 ick. crossbows. I have never seen one single game that had 
well-implemented arrows.. it always seems like you're shooting laser 
beams than real arrows. There's usually no *Whonk*, either.. nothing like 
shredding your enemy with a shotgun blast. I'd like to see a completely 
original game with EVIL enemies/scenes. The post-holocaust idea is good, 
but it's been done SO many times before. I'm getting very tired of 
monsters dripping of flourescent green ooze slobbering all over 
themselves in games. It's no fun killing a deformed beast.. I'd rather 
line up a perfect, divine creature in my cross hairs and blow it to tiny 
bits. :)
