@Orta: I'm really tired of 'shooters'. Platafformers should be the 'latest fashion'; the new black; the hit and the 'big thing' again.

I remember a time when I specifically said that the market was getting way too crowded with first person shooters(which looked and played alike) and I almost had my gaming credentials revoked for it.

Now who's laughing, motherf*****s?

I don't really get it. Why does everyone live to whine about gaming industry and not just sit back and BUY games you enjoy. If people like playing the same old Mario game, FPS adventure. Good.

Why are we going to sit on our high horse and say "NO MORE CALL OF DUTY FOR YOU CHILD!"

Maybe you are growing out of gaming. I think gamers now judge games way too quickly and think they hate them cuz of the internet. Seriously, as a kid I would just buy or rent a game due to the cover. Now everyone has to check a score or a opinion on the interwebs.

Pen & Teller is doing a episode on Martial Arts next week. Fuck. Now that is bullshit.

Actually, I don't have that problem. It's cool to have an opinion. I don't ride the internet bullshit.

The site from which I order games for cheap only has a list with the names of the games. I've bought games only because of their cool name, without even knowing what the fuck it was.

I like to try new things, so I don't care about Internet reviews. Ever.

I'm happy.

That sounds like fun. What games have you bought based on name alone?

Talking about games bought based on 'cover', I got Overlord 2. Just cuz it reminded me of 60's -80's horror comedy. Think Gremlins etc.

Well, Mass Destruction will arrive tomorrow.
Then there's Xmen mutant academy, Omega Boost, Starfighter 3000 (which didn't work very well on my Saturn :c), Die Hard Trilogy, Turbo Outrun (I did not know what it was back then), NBA Hangtime, Super Wrestlemania, Castlevania (for the N64, I did not knew how it was I had never played castlevania before), UEFA Striker, Sega Extreme Sports, Virtua Athlete 2k..

These are the ones I still have here.. There are more that I eventually got rid of.

Current Gen - FPS

Every generation had that one genre that gets a bit overdone.

I do not agree with this generation being mostly about FPS. The original Xbox had way more FPSs than the Xbox 360 does, which I would say is mostly made up of RPGs or general action games.

I guess it varies from console to console. Most people would say the 16 bit gen was mostly made up of platformers, but I would separate Genesis as more of an arcade platform and the Super Nintendo as more of an adventure or RPG kind of platform, the TurboGrafx-16 barely had any platformers to boot either - it was mostly shmups. For a good two years or so, the PlayStation 3 had twice as many FPSs as the Xbox 360 did, not sure why not many people ever really took notice of this.

3rd person action games are the ones I think are really taking over this gen. How many big FPSs can you think of outside of Halo, Call of Duty and maaaaaybe something like FEAR? Not too much that really does well or gets noticed.

But when you think 3rd person action games, you got everything from Uncharted to Gears of War to Dead Rising. I would say something like the Ratchet & Clank games are less platformers and closer to this now too.
