This came up in my feed reader today. Like me, this gamer prefers stories to mindless shoot-em-ups, and laments the current state of commercial gaming.
There's a lot of hipocrysy in the minds of many gamers today. Almost every gamer I talk to tells me they want games with depth, carefully written storylines, and maginificent scenery - yet they camp out in front of game shops whenever the next game featuring a nameless space marine killing aliens/Russians/Chinese/terrorists comes out. I'm trying very hard to stick to my guns (you have to admit, that's a good one) when I say that I like games which at least promise me depth and decent storytelling - and I try to buy only those.--Thom Holwerda
