A: Well, yes...and no. Though, I'm glad you (who does not want to be named) asked.

I'm tired of games that are mere pandering. While I probably will buy any game with a Zoids logo on it, I'm going to be disappointed if the only thing it offers is new zoid pictures (though I would definitely like those). Like any franchise, even gameplay heavy entries like first-person shooters, players want something to consume beyond the titular goods.

I am, in a sense, tired of playing the same GBA games. It's been years now, and they were never meant to provide such extreme lengths of gameplay.

I find the gamecube games a bit tiring because the multiplayer doesn't appeal for long to my friends without zoids knowledge. I'm still glad they exist, but like their GBA counterparts, I've about played them to death.

What I'm not tired of is the zoids themselves. The relatively recent HMM line has done a pretty amazing job of wowing me. Not to mentioned, there's a special place in my heart for all of the amazing custom models that I see.

I'm also still firmly in love with Zoid's potential in terms of both gameplay and storytelling. They've pulled off serious and grim (http://www.comicvine.com/spider-man-and-zoids/4050-37825/), light-hearted fun (NCZ) and wartime dramedy (CC/GF). To some degree, it's because the general tag is used across a multitude of casts and settings that it looks so flexible, but that it works in all of them is nothing to brush aside.
