Majesty 2
Published (2009-11-28 01:06:00)
At $10 on Steam today, it was too hard for me to pass up. I just sunk two hours into it, and it's really sweet. I didn't expect it to make me chuckle either, so consider that a pleasant surprise. I don't know if I'd recommend it for the $40 regular price, but damn am I happy I jumped on that deal.

Serious Sam HD
Published (2009-11-26 22:45:00)
Only played it for a short while. But it looks like it's really Serious Sam First Encounter with better textures, and improved models for the monsters. The levels appear mostly untouched. The bobbing is still as extreme as before (really looks weird now). But there is one thing which sucks, 5.1 support. The sound positioning is really shit. I bought it for 10 pounds from Get Games , which is a better price for this game than the $20...

Quote: Erkki : But isn't 'interactive story' a subform of game basically? For what it's worth, I do not think that it is. I don't even think of it as a game. In my mind, storytelling like that has amazing potential and calling it a sub-form of gaming would be doing it a big disservice. That's a whole 'nother can o' worms, though.

Passage wasn't really an example of that quote, it was a more general example where I think a message through a game can be more effective than through other medium. Quote: OssK : but I don't see how it's [Little Girl Who Nobody Liked] in any way a message from the game desinger. The Pigeons game was a better example I think, though the gameplay was still only making dialogue choices. Do you mean you don't see it as having...

Quote: But I think in games the designer can also talk by forcing a choice on the player where the choice itself is a message, or choosing either path might reveal a different message or show a different perspective of the same overarching message. So if this is the quote these games are exemplifying, I would have to object that Passage does not really propose any choice, it just builds a world in which you live an experience and then you...

Hi! I think about this a lot too. As I've said, enough times that I'm starting to feel like a broken record, the biggest single limiting factor on the expressive range of most games today is that so many - even the most magnificently constructed of them - are about the Shooting or Stabbing of Faces, on both the metaphor ("Pretend you're shooting people in the face") and simulation ("We ...

I'm fairly sure that site only bases its conclusions on a simple comparison between your hardware and the publicly known requirements of the game. You *should* be able to run Dead Space, but for some unknown reason, you can't. It's likely a simple configuration error. Perhaps a faulty driver or the lack of some inane piece of software. This is the not so uncommon burden we PC gamers ...

Well, you can go either way. If you have a lot of time on your hands, please be my guest and make a game that is, as Heavy Rain is and as a lot of adventure games are, entirely context-sensitive. But, on the other hand, you could look at Farcry2, a game lead by some pretty intelligent people and ask, how much of that is context-based ? How much of what I am doing, seeing happens once in the ...

Dragon Age So, can someone tell me why Bioware's marketing push for Dragon Age has spawned some of the most generic, boring, spectacularly crap trailers ever? 'Cause I am utterly stumped.
