It's evident that the hero concept in gaming is slowly coming to an end. We're no longer interested in saving the girl, the world or anything else for that matter. We simply just want entertaining gameplay, and a way to kick some butt it seems.
Gaming, for me personally, is all about achievement. ...

I just love it when someone thinks outside the box for a change. We're already seeing all of these first person shooters packed up on the shelves at the game store.
