@rad8045 I don't think researchers have a conspiracy against games, it's all of the above that has some effect on people. But games are interactive, they're not like other mediums. You do the deeds.
@Imperiacommando Civilization started there and it seems like it'll cause the end of it. lol. But in all honesty, there are some truly gorgeous bits in the middle east.
I really really hope Nintendo pours all its focus this time around on the SDK (software development kit) the stuff that developers use to make games. Screw hardware, we saw how the first ipad was capable of driving Resident evil 4 in a resolution probably surpassing that of the Wii's. You want good games ? It's all in the damn software. Make it so that even a moron can build an AAA title. I want the console to be maximaised (technically) from the get go. The idea of games maturing through out the console's life cycle was something only Nintendo managed to do on the Wii. Gamers ended up suffering for lack of "as good" third party software. Basically, I want the limiting factor to be original ideas and creativity, not the tech, like it should always be. Think iphone app development philosophy.
