I'm on far too many of these sites, from ign and gamespot to... it goes on and on

Thanks, Simon, Joelle.

as you can see I'm a PC gamer, unlike you peeps... my last console was a gamecube and after that was stolen I stuck to PCs (yup, they left the PCs and the NAS, stole the laptops console phones and mp3 player)

If I go by my wishlist I'll be playing on my PC a lot more than my Xbox in the future. Although I've not got a PS3 my PS3 games wish list is growing and growing. It's getting some decent games now, shame the prices is still a little too high. Hopefully they'll be some sales in the New Year.

I have 6 boxes of PC games, and now so many in electronic only form. I cant really justify buying new ones until I replay some of the barely played ones... If I add consoles to the mix again it'll just reach incredibly wasteful proportions

Hehe, I've not played anything besides SIms 3 on the PC for many years. I've got a load of demos to play: http://ff.im/9Y9Z3 and will definitely get back into it when I get a new gfx card (currently one is knackered :-().

I used to really follow what was going on, in mainstream and indie, play loads of demos, keep a whole site of news which others followed to find the hidden gems etc. Then at some point it lost its magic. Partly I did several years in a startup with too much work and no time for play. Too many games promised lots and delivered shiny but unimaginative games - too much focus on super duper realistic graphics and to me, besides the "whoa cool" moments, they have on average tended to take away from gameplay rather than add. Even some of the big games of recent years were like that, to me they seem to have shiny expensive graphics but then it's cheap gameplay (esp. to add difficultly through "more" or "bigger" instead of adding depth and complexity) and cheap "immersion" (soap opera emotional strings etc.) - you get impressed by the graphics but the gameplay leaves you with this "hmm, seen it all before done better". And you cant trust the reviews, so many come out really good only admitting later that the game kind of falls flat after a week or so (and written by people who did not play the "before" games to go "hang on, this is not any better than X from 1999, gameplay wise"). But reviews are written after about a weeks play, and games know it, so they build up like a souffle - impressive if you dont come too close or try to poke it. So I hesitate to shell out on hardware etc. since I'm not sure they are actually worth it (heck, they could sell me a game that is "1 week or 2 of exploration, then move on" but they would have to charge 20 not 40)

sorry, that was my cranky old lady moment hijacking your thread

LOL, no worries, Joelle. :-) I have started following the likes of GameSpot UK, Edge and MCV/Develop (industry papers).

Clark, it's one thing signing up, it's another continuing to use them. I try at most things to see what they are like, only about 5% are regularly used thereafter. :-)
