New software technology's and original game mechenics, those are what keeps it all interesting.
When i started gameing these things exploded, so much that a second version of games where running on entire different engines.

More of the same story telling, more of the same mediocre explotion physics, and so forth render a game boring.
Physics fresh mechenics and original play mechenics i say!!!
NOW BRING IT!!!
