I think many games lack a good story line these days and I think the reason is that most games have a basic outline that just doesn't allow a good (funny) story to develop... look at shoot 'm ups, they are based on shooting and shooting only, lately they implement some puzzles in those games and even a bit of a story line, like with Medal of Honor, but these games just don't have room for comedy... the fact is that games like the old adventure games are not made anymore and its almost all RTS or Shoot 'm ups and some are arcade, but these games mostly have a story that develops outside of the gameplay... with that I mean you play a level and when you beat the level you get more information on the storyline to bring you to the next level... sometimes these games have some sort of comedy, but that's mostly in the shape of a stupid or silly character...

The only game-type (in my opinion) that still has a bit of room for comedy, but lacks to use it are RPG games, since adventure games are no longer made except for a few exceptions, the RPG game is one of the only game-type left for comedy and I doubt they will really use it !

I still don't see why the adventure game-type should be dead, since there are a lot of fans out there screaming for new adventure games and to be honests I dislike the 3D adventure game ideas that are around now... I think 2D adventure games still have a future, but then again I'm no specialist in marketing and request/demand kinda things... I just like programing and playing adventure games!

Man... I really hope they'll make another larry version someday... AL LOWE WHERE ARE YOU!!!
