Nolan Bushnell Hates GTA, Calls Halo 3 'Doom in Different Clothing'

GameDaily BIZ reports:

Following his recent comments about today's video games being "unadulterated trash," Atari founder and Pong creator Nolan Bushnell spoke with GameTap Read to elaborate on his feelings about the current state of the game industry. Essentially, he thinks the industry simply doesn't have enough innovation.

In his latest interview, Bushnell said Halo 3 is really "Doom 1 in different clothing" and Grand Theft Auto "values antisocial behavior." Bushnell, who had said the PS3 would be a failure before it was released, also had more to say about Sony's PS3.

The man who created the first commercial video game doesn't hate everything though. He actually praised games from Will Wright such as The Sims and Spore as well as music games such as Dance Dance Revolution and Guitar Hero. Check out the full interview at GameTap.
