Rob, although I tend to feel three links to be a tad excessive, it is allowed but at least have the decency and googlove to make them active. Thanks.

"Gamers are some of the most unhealthy, delusioned, bored, and materialistic people i know." I could easily substitute "Gamers" for "Americans." Perhaps that's where you're snarky little comment came from. Sure there are gamers that fit that bill, they're also gamers that completely defy that notion. I'd comment more but I'm already bored and need to go the gym. Rob Gamers Unite ecgxpo.com coin-op.tv

interesting title. I thought this was going to be about gaming itself and how it stagnates the development and growth of a person. Gamers are some of the most unhealthy, delusioned, bored, and materialistic people i know.

maybe its becuase i have a very similar veiw but the article gives me the "well duh" factor. sad this is, the bigger companies do what is need to apease the majority. the industry tends to be like the music industry, the big compies are essentially the pop artists. nintendo is like the artist that starting losing the top 40 status and went back to the studio to reinvent themselves. other lesser known developers are like the independant artists, lots try to make the pop status but other shine through their sheer unhindered rules.

It's very true. Even in recent years Nintendo has stagnated and give us rehash after rehash. The DS is a breath of fresh air. Sure, some games use tried and true methods of play, but there have been some truely innovative ways to play. Look at Pac-Pix, Kirby Canvas Curse, Nintendogs, and Phoenix Wright to name a few. This is the direction gaming should be going in.

That must be someone I know missing the point of the article entirely. In case other readers don't know on certain messageboards i'll go by the name "RCM" or "THE ONE, THE ONLY - RCM." carry on! Rob www.gamersunitemagazine.com www.ecgxpo.com www.coin-op.tv

Hope you all enjoy the article. For the record the title I submitted was called "The Answer?" I don't mind this altered title at all. Regardless of the slight cuts the main message remains. Rob www.gamersunitemagazine.com www.ecgxpo.com www.coin-op.tv
