a category I'm interested in

Role Playing: 15 17 15 14

fairly constant. With only a slight dip. I don't like too many games anyways. Not enough time to play them. I still haven't had a chance to play the Icewind Dale games.

I prefer a few quality games

Same here btwn work, commuting and being a husband there is just not enough time to play all the games that I'd like. That's the reason I haven't started Morrowind although I love RPG's. Problem with the games I like (RPGs, TBS) is that they all take up so much time!

So long...

Support Apolyton, buy GURPS/ Alpha Centauri

Turn based isn't 'fashionable' I guess. I have to say I don't think the genre will die........hopefully with less releases the general quality of them will be higher.

Full PM-box? Change here!

Well, I am not sure about other TBS games but Civ 3 certainly gave the category a good name if we go by the sales figures. I also know a couple people that would not even think about TBS but after trying Civ 3 out they converted!

Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

Yeah, too much good games, and too few time!!

about TBS, there are still various games being released, for example etherlords II is coming soon, or some nice tank game (forgot the name of the game )... they're just not big budget like DOOM3 or UT2003 etc..

Age of wonders 1&2 are a good example of fine low budget games

Yeah, a few quality games seem to be coming out (or have come out) in 2003: SimCity 4, Galatic Civilisation, and Warlords 4. It's shaping up to be a good year for gamers.

Support Apolyton, buy Civilization III: Complete

Adventure games seem to be growing disproportionately to the interest in buying them

-I would have thought that more RPGs were released than they stated???
