No, I put a lot of emphasis on what had influenced or changed the

deep game play.
Examples of such games in the past, say, five years...?
Can you give examples on any platform for the past 5 years? The only
thing I can possibly think of is the cover system in GoW, apart from
that we seem to be toggling along with stuff from the last decade.

The DS and Wii platforms themselves are innovations in gaming.

Yeh not really the *core* gaming that you keep mentioning.

Mass Effect, designed for a console and ported to the PC, was a
revolutionary game with regards to story telling.

Not really. It's a very good game but play through the whole of Planescape Torment.

Guitar Hero and Rock Band...

Again, not really *core* games. You could argue that they expanded what core gaming is or you cold argue that they are competitors for board games.


I said it wasn't a *console* port. When you say something is a -blah-
port that means that it was ported *to* -blah- from its original
platform.

No it doesn't. The term "console port" is commonly used to describe a game that has been ported to the PC from a console. Well find out just how influential the wii was in a few years time if Natal is still around.

As for Crysis and Spor, Crysis speced its
self out of the market and Spore, well, just wasn't that good.

And it was one of the biggest, most highly anticipated PC exclusives
in a while. It was supposed to be the game that marked some sort of
return of PC gaming.

Was it? Nothing I ever read suggested this.
