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.
