Vous noterez que parmi les titres présentés, pas mal sont des titres s'appuyant sur des univers fantastiques, SF ou horreur, donc pas mal d'heures de jeu en perspective pour nous, afficionados de ce genre. Vous noterez aussi que certains jeux ont pas mal fait parler d'eux comme Half Life 2 sur PC, Halo 2 sur Xbox ou Prince of Persia et Gran Turismo 4 sur PS2. Vous pouvez venir discuter de ces jeux sur notre forum "Jeux et Multimédia", des sujets sont déja ouverts pour la plupart de ces jeux (sauf GT4 qui n'est pas dans notre domaine). En bref, une fin d'année 2003/début 2004 qui s'annonce prometteur en terme d'innovations et de gameplay.
