The fact that Sega have fanished off the hardware market is only the start of it. There have been no games out recently that I have seriously wanted to own. I have money in my bank and I'm really trying to save it just now but usually I see a game I want and can't resist - that hasn't happened for ages and it confirms my grief. I love the industry but the drivel that pours out the doors of publishers these days doesn't even warrant a sniff. Don't get me wrong Metal Gear 2 looks amazing but it will be revolutionary, not evolutionary. Final Fantasy 9 looks good but I mean wheres the originallity? (I may buy it eventually). The last really good game that I actually looked forward to playing was Deus Ex on the PC, that was original. Before that it was FFVII. I don't even think the new wave of consoles will change this. Nintendo will unjustifiably bet cut down at the knees, Sony will rule again, promoting drivel (and EA) and I recon Microsoft have already positioned themselves in the corner of the class room due to the X-Box trying to be something it shouldn't and the developer complaints (I know - every new console gets em). Also my beloved Edge seems to have been going down the pan a bit, of late. Read the inbox section... a single gaming platform... WHAT! have they all gone demented! Jamie Smith is also right Edge has become more cynical, they do not have the same passion they had for the industry at first. Judging by Edge's reply they have also been working on their sarcasm, perhaps too much.
