      I think that the writer is trying very hard to be politically correct here. If I get to write an article then it's gotta have rows of insulting statement about the graphics and gameplay on games like Everquest.
      One point I like is the fact that PSO focuses on co-operation and the phrase "honorable gaming". It's the same concept that made me play Capcom's Dungeons & Dragons (it's an arcade game) for ages.

      and he DID call it a MMORPG, which is blatenly wrong.. its a graphic massively multiplayer chatroom, and a very limited multiplayer game.

      ok, so he was off on the particulars of the series.
      Still, for what it was, (an effort to show PSO and the DC making a leap in console gaming,) it hit the mark.
      I know some PC gamers, (as most of you do,) and the description fits. I have also showed PSO to 2 of them, and had them eating their words of contempt and mockery when they saw the online aspect.
      To write an article on a popular gaming site, calling out PC gamers, telling them (and the rest of the gamers who dont have PSO,) that a online RPG console game is comparable to any of their PC's online RPGs, and to actually HAVE a game that proves it...
      imho i think this is a 1st
      sure, SEGA dropped the ball in several areas, but SEGA and Sonic Team ("WE'RE NOT WORTHY!!!") truly deserves the credit and accolades for a brilliant game.
