Wow this was a fantastic list I especially loved that you included Duke Nukem and the Oddworld series. Not many people these days Duke Nukem started off as a 2D Platformer before Duke Nukem 3D and I absolutely adore Strangers Wrath.

I seem to remember capitalism being here when gaming was started. So back then it helped, but now its killing it?

Not buying it

Because of my 1000 year backlog I've placed a moritorium on buying games this entire year.

I bought like an addict for over 20 years and feel like I'm responsible for the growth in the industry.

Someone else will have to take over, I'm done.

I hear lots of great games are coming out of Cuba, Venezuela, Iran and North Korea.

ScorpiusX3320d ago

No , besides would you rather have the state make your games and tell you how to play them. I think not .
