Gaming has been going downhill for the past years. Companies don't seem to have the slightest clue what makes games "games", and instead waste their budgets making what seems to be animated 3D movies. I: Games should be designed around gameplay elements that catches player's interest. Take...

Many things. Three worst offenders: 1. Mixing real life cash with game content. I'll go to a store and buy a game, I don't want to see anything referring to your business plans in the game. 2. Health bars. Why is it that firing a shotgun at someone has no effect on them except lowering...

- I play PC exclusively and I have to say that limiting people on the server to 18 is perfectly fine solution. Have you considered alternatives? Either the maps would have to be enlarged, resulting in much strain on hardware and excluding gamers with older machines. Another alternative would be...

100% chance that you get all the entertainment you ever need for free. 0,00058% chance that you're the unfortunate guy who goes to court. If this is the level of morality we are at, I'll let you draw your own conclusions.

- One year, yes.

Age of Empires II, Starcraft, Red Alert, Heroes of Might and Magic 2, Diablo, Diablo II, etc. Best tactical combat system to date:

Some of the reasons given for piracy are pretty self-righteous. I too pirate, because it's fast, convenient and easy. At the same time I think that the developers of games have full right to their income. Regardless of what any of us think, every field of industry out there exist for the purpose...

Maybe in ten years us PC gamers will get working emulators for this generations consoles and I can finally enjoy my Final Fantasy.

Some of the wonders of architecture [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Featured_pictures/Places/Architecture] are quite awe-inspiring sights. I can't compare different art forms. It's like saying some genre of novel would be better than other. It's all about how well done something is.

Final Fantasy VI. If you haven't played, don't spoil one of the greatest moments in gaming history.

Chess

I don't think I ever used any offensive magic in that game. It looked more like "draw yourself better stats" system, since junctioning best magic to strength gave much higher damage output than spending that magic would have been. And when you junction 100 blinds to status attack, your every hit...

I haven't really stayed in the cutting edge of gaming scene for years. I bought Counter-Strike:Source and Guild Wars some years ago and Nintendo DS for last Christmas. Lack of innovations is one point. Why buy any of the new shooters when CS:S has as much tactic and customized servers as one...

- You might enjoy Jagged Alliance series too. Gunshots actually get worse if they're not tended and regaining health isn't just as simple as pressing the button and see the red bar jump up. I wish there were more realistic games out there, not just running and gunning around.

Um.. why should players regenerate health during rounds? It works just fine like in Counter-Strike. Player can't take many hits. Aiming counts more than mindless spray & pray. Flashbangs and grenades to flush out campers. When hit by stray bullets, seek cover.
