The Great Videogame Crash of 2008
The show grows more depressing as vendor after vendor, analyst after analyst, and the who's who of the videogame world collctively saying: we have no idea what will happen, but we are in for some tough times. No shit, Sherlock.
But if you want the reason for that, you just have to take a look around at what's on display here: Shooter, Thug Beat 'em ups, racing, etc. It's all the same shit in a cleaner wrapper. Why don't the fuck nut companies put something out there that's different and innovative? Cause they'll lose a couple'a bucks? Shameful!
I've got much more to say, but I've got to run.

hey there Nostradamus, how you doing.
If you are so damn smart at predicting the future, where were you when I got that rash? Huh?
SO what are the next big lottery ticket numbers?
Why do you doubt what you know to be true? If there is one thing I know, it's games. If there are two things I know; it's games and that you are an idiot for doubting me.
We can all hope that the inevitable loss of all things good in the gaming industry takes long enough and is stretched out so horribly that we all come to hate and loathe all things 'gamer'. Maybe then the pain will somehow be less real.
I agree with the man on this one.. were doomed.. at this point its all just about choosing which lesser evil you want to be seen going down with.
Don't you guys/gals have anything better to do with your time? Playing video games is so 5th grade! Not to mention boring!
Technology is not a substitute for fun. I don’t know, maybe somewhere along the development of the gaming industry a choice was made to entice gamers with better graphics, not better game play. Most titles for the major systems have no replay value. Most of the games today are violent narrcistic crap. What happened to the kind of game play that everybody loved from the eighties and early nineties? If a real retro revival is to happen consumers have to wise up, but once again people who have taste are at the mercy of the massive amounts of morons who line up for Grand Theft Auto 5 like its going to grease their schlong.
Well said huffa-puff!
