Is it me or is the gaming market getting a bit rubbish?
As I approach my 30th birthday, I sat in my study the other day looking at my ageing gaming collection and thought to myself that I've not actually bought a new PC game in quite a while. In fact the last game was a present and that was COD4 (great game btw!).
However, I seem to just play the same old games over and over again. I've got a PS3 with GTA 4, etc on it, but I still love to play a good PC game. So recently I've been playing in no particular order:
- Hitman Blood Money: Seeing how many ways I can kill people
- Max Payne: Just re-installed this and put on the Kung Foo mod which is pretty good fun as it feels as if you're playing Neo from the Matrix lol!
- Command and Conquer 3: Not a massively old game, but fun nonetheless.
However, I think back to the days when I'd really game heavily and play games like Carmageddon, Doom, Wolfenstein 3D, the original Counterstrike, Red Alert, adventure games like Sam and Max, Monkey Island and The Day Of The Tentacle, etc.
I don't know if it's just me ageing now, but all the PC games seem to be these online multiplayer things like Warcraft, Starcraft, etc, or stupid things like The Sims. Where have all the decent games gone or am I just past it now lol?
I still remain hopeful that the next Hitman game is going to be good and in the meantime, I'll just keep digging out my classics and playing them
