I know that I have gripes with many game developers but a few just stick out like a "Nintendo thumb" :-). Well, on with the list. 1) 989 Studios - They made one decent game in my eyes: Syphon Filter. But leave it up to those Schmucks who ruined Twisted Metal to ruin another good franchise. Also, have you seen their sports game commercials? The graphics on those suckers look like they're running off of FX-Chip technology... sheesh! 2) Titus - Imagine the possibilities with the Superman license. You could have a totally immersive city where you had to stop petty thieves from stealing from old ladies or something more grand like saving an airplane from crashing into the "Daily Planet" building. I thought of this myself and found it to be an interesting idea: Superman, Crazy Taxi style. You are Superman (or for the four characters, one of the four special supermen that came about when he died) and you get money (or something) for saving people from falling rocks, trains, and lasers... the possibilities are endless... but instead we were stuck flying through rings and throwing cars into buildings where they would just stick to the walls... thanks Titus. 3) Acclaim - Granted they have done some impressive things over the years and have certain franchises that just have a way of hitting the spot (Hydro Thunder for instance... now that was refreshing). But a majority of the home console games, at least that I can pull from the top of my head, are quite lacking and seem to be stock games. Just rehashes of older ones. Yes, they have done good things but stuff like Turok 2 just needed, well, a little more work in the graphics and accessibility areas. That's all I can think of for now and I know that Acclaim really isn't that bad but I'm interested in hearing what you guys have to say about this. Agree? Disagree?

He is the richest man in the United States. There are other people on this planet that have much more money than he does. Think OPEC and you've got a nice list of people with more money. Bill Gates is an incredible mastermind when it comes to doing business. That more than anything is what made Microsoft what it is today. Windows isn't all that great, it's just the best option for most people. As far as X-Box goes I can't say anything for sure (but then, no one else can either) but taking history into consideration... Microsoft doesn't lose when they decided to take something new on. They beat out CP/M, Lotus 123, Wordperfect, OS/2, MacOS, Netscape, etc, etc, etc. Only once has MS lost and that's when they tried to compete against AOL with MSN. I've read many articles on console sites written by hardcore console gamers that say that Microsoft wont have games they like. No, Microsoft wont have anything like we've seen from Miyamoto. There may not be a whole lot of RPGs (at least not as we think of them on consoles) either. But take a hard look at the PC gaming world. Hardcore old school consolers don't have to care about X-Box for it to become a big thing. There are millions of people out there that dont care squat about console games and would love to have an X-Box to play the type of games they've been playing on their PCs. It's a whole Hell of a lot cheaper to buy an X-Box than a $2000+ PC for games. Plus MS has promised that the X-Box guts will stay the same for four years. Sounds good to me, as a PC gamer who buys a $250+ video card every year and a new CPU, mainboard and RAM every two years...just to keep up with the games. MS is also thinking ahead where Nintendo isn't. *IF* Nintendo doesn't have DVD support and online gaming in mind NOW then they're gonna be seriously hurting in a few years. The game systems that lay down the groundwork for online gaming today will be the only ones around tomorrow. Nintendo repeatedly states that they just wants to make games. Fine with me, but if Nintendo isn't careful they may have to swallow some pride one day and make games for another company's console.
