well I haven't played gpl in a while.... ReVolt is too f*ckin' fun for words, and Driver kicks some serious big-ass boat ass too. I'm so glad someone's finally putting out FUN games that have cool realistic physics. It's all in the physics. watching the driver replays are awesome! it's like watching your favorite old car-chase movies, but with cooler sh*t! And revolt is just beyond fun, and the physics are pretty amazing in that one too. I for one, am impressed with these two new titles.... Hmmm... and I thought it would be N3 taking up my time?..?...?.... I still LOVE GPL, nothing will ever touch it, but It's not so much a FUN game you know? I mean, I have fun playing it, its just more of a challenge/simulation/(can't find the words here) thingy, than a fun game. I hope I won't be misunderstood here. GPL is just a different (albeit equally as good if not better) experience than just sitting down to a fun arcadey game. I wonder if anyone will ever produce a game as good as gpl. Acutally I wouldn't mind if they didn't, I'd never have to upgrade my 'puter! speedy
<snippage> Rather well said, actually, as it touches on the source of many of the arguments that have popped up on r.a.s. since GPL graced our PC's a year ago. Indeed, many games offer more in the way of simple FUN than GPL, and they certainly have their place in the market. But some of us (too few, perhaps?) just can't get e***d over the likes of such, having discovered long ago that work, while often trying, is ultimately FAR more satisfying than play. Vive la difference! Steve B.
