My favorites so far:

“If you go to E3 and you’re not depressed, you’re really not paying attention. I mean, three-thousand identical, noisy, crappy… With, like, five good ones you have to spend three days seeking.”

and

“Most of what we play is as interactive as a roller-coaster. And that’s not good enough.”

and

“Clearly, if what you see in games right now, even in the best games, is all we’re capable of doing, then I’m getting out of the business. I don’t know about the rest of you…there’s so much more we can do.”

Hear hear. I was feeling ok about the current state of games for awhile- and now I've returned to my cynical self. That's a gppd thing.
