		<description><![CDATA[In these days and times of big dollar gaming, i ask the question WHERE ARE THE GAMES?]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>First before the rant, a little about &#8220;Michael&#8217;s Friday Night Rant&#8221;. My rant is a weekly column of sorts where I unleash my rage on whatever is in our way in the gaming world. These in essence are the problems of the gamer. I seek not just justice but also revenge on those who continually make our gaming life short of perfection. This week we’ll start of slow(as in a slow rant, usually it will be much more aggressive and faster paced) with the problem of finding a new game.</p>
<p>I am not by any means a complex creature, feed me what I want and I will love you for it full stop. So in the days and times of a computer entertainment industry that is larger than the movie entertainment industry I wonder where the good games are and why they aren’t here more often. I have not bought a new PC game since Half Life 2 and I had that on pre-order. Last few weeks I have been searching for a game to fulfill my needs but alas, I had no savior. No company out there cared enough for me to provide a game that I could honestly want to buy/install/learn/play/win (it is a long process owning a good game). I admittedly tried WoW but I need an end in sight, a tangible goal my friend suggest level 60 but  I am not playing for 180+ hours just to reach a number that is straight crazy. So there I was money in hand but short on ideas.<br />
<a id="more-23"></a><br />
So I began my net/magazine/word of mouth search, a campaign of epic proportions that is it would rival man kind search for the meaning of life. Step 1: Choose a genre what sort of game do I want, well as my WoW experience told me, it isn’t a never-ending game I am looking for, just something I can play for an hour or two once a night. So as much as I like the hack n slash RPG( am I the only one who thinks of Doom’s RPG (rocket propelled grenade) every time I hear RPG) genre, I was pretty much looking at a FPS or RTS. I scoured reviews, battlefield 2 was the most likely contender after the game from the makers of Unreal, and Pariah looked like a flop. I then had the demo, sweet eye candy delivered all it was supposed to, but it bored me the game played slow after dying it took too long to get back in the action for me.  So that was basically it for major releases even as I speak now theirs no real new FPS out to consider so then came Step 2: forget Step 1. With that done, I began looking for any game that could hold my interest however I ended up in that all to common conundrum all the games I wanted were yet to be released even though I hadn’t purchased one for what seemed like ages. So then I expanded the search to consoles, handhelds, f-ing web based games. Surprisingly web based games I do play quite regularly there is the www.treadon.us game which is a Dope Wars game online, a much more advanced version that Beermats cult classic. The other one where you and some friends(or strangers I know you people are loners) are shown a picture and write funny captions for it and then vote for the best and the winner at the end of seven pictures is the one who scored the most votes.</p>
<p>So here I write before you today, with Fifa Soccer and Advanced Wars DS on order and still no new pc game for my speed blistering system. So I ask , no I appeal to the decency in all of you to help me help you find games that are truly worthy of mine and your time. Feel free to leave suggestions in the comments field, and during the course of the next week I will look into each one. If you find a gem, I will (try depending on availability in Australia) to get it and review it for next week or at least report on my experience with it. </p>
