Tired Of Saving The World

You're preaching to the choir, Mr. Lomberg. I can't imagine the type of person who feels real emotional investment in the Master Chief or Army Guy #3,783. Video games today remind me of something Roger Ebert said about movies:

"I believe the more specific a film is about human experience, the more universal it is. On the other hand, movies "for everybody" seem to be for nobody in particular."

But then, that's the cost of games that have... well, a huge cost to make. If only developers had access to consoles that wouldn't demand such a staggering return investment, they could be telling more specific, personal stories.

END OF LINE
