  • Went back to playing Rez again.  Still one of my favorite all-time games.

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>However, I was disappointed to hear that while Tetsuya Mizuguchi (Space Channel 5, Rez) was <a href="http://www.computerandvideogames.com/r/ ... ">planning on a sequel</a>, he <a href="http://www.gamespot.com/dreamcast/puzzl ... html">left Sega in October</a>. In that first interview, he mentioned that he basically got the idea for Rez by attending a rave in London that changed the way he saw/hear/felt things.

Honestly, I'm surprised that nobody has created another game like Rez. Electronica is pretty mainstream now, and even having something like Parappa the Rapper style with techno music might be cool. (Though, Rez was more than just the music, but the visual art and synchronization.)</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>My point is that you can claim that any one genre is dead, but it's not. Besides, when I've heard Amon Tobin in a recent BMW commercial, then it's definately gone mainstream.</div>
