Steve Jobs Voted Most Influential Man in Video Games

[Skott]

"Hey look, a poll! 'Who's the most influential man in video games?' Hmm, let's see... uhh... I don't recognize any of the people on here. Oh wait, there's Steve Jobs! I know who that is!" *votes*

Thinking this is probably how 99% voted for him. The other 1% are Apple fans who just push their fav product. LOL

Have you seen the graphics for games like dead space and Rage on Ipad. i mean for a thin tablet, their actually pretty damn good.

and anyone who enjoys video games is a video gamer...platform doesnt mean anything.

I can't really agree with this sentiment, imo a gamer is someone who specifically sets aside time regularly to play video games. For example, my gf likes to play games on her phone when she's bored but she'll quit it instantly if something else comes up. She considers me a gamer (so do I) but she definitely doesn' think of herself as one, she would never play games for hours on end if she had something else to do, she just does it when she's bored (even though she thinks the games are fun). It'd be like me saying i'm a bowler because I go bowling and enjoy it maybe once or twice a year, or a golfer because I do that every now and then. I consider myself a runner because I do that regularly and make sure I have time for it, and the same goes for gaming.

Only one of them cost $4.95.

Also, none of them are good.

Why pay money for crappy flash-game quality? Aren't people used to getting this less-than-mediocre amateur crap for free online?

I guess not.

I wouldn't pay for any of those games.

One of most influential in computing technological advancements. Not so much in gaming.

Been playing Zenonia & am a bit mad I didn't play sooner. Actually, a decent little surprise. For the $1, I almost wouldn't mind buying 1 & 2. Disappointed I missed day when Amazon had Zenonia 2 for free.
Only disappointment in majority of mobile games is all the bullshit micro-transactions to make any great & speedy advancement through games...
Oh yea, all the ads are terrible too.

Far more shitty games on mobile platform, than there is decent games worth playing though.

I was also thinking of Carmack and Romero when seeing this thread. Heck, even Hollenshead.
