I liked this article. It takes an interesting spin on the 360 (note the analogy - spin...360...I'm so clever :) )

Anyways it talks about how most of the "new" 360 games are actually recycled versions of games that are already better. To quote the article:

"How much more incrementally fun is Ridge Racer 6 than Ridge Racer 5, or even the original Ridge Racer?"

This, and many other points made in the article, are interesting. What happened to original games? Why do we have these games that span I, II, III, IV and even further?

And what of the gameplay? As the author of the article notes, with some of the really old games there were dozens of different ways to complete tasks, yet with many of today's games there's only one.

It's really worth the read 'cause it gets you thinking:
