When I was young my dad used to play Ninja Rabbits, Pac-Man, some golf game, and...the original Leisure Suit Larry. I can still remember him typing in something like "Hey baby, can I buy you a drink?" and failing miserably. Plus he would bang the keyboard everytime he died in Pac-Man or Ninja Rabbits.
But once Doom came out he pretty much stopped playing computer games. Not me though!
Yeah Im not like other people that see a new trailer or gameplay footage of a game and say 'wow that is going to own', I dont know why but when I see a new trailer I tend to initialy go 'wow great graphics' but after a while when I play them I just feel like im not having much fun as I used to to.
Im not sure if its because ideas are running short or companies are using the same concepts over and over again, and I generaly say after playing 'Damn Im sure Iv played this already' but its getting to the point where Im thanking companies for releasing a different or new franchise which I shouldnt be doing. All companies should push all the great and new ideas in to a game and not hold them back just to save something for a sequal, and thats why I always feel like Im either playing a shinnier version of a old game or a incomplete game at times and it just shows how companies are more money frenzy than they used to be.

I think you really hit the nail on the head there man. I've been saying this to people for a long time and no one really seems to care. You feel like all these games are the same, and you're right. Companies just keep turning out sequels not really giving a damn about creating something new because it's easier and safer to do. It's almost guaranteed money. It's the same thing in movies. Rather than tell a good story the first movie and just end it there, they have to milk it over and over again with lousy sequels. They figure that if the first one was a hit, then everyone will already come to see the second one, so why even bother changing anything or actually writing a good story? Basically, it's a question of developers asking this: "How many times can we get them to pay for the same game (aside from a few changes and a graphics update)? And then other companies that haven't made a hit game yet try to copy a similar formula from another game because they know it's the safest bet. It's marketing bull****. Not creative developing. I agree with you.
I'm surprised no one has said Hitman yet. Agent 47's voice is so memorable. And I have to agree with pretty much everyone about Half Life too. Excellent voice acting.
Do you think that these games should be remade? I mean, think about how sweet Commander Keen would be. Running around with the ray gun and swimming with the dopefish in 3d...
