somwhere along the line, this guy forgot what gaming is all about

fun

if you can have playing a game then it's done its job

very true it is about fun, but its about alot more then that

Not really, videogames were intended to be an interactive form of tv, something fun to pass the time. Graphics, audio, etc its all secondary. Look at Pac Man. 1 guy made the entire game, and people LOVED it and the game and character would be come a lifelong legend.  Don't forget what games are - interactive dvds

it could also be a way that the creator interprets things...a fantasy....that can be experienced through a controller...like mgs4....back in the day, i am sure if the guy who created pacman had the tech of the now, i am sure he wouldve made the graphics better and added online....because not only does it add to the fun...but it creates a better experience through visual and perceptive art.

Perhaps, hard to say. It sort of the concept of avant garde music or art.... If you stray away from the main core element, you cater to a very limited, niche crowd. A lot of games now have their loyal following, but aren't really gaining new fans. They are focusing too much on graphics and forgetting to make the game fun. 1 hour long cutscenes in MGS4 would be an example of this. Less art, more fun.

Don't you people actually think for yourselves anymore or do you need some paid editorialists who whine that games aren't the way they want them to be to tell you what to play?



Six upcoming games you should look into:

I can't say as I disagree with this article.

You can't possibly deny the fact that because its a Mario is the only reason it got so much recognition. If it has been the exact same game with different characters and a different name it wouldn't have done well at all.

If it was the same game with different characters then IGN would complain and say that Nintendo is lay and could have made a Mario game just like this but didn't.

While the platforming genre isn't gaming's feature presentation as it was back in the day, there were still a number of quality platformers released this year to contend with New Super Mario Bros. Wii. Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time, LittleBigPlanet PSP, and Trine... NyxQuest: Kindred Spirits, LostWinds: Winter of the Melodias, A Boy and his Blob ...were all a good time. But I submit that the best platformer of 2009 was one that received less attention than all of these titles (except maybe Trine): Twisted Pixel's 'Splosion Man. While New Super Mario Bros. Wii brought relatively nothing new to the table, 'Splosion Man was brilliant and original.

That's better, I just thought those should be mentioned too if he did put a game like R&C on the list of titles that got less attention than they deserved.
