The computer games market

Is it just me or has the computer games market gone pretty flat recently ? im finding myself spending more time playing the same online games which have been around for ages (EVE-Online and CS:S) rather than going out and getting something new and different, purely because there is nothing to get

Last game i bought was C&C3 Tiberium, completed it, got bored and sold it on.

Just been looking at the market of upcoming games and i dont think theres anything that looks interesting in the next month-2 months.

Whats going on?! there used to be a something reasonable being released every month or so!

To open this up further, what games are up and coming that people are looking forward to?

Its mainly the big players in autumn. Crysis, UT3, GTA. The games market is always quiet in summer.

you'd think they might try and cash in on all the school kids who are about to be leaving school with not a lot to do with their time though?

think im gonna try Overlord 2bh, most people seem to be enjoying it and i used to love Dungeon Keeper 2 which apparently its quite similar to

Just makes me wonder why i bothered buying a £280 gfx card and theres now nothing to challenge or really do on it, other than play old titles

same the only games I play

i guess the reason is the same as me, CS:S is different every time you log on, and you can chill when playing EVE or you can go all out PVP... quite diverse :/

i cant see why they dont make a sort of dongle for usb and with every game that comes out you put the dongle in to install then after that you can take it out , because downlaods would be useless without a hardware dongle authencation, this would solve piracy

anything on the dongle which authenticated itself would be downloadable and you could place it on your own pen drive or similar. without making the thread about piracy we all know these guys just sit there and love creating work arounds.
