I saw this on Slashdot. It's an interesting read. The guy makes some good points.

Unfortunately there's been some great games that never caught on. Take Majestic from EA! for example. It was truly unique. You played yourself, putting together a puzzle that gaves you clues through instant messenger, dummy companies websites, and even calling your cell phone with threatening messages.

Ahh the joys of waking up to a death threat at 3am.

Such a great concept, but the following on it died shortly after 9/11 and it was cancelled

I was already on Episode 3 & everything.

If EA made it I am glad it flopped. That company is a blight on the entire industry. They should have stuck with console sports games and nothing else.

Its too big for my moniter. Im too lazy to figure how to see it properly. Whats the article say? I for one dont buy many games anymore accept Hitman. Id buy a good warships style game if it was available. The games suck today.
