But that is what is the main problem with the USA, every thing is
eye-candy or high technology and no real new development. If you want
real games look to the UK or the Japanese. Take a look at DVD's now days
for a example ... US Movie (animated like shrek ) - all singing dancing
menues,web site windows downloads and bounus games for your computer and
on DVD 2 you even get the movie. Japanese Anime ( animated - Kiki's
delivery service) you get a great movie in japanese,english or spanish
or subtitled english with bonus material about the movie not last minute
extras.
