Agreed. That is the fundamental problem with games today. You spend $50+ on a game and beat it, then its over. I recently played God of War for PS2. It was a FANTASTIC game. But, I waited a LONG time and paid only $20 for it new. After I beat it, I gave it to my brother. I typically only buy games like Tekken or Need For Speed. Those games you can always pick up and play against your friends. There is no end to playing those games.

I think that is why I like PC games better. I mean, take a game like Half-Life 2, I've been playing DeathMatch since it came out. I'm STILL getting my money's worth. Not to mention all the terrific mods for it, like Counter-Strike:Source, Day of Defeat, etc. You can just keep playing it and playing it, all for the same price (well, some of the mods are now costing $20 or so, but that is still reasonable).

One of the greatest head to head games ever was another Super Nintendo game I almost forgot about, it was called Metal Warriors, and it was so much fun to play your friends.



A WarCraft addiction is a whole other story however. My little brother is seriously hooked. I am genuinely worried about him. He even met his first serious girlfriend in the game. There is just something very, very wrong with that...

Games today are like win then done. Then you have to toss them and spend $50 on the next iteration of the same boring storyline.
