I like fun games. People like fun games. This isn't to say that video games shouldn't push the envelope and innovate, but I like Call of Duty 4. I like the Half Life series. I like Bioshock, Okami, Shadow of the Colossus, etc, etc. Innovation is only second to having fun and being entertained.; Reply to this comment


by oldmanangry July 30, 2008 5:04 PM PDT: No way. People can still almost quote the God Father verbatim nearly four decades after it hit the silver screen. While I think Dark Knight was the best Super Hero movie and quite a good movie, it is nowhere near what the Godfather was.; Reply to this comment
