i know what tlarkin was getting at and i agree in some ways, but it isn't necessarily true. i remember reading magazines saying the same thing back during the SNES days, before internet, true 3d graphics, peripheral based games like guitar hero/ dance dance revolution etc existed. then voila, something new comes out we didn't previously think was possible and it gives our short sighted minds a new laundry list of ideas which is fulfilled within half a decade. then the NEXT "revolution" comes out and the process is repeated. the stories/settings/characters are for the most part rehashes of one another, but gameplay itself is and always will be constantly evolving.

Music games have been out and thought of before, technology just recently made it possible, there is still nothing new under the sun.
Maybe play the single player for a change before judging then? makes me wonder tough, waht do you consider to be a good game?
if you cant keep an open mind to things, you shouldn't be discussing really.. and calling things names, well, proof of ignorance if you ask me.
at the moment the only one acting like a kid in a discussion is you.
As for Ducis, good explonation for why you dont really like it. Its basically why I dont really like CoD4. its a good game and all, but i've never got into it. (and I don't consider the game to actually have added anything new to the scene, appart from easy to run good grafic's. )
If you have a fascination with Halo, that's fine. But i find it hard to not judge a game based on it's audience and fan base, which is probably kids under 13.

So... you must really hate the GTA games too then.. ever seen the major group of people playing that? thinking about it, you must hate quite a few things.. because there is quite a few things 13 year old kiddo's like..
Sorry, but I think the whole stereotying of things is just silly.
ever seen the HL2 franchise?.. hmm, that should move to the Wii aswell, right?
at least try to put it in a similair way as Ducis, he doesnt like it, and at least gave some reason for it. all games are played by 13 year old kids too, hardly a reason to dislike a particular game, but like another.

I gotta disagree with you on this one. The 13 year olds keep Britney Spears in business, and yes the GTA games are boring and have been the same old recycled game since GTA2. Not to mention GTA is a game that recycles it's own content. Go here pick up a package, drive this guy here, go kill this guy then come back to me, over and over and over again.
13 year olds are dumb when it comes to taste and what is good and what is horrible. I was 13 years old once and probably did the same thing. I remember when color me bad played on the radio and I kind of liked it, but I was like 12. Now I would laugh my ass off and cover my ears if I heard that crap.
Totally agree here. If the makers of Gaylo made it less kid friendly, a shooting game more for adults, it would completely change my opinion about it. Its the little kids who keep the Gaylo franchise in business. It's more of the adults that keep CoD, GRAW and Gears franchise going.

By you calling it Gaylo, makes me think you're one of the 13 year old kids you're bitching about.
And it's rated M, meaning for a kid to get this game, they would need someone who is over the age of 18.
So you might want to bitch about the kid's parents, rather than the kids.
And FYI, kids play the COD, GOW, and GRAW.

I'm sure they do, but there are probably more adults playing those games than there are kids. I'm not trying to insult anyone by calling the game "Gaylo." Don't take it personally. It's just my opinion, and if you're into a game that is probably supported mostly by middle school teens who haven't hit puberty yet, then that's your business.

I was just playing Halo 3, played about 5 matches, everyone had their mic on, and I came across one kid, and he was fine.
And most of my friends, some younger than me, only play the COD and GOW series.
