Rovio finally moving beyond Angry Birds

The #1 revolution I want to see with mobile gaming is for devs to imagine another level structure apart from copying Angry Birds. Not every game needs to have various worlds broken into ~20 stages each with 3 stars to collect.

it seems that its either that, a farmville clone, or tower defence. its almost as annoying as the constant glut of shooters for consoles. originality people, originality!

Quality should be more important than originality. Having both quality and originality should be even more important than having just one of the two.

bah.. ive been playing games for well.. since video games were invented. my first system was the intellivision and then atari.. you know.. way back in the day. there are thousands of high quality titles out there to play. it doesnt matter how high quality it is if its constantly the same thing.. eventually it gets boring. Its like watching Lord of the Rings 3000 times and each time Frodo is wearing a different costume. Neat for a few times, then its just.... bleeeh.

Th Intellivision was my first console also... lmao. It had a phone dial-pad and a whirlly disc for the terrible controller. I even bought the "Intellivision Lives" game on Xbox Live just so I could experience those games again. I found out that those games were much more fun back then. They shoulda been left in the past. As a gamer, I'm totally on board with originality over anything else. Everything has that "been there, done that" design to it. It's all the same no matter how many coats of paint you slap on it. It seems these companies are all trying to play it safe by beating these franchises to death instead of exploring new ideas. Sometimes I feel like all the original ideas have been used and it's always gonna be rehashed crap from now on :(
