The Many and Varied Games We Play

foghorn666 writes "Forbes.com has posted a sprawling special report on games, which tackles the subject from several angles, looking at everything from gambling to playing games in a relationship. There is, naturally, a lot on video games, including an original episode of Red Vs. Blue and a funny piece on the dangers of Warcraft addiction. Particularly cool are the interviews with video game luminaries like Peter Molyneux, Sid Meier, and John Romero. Even Duke Nukem came out of hiding to answer a few questions."

These guys again?

I don't really care who these people are or what they have to say. They put out some nice games in the past? Fine. Give them their gold watches and early-retirement their asses to make way for some new ideas.

Sid Meier, in particular, seems to be getting "Isaac Asimov-ish" in his old age; putting his name on lower-tier dreck just to collect a check. ("Pirates?")

Nothing but hype

Particularly cool are the interviews with video game luminaries like Peter Molyneux, Sid Meier, and John Romero. I wonder when they actually start creating a good game, instead of talking about it all the time.
