Reasonable on 29 March 2009

Yup - if more people had bought Deus Ex, System Shock, etc that would have shaken things up more. Still, with Bioshock success I hope to see more hybrid games appearing. I love the immersion of the first person perspective and just don't see why it isn't used for more than just shooters.
Mirror's Edge was another breath of fresh air, it's just a pity they so focused on the running they missed a great chance at a deeper story and a broader set of game mechanics. I was expecting to get into buildings then snoop around, spy on people and follow them, etc. but in the end 95% of the game was built around a narrow plot then getting you to run.
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
