I started playing newest RTS game "World in Conflict". Which got really high rating in game review sites ( gamespot 9.5 !) . But it was a crashing experience. The game cannot be played (rather hangs) if U have more than the "low" detail which is rather confusing as I have a decent Video Card.
The game is good & seems to be a normal RTS, I'm sure it does not deserve a 9.5 rating... No Way ! Best thing about the game is the Solid story line which depicts a world war I/II type of a scenario. And the visual FX used to show mushroom clouds and bomb explosions are innovative.
But as a whole, most games nowadays are a bit boring. They have better graphics / visual effects which most of us casual gamers cannot see b'cus of low end video cards most of us have. nevethless the concepts are still the same. Most genre's like FPS (First person shooter) , Real time strategy (RTS) have similar or rather common story lines. We need something more.. diffrent concepts to surprise the gamers & take them to another level. This kind of out of the box thinking is not seen in recent years. Therefore game developers need to do more creative thinking and come up with different concepts rather than sticking to the same old stuff.
