Ok so I've been reading some random things online and some of it bugs me. Even the game review writers are being ignorant about some of the facts and histories of games.

I hope you all know that Need for Speed Underground wasn't the first Need for Speed right? It's actually like the 7th, and the origin of the series was to make a fairly realistic game rather than an arcade-style one. And that the 3 PS2 Grand Theft Auto games were each based off of a city in the original GTA?

all pretty trivial stuff but it just bugs me that people don't know some of this stuff >>

I think that gaming is becoming too much of a pop culture thing now. All the most recent games I've played lately SUCK. That includes Halo 2, Half Life 2, Doom, etc. The only game i've enjoyed of late was gta: sa. I'm getting tired of playing some of the same things over and over again, at least rockstar continually mixes it up now and then.

I still have a copy of GTA2 for the PSone and Need for Speed 3 for the PC. I even have the original Warcraft some where. My opinion on gaming I am more into FPS and racing games now, since the RTS genre is thinned out to only a few decent titles, I remember when Starcraft, Warcraft, Total Annihilation and Red Alert were the s***. I like the advancements in FPS but it is starting to lag a little, the new game Black is suppose to revolutionize the FPS genre by making the bullet damage more realistic, like being able to shoot the s*** out of the floor and drop to the next level like in Underworld or being able to put a bullet from a high powered weapon through the wall and kill an enemy.

video games have always been pop culture.

I totally am with you about Red Alert and all the RTS games, there just are no good ones out lately. I have Warcraft 3 but that seems to get old after like 20 minutes. I mostly play RPG's and racing games anymore, and not even that often bc it's hard to find a good game. Hopefully Advent Rising will be pretty cool.

I thought this was about knowing your roots? Do you know where we'd be without the Magnavox Odyssey? Do you remember the phenomenon we know as PONG? What about Splatterhouse for TurboGrafx16. Both revolutionized video games. PONG introduced kids to video games and believe it or not those kids are responsible for the games we play today. Splatterhouse was one of the most controversial violent game to exist and to be honest, without it I think we'd all be playing the 18th sequel to Strawberry Shortcake from the Atari 2600.

Yeah I read it I was the third to respond, well the TurboGrafx16 (basically a Genisis, same with the MS) wasn't that bad, nor the Master System, but the Calecovision come on, it had Amazing Bumpman and Skiing as hit games. BTW here is a good candidate for the worst roots system: Panasonic CD-i, inovative but terrible.

No. If it wasn't for PONG we wouldn't have video games right now. I agree Nintendo sped things up a bit but if they didn't do it someone else would. Sega or Sony perhaps. It was inevitable. Games will continue to advance and evolve. right along with technology.

You spelled towards wrong.
