Plead for an original idea!

For the love of Pete...no more post-apocalyptic games!!!

The theme has been done to death! On another note while I'm ranting, please, please, no more goddamn zombies either!

That is all!

Get along little doggie!

I’ve played MMO’s since the days of Ultima Online in the late 1990’s, a long…long time ago! Whether it’s World of Warcraft, Everquest I or II, Warhammer, Guild Wars, Anarchy, Lineage, Archlord, Age Of Conan, I could go on and on….

I’ve come to the conclusion that we are a curious type of hybrid player when it comes to the type of games we play and more importantly, our loyalty to the game or genre we choose to play.

We are a fickled assortment of game players also! We sometimes will repeat the same habits/behavior over and over again!

For example…we will play a particular game, fall in love with it, invest hours/days/months, if not years to it.

We will immerse ourselves into the lore of the game. We establish close friendships with our fellow players and literally bond with the game.

We will create a character; pick the class, race, gender of our avatar! Carefully and meticulously level the character, choose what attributes and skills that best coincide with our play-style.

Then the hype of a new game begins. The game developers try to entice us away from the comfort and familiarity of the game will have come to know and love but sometimes without realizing it, have become complacent or even bored with it.

MMO players are like cattle sometimes, are looking for greener pastures to graze on, unfortunately we discover that it isn’t always the case.

We flock back to the same pastures time and time again once we figure out that the new, lush, green fields that looks so alluring really isn't all that great. Some, of course, will stay. Many will come back and others yet again will sod off from the entire genre.

I guess in the end….it’s just the “human” nature of things!

I have returned!......Crap it!

Well .... after a two year absence, I have returned to Everquest 2 only to be able to play for a few days and get hooked again!
Then Sony's network is hacked by a bunch of "I have nothing better to do with my life than to steal Sony's customer info and ruin everyone's gaming experience!" snot nose punks!

But as they say..."This too shall pass!"...

Battlefield:Bad Company 2-Vietnam

I have returned to my roots....the FPS genre!

The game I'm playing these days is EA's Battlefield:Bad Company2:Vietnam. I have to say that the single player version of this game has to rate right up there with the best I have ever played before!
The storyline is excellent and the game-play really prepared me for the fast paced action of the multi-player!

I played quite a few games in the Battlefield series and I have really enjoy my return to playing FPS shooters!
