The Hypocrisy of Innovation
by Scott Forbes
"It seems that more and more frequently I play a new
game, thoroughly
enjoy it, and then get gripped by the urge to see
what others think about
it. Thus, I find myself on any of a number of game
review sites only to
find that this game I loved is mocked, disparaged,
or just generally hated.
Now it's not uncommon to find an RPG that I like
that others do not, or even
vice versa. In fact, it's not my complaint that
these games are not loved
by all. However, I do find the most common reason
for disliking a good game
to be foolish, and at times even totally
confounding. This is, namely, the
fact that the game has no innovations; it's just not
original enough."

Editor's Comments
Today's update includes a single editorial. Thanks to Scott Forbes for sending in his opinion. Things have slowed down a little in this column over the past week, what with all the TGS news flying around. However, I expect the section to pick up its previous pace pretty soon.
Have a nice week, and come back for more next Monday.
