Not Every Game is a Sequel

Posted by Zonk on from the some-are-franchises-too dept.

Earth Wind and Metal writes "In response to a recent article from the Guardian about the lack of original games, Siliconera selected ten brand new titles set for release in 2006 to keep your eyes on. Five of the games are new to the USA and the other five are making their world debut. The list includes the robot house sim Chibi Robo, sandbox mecha RPG Steambot Chronicles, Taito's DS cooking game Cooking Mama and of course Okami." I am *really* looking forward to Okami.

    Arguing about vi versus Emacs is like arguing whether it's better to make fire by rubbing sticks or banging rocks.

    The PC games market is dead, remember? Well, except for MMORPGs...
