#2An odd post from a Website that depends on many games being released per year to give people a reason to go back there.

#3An odd post from a Website that depends on many games being released per year to give people a reason to go back there.
There's probably some quirky British humour going on there, and actually acts to remind people to visit more to keep up with the huge amount of stuff being released.
As a non-game player, I was under the impression that there was only one or two big games released a year, based on the adverts I see on the tube. It's quite amazing how my internet is so different from a gamer's.

Good point. I hadn't thought of it from that point of view. The article is certainly more effective as a hint to visit more often, than a cry to the gaming industry. Come to think of it, they did publish this under the humor section.

Yet, at least in my situation it was spot-on.

#6How do people learn about new games these days? For some reason I stopped reading the online game mags a while ago, and now to start again seems a bit overwhelming. Would be nice to only hear about the real must-play games.

#7This may be humour but he's getting to the heart of something big.
Why don't we just watch all the amazing films and TV shows of the past? Why do we listen to music that's in the charts when we've got over 5 decades of complete genius waiting to be listened to?
Because fundamentally these are social acts. We like listening to the music that others are listening to, to define ourselves by the films we like in common with others. It's the same with games.

As someone who sort of kind of keeps up, it's actually pretty true, there have been a WHOLE bunch of goods games lately, and I don't think I'll ever catch up.

I think there is still some progress in the arts.

Are 'all' games targeted at the same market? It seems odd to me that so many games are being produced for the same people. Wouldn't it be better business to target more groups?
On the other hand, if you're going to buy them anyway, I don't suppose it matters for the producers.
