Astro misunderstood what Nolan meant, it happens. If you place yourself in his shoes, it shows how that assumption could happen when a gamer reads the words, and not the meaning, and in turn defends other gamers right away. What he means is that because games nowadays take so much more effort to create something new and attempt to do so much more than just "shoot people" like some classics would. While you look at it as Nolan meant his words from a technical standpoint, where games are simply extensions of each other. So you can both be right. Anyway, we're just blogging here, we never pretend to have the end-all opinion, so your generalisation is pretty shallow in that regard. In fact, if you read around our blog, you'd notice we usually try to stay neutral and welcome debate. Hey Paul, show a little compassion. Astro misunderstood what Nolan meant, it happens.

Most games are evolution, not revolution. But it's not a Doom clone per se- it's Wolfenstein 3D. MMOs have just taken EQ's format- text box, 3D window space, etc, and ran with it. GTA is just more of the same thing they did with a game called AUTODUEL back in the 2-color graphics days. Running around in a car, gunning down pedestrians. At least AUTODUEL did it in a mad-max type setting, though the black and white blocks hardly resembled anything. The guy has a point. You didn't manage to counter even ONE of his statements, instead simply pointing and laughing. Typical idiot behavior, I would say I'd expect more from even a pseudo journalist, But I was in the grocery aisle yesterday and I lost all faith in journalism. :roll: Actually, he’s right.
