* fondue makes game notes I've identified the following fun things about this sort of game: 1. Blowing things up 2. Mowing down hordes of cheap enemies 3. Collecting shiny things 4. Cat and mouse battles against bosses 5. Chain reactions of stuff getting blown up, caught in crossfire, etc 6. Resultant wrecked, corpse strewn, bullet pocked, etc level 7. Ridiculous superweapons This is WoW? No, WoW would be 1. Numbers getting bigger 2. Paying money to make numbers get bigger
