the only thing a man needs to survive, is food, sex and video games, if any of those fail to provide, it will likely result in suicide or natural death (food)...

SoadOutlaw... They also skipped over the entire FPS genre, and computer games through the 90`s. Doom? Nope no need to mention that one!

If Mario is dead, then who has taken its place??? Master Chief. Mario is still going strong with Galaxy and I think will still continue to innovate and move the bar higher in the game industry.

soon video game consoles will cost too much for the average player to afford. i cant afford any of the new systems (i.e. ps3, xbox 360) so i play PC. its affordable to upgrade and is far more entertaining.

They were going over Major Innovations to the world of Video Games. Compared to Mario, Doom was nothing. It started the whole FPS genre but other than that it did nothing else to contribute to video games as a whole.

"soon video game consoles will cost too much for the average player to afford. i cant afford any of the new systems (i.e. ps3, xbox 360) so i play PC. its affordable to upgrade and is far more entertaining"

affordable to upgrade? "so u play pc". either youre getting the best deals for ur PC or ure getting screwed when shopping consoles.
I bought the xbox360 and now have 6 games (nhl08,halo3,assassins creed,COD4, forza2, elders scroll oblivion). Total cost me about 850$ CAN (thats about 1 million US nowaways). I have sport, action, strategy, driving.

Try to get that on PC for 850. new stuff on PC look awesome i agree, but games like crysis take a BOMB and even then u might get lag. with my xbox im good for the next 3 years (more?maybe , less? doubt it) and no upgrades on the hardware, can u say the same bout ur computer? with the rate videocards r coming out, the best stays the best for about 1-2 month, n games r being develloped on those ones.

I was a PC fan, but consoles THE affordable way, check ur infos.

btw nice vid, but "blabla playstation....bang GTA 3" seems like a rather small GAP there...final fantasy, marathon,doom,starcraft,age of empire.

Wolfenstein for the win!!! die nazis
