Phoenix Down Under: The Passion of the Gamer

What is it about video games that attract such devotion from fans?

Midnight showings may happen in cinemas for triple A titles as well as games, but most movie watchers don't spend a lot of time on the internet speculating and soaking up as much information as they can. Neither do they often insult strangers and speculate on internet forums, but then again, I've never met many truly die-hard film buffs.

Opinion: Nintendo, Innovation, and You

What's that I hear you say? Nintendo doesn't innovate? They simply remake the same games over and over and rake in large quantities of currency? Well... Okay, I'll give you that one, but only the latter statement.

While no one is denying that we as gamers are beginning to get a little tired of Link slaying Ganondorf, Mario saving Peach and various unnamed Pokemon trainers following very closely to the long-established formula, Nintendo does indeed innovate. Not many would deny that in fact, but I believe Nintendo needs to be spared the constant bashing by 'hardcore' gamers because they made a console called the Wii.
