya the problem with this is that people get to bored very easily nowadays who the hell wants to set up lemonade stands and raise money for a terrorist group huh, who?

the taste thats laced with anthrax!
