I agree with Pedrum. It is ashame that the present and future market of
video games in the US looks like it will be made up of mainly 3D games,
baring the few 2D releases like Gigawing, Gunbird 2 and Mar Matrix. Its not
even shooters though, any 2D game is automatically looked at as "old" or
"not with the times". I have even heard of someone over hearing a customer
in EB say "I will never buy a 2D game". I guess people don't like making
decisions for them selves, they just buy what is at EB has on the shelves.
