" That is soooo true. ever since the first atari video games were released the market seems to have followed a predictable cycle. one company will produce a new and different type of game and then there will be dozens of cheap knock offs of it until the market is saturated with them and they become stale and boring. For the past 8 to 10 years the big thing has been MMO and FPS games, personally I`m sick of them. Gaming wont be fun again until someone comes up with a completely new and fresh game genre or even better a completely new and revolutionary gaming system. I`m hoping that a holographic gaming system will be in the offing in the not too distant future. “You only need so many racing games, so many FPSs, etc. In other words there is little point developing games when there are plenty of similar games for the same platform out there. ”
