Yea, sure, the new ones *look* better and have a more complex storyline, but you know..I don't want to waste hours of my time to tell if a game sucks or not. I can tell w/i minutes of playing an older game if I'm going to have a good time or not and the there's none of that backtracking to solve a puzzle or whatever that just draaags in newer games, especially when I'm having just as much fun playing that game from the 80's. 85015@blogcritics.org Tue, 14 Sep 2004 12:55:06 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/09/14/010633.php#comment-84963 As far as I can remember I have been fascinated by the idea of games enabling you to do anything. Space Invaders is nice, but I wouldn't lose sleep over it now. It's too basic, I want variety, move freely in a world and do whatever seems right to me. 84963@blogcritics.org Tue, 14 Sep 2004 04:26:33 EDT
