Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom has a lot to answer for. Surely that is the inspiration for the mine cart level. I do like a good mine cart level.
Escort missions. I wish escort missions would fuck off! I fucking hate escort missions! And driving bits in first person shooters. If I wanted to drive about in a car I'd play Gran Tourismo.
Halflife 3. Not Halflife 2 eppisode 3 but a full blown new entry the series, with new enemies, awesome graphics and new weapons including a portal gun. Just think how good it would be to open a portal above a group of combine soldiers then chuck an explosive barrel through with the gravity gun. Hahaha!
I agree with everything in this article, I desperatley want Bioshock 2 to be as good and as inventive as the original but I know it wont be. I will still buy it though as it will probably be a decent shooter.
