| Wtf? Erm.. no. There are serious graphical and obvious gameplay differences between Generals and Tiberium Wars. There is no way its using the same engine.
Instead, C&C 3 is using the same engine as the Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-Earth II (God thats a mouthful). Flag this | Edit this post |

| | This isn't really gaming related. I liked Star Trek: The Next Generation but thats it. If you want to add Star Trek to your gaming article, how about review a Star Trek game or Star Trek's impact on the games industry (Star Trek was a HEAVY influence in the science community). Also, it is imperative to have proper grammar and spelling. Mozilla Firefox 2.0 offers a spell-check, not as good as say that of Microsoft Word or other word processors, but enough that a few silly spelling mistakes can be avoided.

| Wow... Well, my original intention with this article was for it to be an amusing read and not an established viewpoint or argument but I have apparently succeeded with both.
What I have written is an exaggerated (although valid) viewpoint from that of a complete and utter noob. Actually, I have played WoW way before the demo disc with the 14-day trial was in my possession.
I love WoW a lot but it does have some flaws, of which I have mentioned in my article above. World of Warcraft and likewise MMORPGs are very fun and exciting for the first few levels (say 1 - 30) but after that, it becomes the same old thing. Kill Subject A and retrieve Item B if available. Sometimes I have to kill the same creature continuously until one of their body parts drops. And don't Murlocs have two eyes?
Fortunately, developer Blizzard Entertainment made a wonderful expansion named "The Burning Crusade" that offers two new races with their respective starting zones (which are extraordinary and highly exotic IMHO). The quests found with the new content are more original than that of vanilla WoW, even though said examples of such repetitive tasks still exist.
As for my highly flawed opinion on FPS games turning stale, I highly mis-phrased what I meant. What I meant to say was that after playing the same FPS game for many years, it turned stale and boring. There are many different types of FPS games such as run-and-gun games like Quake and Counter-Strike, Sea/Air/Land combat games like Battlefield, tactical/squad based games like America's Army or Ghost Recon/SWAT 4.
The games I mentioned (among others) have brought innovation to the game industry but is the clones of such innovative games that make it stale. Its the lack of NEW innovative games and the constant playing of the old innovative games that makes the genre stale. This is why I am hoping Quake Wars, Halo 3, Crysis, Bioshock and all the other upcoming FPS refreshen everything.
This is just my humble opinion and feel free to criticize it.
And by the way, I am a huge fan of TBS games like Civilization and Galactic Civilizations. I am also a fan of RTS games and hopefully sometime this week, I'll get the new computer I bought from Newegg (nVidia GeForce 8800gtx > nVidia GeForce 4 baby!) allowing me to try out Company of Heroes and future games like Crysis.
I actually don't spend a lot of time playing computer games. I read, go to work, do some exercise, etc. Flag this | Edit this post |

| lol Thanks guys. Actually I have been playing WoW for slightly over a year now. I had tons of fun with it too but now it is hopelessly boring with a lot of repetitive leveling.
There needs to be slightly a little more innovation or at least something new in FPS games because I have been playing them since 1993 with Doom's release and so far, the only thing that actually changed are the graphics. With exception to ground land and sea warfare games like the Battlefield series and squad-tactical FPS games and realism FPS games like America's Army. But after a few years of continous play, it turns stale. Flag this | Edit this post |

| Lol damn. >_< I was trying something new in my writing such as adding some sort of personality to my usually drab, plain encyclopedic articles. I tried to dumb down my vocabulary usage into some sort of personal/informal (and I guess unprofessional)type of writing.
And it was late and I was high on caffeine... Give me a chance and I'll redo it. xD Flag this | Edit this post |

| | I don't get it... why are people paying other people or buying other software to play a game instead of playing it themselves. Isn't the whole point of the game is to play it, enjoy it and not zip by it for the sake of zipping by it? Flag this | Edit this post |

| Wtf? God never said anything about being rich is being a sinner and being poor is gonna get you saved. Believing in God and having a good soul is what is gonna save you. And I know many rich ass Christians.
Anyway, the game sucks horribly and is acting more like a jihadist thing than an actual Christian game. Flag this | Edit this post |
