Koku Gamer - An Objection to Originality. Thanks Ant via Digg.
Let us set the way back machine to 2008. Several new franchises began, some of them were blazing trails into new methods of gameplay and some just provided a shiny new coat of paint. Mirror’s Edge, Dead Space, Littlebigplanet, Left 4 Dead, Valkyria Chronicles, No More Heroes, Castle Crashers, Braid, and the list goes on. I know that some of the titles will bring up some fond memories, while others you will still remain blissfully ignorant of. That ignorance is the point. Left 4 Dead and Castle Crashers sold fantastically, while the others did either decent or remarkably less so.
