Personally, I don't think there's a lot of explaining necessary for the site since most of that was taken care of in the title. However, if you happen to be one of those people who think things like 3D polygonal adaptations of old favorites happen to be cool, I'll try to go extra slow for you. Fan Scene is not only a web-site focusing on games and systems that didn't take the mainstream by storm, but it is, or I should say will be, an on-going testament. And that is, no matter how "highly evolved" a hobby like video gaming becomes, no amount of glitz or flash will ever replace substance. We as gamers are all too aware of the "band-wagon" mentality of the mainstream video game player (i.e. tending to purchase whatever is popular this week with little to no regard to the quality or lack thereof of said product), and it is, put bluntly, a very sickening thing to see. While 2D gaming is as dead as collecting pogs in the eyes of the mainstream consumer, we at Fan Scene like to believe that it will always be what true video gaming is all about. However, we also believe that not all 3D games and next-gen systems are automatically shit. There are good games being made, but there are literally hundreds of places to hear about them, and some can and will be talked about here. But mainly, we will focus on two great systems that not only are still fun to play (even by today's "hefty" standards), but the games that set standards that after ten or so years have yet to be surpassed.

   Fan Scene offers you reviews, thoughts, opinions, and commentary by the fans for the fans. Unlike advertisement driven video game magazines or web-sites, Fan Scene will not pull any punches in letting you know what games are worth your hard-earned money and time to find. Any button-masher can waltz into an Electronics Boutique and slap down money for the latest over-hyped and mass-produced glitzy piece of eye-candy, but how many people will know the experience of defeating Galam after a long and adventurous quest? How many people can say they've heard " I'll chisel your gravestone, sleep well...", and feel the butterflies in their stomach grow with each word? You can bet no where near as many who drooled over the triangular tits of Lara Croft, and that's a sad fact.  

   If you've found your way here, this can mean one of two things. You're either going to know where we're coming from and hopefully get a kick out what you see, or this is going to be a new and potentially enlightening experience for you. We hope to cater to both. Enlighten and entertain, all the while having fun with what we do.

   For now Fan Scene plans to update when new material becomes available from the contributors. However, if you know where you're coming from on the subject of video games and you feel like taking part in this, please feel free to submit what you got. Again, this is a site for the fans by the fans, so the more fans the better. And if you choose to write anything don't be afraid to write about something that may have already been covered. Different perspectives and opinions are always welcome.

   So now, kick back, relax and enjoy the ride. From us to you, thanks...
