"I'd like to thank you for describing my exact thoughts on the VGA's. Yes, it sucks that gamers cannot trust the mainstream media to accurately portray the video game medium, but I think the more we draw attention to it, and the more people who become aware, then we have a bigger chance of saving gamers from this type of deception."

"First off, I must say I this is something I feel very strongly about. I agree 100% that video game culture began as a safe haven of sorts for outcasts. Kind of ironic when you look at how many people we're casting out ourselves. The public in general doesn't take video games seriously, so how can we ever get ahead if we don't take each other seriously?"

"Maybe a bit of restructuring is in order. Anyway, thanks for the critique."

"Thanks. I've had to re-insert that pic a handful of times before, so I think I better replace it entirely."

"1. Future games do have a fair chance of a price drop if they turn out to be download only, like you said, no distribution costs. However, judging by how companies have acted in the past, it is likely that the will still charge $60 or more, seeing as though there are no competitors.
2. Sources say that the first player to own and play the game would be that copy's designated owner. Now, if the ISP's were down, we can't really be sure what would happen. That's a good point you have there.
3. Your'e right that online games currently fall under different rating pretenses, but if games were to be online only in the future (with no disc drive) that would also count for all major releases. In other words, all full length retail games, including their single player campaigns, would be download only."

"Alone in the Dark is a great game, but I wanted to narrow the list down to 5 so I had to leave a lot out."

"I agree with you on that one. I used to love the old Tomb Raider games but the series sort of went through a rough period in the mid 2000's until the new dev's took over. The new ones (Legend through Underworld) brought it back up to speed. I was thinking about mentioning it in the artilce but I figured it wasn't current enough."
