Everytime I pick up a game to play I feel guilty. I spend 60$ (CDN) and I know it'll only last me a few weeks and instead of playing that stupid game I could be programming or learning something new. So recently I haven't played any games at all in 1 month. I feel alot better.
Plus the quality of most of the games now adays is fairly poor. I'd say I can't enjoy games as much because they are either rushed off to production and they haven't been fine tuned to meet the requirements of the average gamer so no one can enjoy these games to their full potential and it may be aggravating some into not playing games at all.
I think the multi monitor trend is catching on. I hope to see some really cool inovations in gaming with the multi monitor display. Especially now that they have plasmas that fit 2 screens in one. I'd like to find out what Nintendo's DS will be capable of and correct me if I'm wrong... But I keep reading that the screens will overlap. But I'm always seeing mock ups by the community of the screens side by side... Is it supposed to be side by side or overlapping?
I currently run 2 monitors not for gaming but for webdesign and programming. One is a 19inch monitor the other is a 15 inch. I run the 19 at 1600x1200 and the 15 at 1024x768. No good for gaming but I can check how well a website works at different resolutions and program on the big screen then check out render on the 15. I'll never go back to a single monitor.
Personally I think the anti-cheat software programs are a bit of a hassle. I wish more developers would take the time as Blizzard has to create their own gaming environment online where they can moderate what's going on and ban cheaters.
If someone did the same thing Blizzard has done but made a buisness out of it and hosted games from different developers and let those developers moderate their own games so that they can ban the CD keys of cheaters then I think we'd see a decline in cheating
Wait a second... That's just like Xbox live...
