Aww, why so serious?

I was actually just thinking about how interesting a sci-fi shooter could be if instead of the opponent being the cliched "Aliens" rip-off, it was other humans. Surprisingly underdone in today's market.

Infinity Ward, I'm game.

I know! Damn those writers and their... integrity. How do they sleep at night, knowing they write such blatent... truths. Bastards.

You must forgive my grievence. I think I misread your post in such a way that I thought you were saying that you were right, and Joystiq was wrong. I appologize for not thinking before I type.

And Jerk Face, you're very right.

Have a nice day, everyone.

I understand what you're saying. Allow me to use (an oft overused and admittedly poorly fitting) a comparison: there are two types of good films; movies which change the way movies are made, and fun movies. I appreciate the artistic merit of Danny Boy; I enjoy the movie The Ex.

Besides, the point I attempted to get across is that Rock Band and Peggle use a formula for experiencing fun that is very rarely used, and thus, pushes the medium of fun in games forward.

However, I absolutely agree with you that there should be awards for games based on how they push the medium as a whole forward. This, however, are several bloggers listing their favorite games for a blog no one at AOL-Time Warner actually realizes they own.

I bid you, adieu.

But does every game need to "push the medium forward"? Granted, games are currently trying to push the envelope, and have artisitic merit, but games should be fun. Rock Band and Peggle are, as a general concensus, fun, and PUSH THE MEDIUM FORWARD as far as how gamers derive fun. Ergo thusly, they are worthy of notice.

Have a pleasent day.

That's weird. I was in debate in high school. This argument is nontopical, and the counterplans affirm our plan(lol, debate humor).

cursing, i mean.

It's not the strongest, but still, pretty funny. His whole draw is the speed, curing, and Britishness. This wasn't his stronger one. I suggest you watch the Bioshock or Medal of Honor: Airborne review. Have a pleasent day/evening. Peace.
