2nd the quality of games, quality nowadays is far to be found in PC games, mostly they come half done, and contains more bugs then a cat that has flea's.
and if you know that most games now are for short term...spit out of the pipeline to keep you busy for a week or 2 and then forget about it. or the games that have been overdone too much and only ruin your old day memories IE Command and Conquer.

also the strong point of the game,
most games I see nowadays are about graphics, I dont say its bad..but storyline and gameplay suffer from it.FPS that are too movie like, RTS games that give little challenge as the AI is predictable etc etc

there is thought 1 publisher I follow with its RTS games, and thats blizzard. thought its fantasy I'm big fan of their 2 well done game series Starcraft and Warcraft. from 1994 I played those games, and their sequels where very well done, you could see they put a good amount of work in it to make it worth buying immediatly. they give you a good campaign story line, a good gameplay and lots of fun online, and also they put some good sense of humour in the game, in cutscenes or when you for example excesivly click on a unit it start to say different thing towards you.

Spot on. Yea Blizzard FTW. There games are always stable. Alot of rumors going round that Blizzard are going to make a Warcraft movie no doubt in my mind it will be a hollywood hit.

If they ever take someone to court for that, I hope that person says "Okay, justify for all of us, your £16 for a music CD, when you can purchase blank CDs for 25 pence and burn things on it using commonplace programs (admittedly larger scale) and package them cheaply?

They'll give you some crap about "Oh we have to pay royalties to the artist" last time I checked, that wasnt nearly as much as would be made with those prices.

Physical music media is dying, there's no doubt about it. Its all mp3s and iTunes now, gone are the days when you couldnt find that one Eagles CD and moped for a whole day before realising it was in your tower stereo with record turntable.

Back to a serious note...

If they are so stinkin' worried about illegal downloading, why don't they grab the pedifiles who are in the chat rooms more aggresively?

I have a 13 year old son who I don't allow to use an internet computer unless I'm right there with him and do the research for him. One wrong word in google will return a bunch of crap. In fact, he was in a little bit of trouble because he was doing research at school on the army. Well, google images came up with those extreme sports women in bikini's shooting high powered rifles. He was banned from the computer for a few weeks because he didn't close the window quick enough...probably because a boy going thru puberty would like to look at pictures along those lines.

Anyhow, I've seen current stats of how teens are in the upper percentages of who downloads or watches porn. Why can't we stop that if we're going after illegal downloading of music?
