See, I "rented" Bioshock (we can check out games at work) after playing the demo. I loved the demo and I did enjoy the small percentage I got to play on the 360 (it's also safe to note that I enjoy FPS's a lot). But throughout the whole thing I didn't really want to shoot people/things in Bioshock, I just wanted to know what was going on. In the end, I turned it back in the next day...and you know why?
We started playing SNATCHER (on the sega-CD) and all I could think of was the next chance we'd get to play more SNATCHER. (Playing it in tandem with a friend, so two, two, two times the brainpower D:). Still, Bioshock (for me) is awesome and fun, but a game from 1992 won. There are no easy answers in SNATCHER, you actually have to write things down. Gasp! Though funny enough there is still a fps element to the older game to (you play it with a light zapper).
I'm also of the crowd that will play all the current games (played a bunch of junk on the ps3, yawn YAWN, and most of the popular 360 stuff just doesn't do it for me) but I'll go apeshit over a good sidescroller made with pixels.
Cause somewhere in my dreams I'd still love to see someone (anyone? hellooo out there) take the processing power and memory size of the current next-gen systems and make a 2-d castleroid game that uses it all. Hell yes I would play a sidescroller that would take me a gazillion hours to beat. Keembeasts can dream!
