I just can't help feeling there's just a few to many First Person Shooters around today and all of a sudden they are called FPS (which confused me for a while) I was reading with interest the Mev Dinc interview and was really getting into it until right at the end he mentioned that he was working on an "interactive movie" Noooooooooo. Everyone goes on about the fact that games are a lot more real now, they can emulate the real world even down to the pollen (cough, no please stop) but what games have to be, absolutely have to be is fun, otherwise they are just flash looking encyclopaedias. I'm excited about the next-next-generation ps2, dolphin etc. but I want to see innovation and fun games not interactive movies, this is the second time I've complained about interactive movies in about a month, lets hope this isn't a trend that continues. I'm also upset that they only gave Soul Fighter, three out of ten, I thought that game had real promise and looked great, ah well, that was the game I was getting a Dreamcast for, never mind I'll have to wait for Ferrari F355 Twin, that and the price to come down :) Nigel
