This is true but many of them very fast games (like game/3 minutes or 5
minutes), which IMO aren't very useful. Of course eventually with fast enough
hardware game in 3 minutes will equate to what game in 90 minutes is now. But
with current hardware I think 3 0 is too fast to give good play and this was
even more true several years ago.
