Gaming

Found this great article about gaming.

It's great. It explains very clearly (not to mention verbosely!) my opinions about games in lots of areas.

My favorite part? I hate wandering around lost in FPS's:
<snip>
Did you remember when you were a kid and you got bored on weekends, how you would go to a large building, a hotel or a hospital, then wander around for several hours looking for a certain room? While zombies attacked you? Neither do we. That's because, much to the surprise of FPS game makers everywhere, wandering around lost in hallways isn't fun.

Other highlights? Creating 'difficulty' by giving you only 4 bullets in a clip, or making you talk to 10 different NPCs in the right order to be able to accomplish a task.
