    "Gone too was the memory of The Angel Of Darkness, the catastrophic sixth instalment that all but killed the series." Duncan, you mispelled installment.

    Now, we laugh at the graphics back then, but they arnt that far off the (graphically embarassing) Wii :)

    i guess ten years from now we'll all look back and laugh at how angry gamers got over the most trivial things, or it will be worse. I can always dream

    gamings changed so much i can still remember the cheesy 90s goodness of the super nintendo. Does Anyone remember the Spice Girls Video Game thank god they never made another piece of crap like that in 10 years Xbox 360 RULES!!

    "Unreal has evolved to power dozens of AAA titles, from Bioshock and Stranglehold to Mirror’s Edge and Splinter Cell." Is it just me or does one of these not belong?

    damn things have changed

    You know what's funny? Back then, we had sucky graphics, almost no online, systems as big as the tv (literally), and touchy controls. But we still didn't complain. Now you have all these fancy high-tech quality games, and you have these little kids complaining. Everytime I hear one complaining I make them try Pitfall or Centipede. They hate it. I don't see why they were both perfectly good games. Stupids.
