Seems like a neat place for a boring day at work, or if you just are not sure about a game.

Unless of course your workplace has websense. How I'm able to even come ...

I also hope they don't go down the MMO route, as I point blank refuse to be sucked into online gaming. That, and I can't get broadband where I live.

Well, I would agree, being that I used to be a M ...

System Shock 2 - marvellous game. This kind of gameplay has never been done as good as this. I don´t care if people like Deus Ex better. They must be wrong. Sold it. Bought it again. Lent it to a frie ...

Deus Ex: Invisible War.

yeah, I did play the Genny version first. Actually, no, I played the pen and paper first. I always felt that the Genny version did a better job of portraying the P&P game, so that's probably why I ...

The guy who headed up the Crimson Skies team came by my old school(Full Sail) once upon a time. Since MS owns the FASA properties a friend of mine cornered him with a question about Shadowrun. He simp ...

Treasure already made a Gradius.

...

Shinji Mikami's been making Zeldas.

This is a little different, though. More like a... tribute album or something.

Wow, that's awesome. It's kinda like an idea I had a long time ago for "Game Covers". I would love to see designers make someone elses game to see how it turns out. Like, let Kojima try making Metroid ...

Quick question, as I am home sick today and can't concentrate too well, is PN03 a platformer? Bucause I love that game... I would get into a full conversation about that game and it's merits and downf ...

No Rayman 2 love? For shame...

Probably my favorite platformer to date. I just dug it out of a box of games I had been neglecting to play through it again. I was distracted by Guild Wars though. Oh ...

Wait and Devil Tuna just came out. How will I have time for these games?

Next time I goto a sushi bar, Im soooo asking for Devil Tuna.

It's from Breath of Fire V, Dragon Quarter. If you haven't played it yet, I highly reccomend doing so. And it's cheap!

hehe, yeah it's in my pile of shame actually. Maybe I'll finally pul ...

SuperWes: The banner between BoFIV and the monster thing(Resident Evil 3?), whats it from? Its achingly familier.

On another note, I'd like to do a Flashback banner, but Im having the damndest time ...

Hahaha. Where was this at? I've probably seen this very same kid around town. There's quite a few kids like that at Country Side mall.

*sigh* I used to WORK at the mall so I know what you mean. It ...

What program you using?

Anyways, I have a feeling your really going to enjoy Issue #2... really.

Well, I code in C++, mostly using MFC. Though, thus far I've just done simple puzzle games... a ...

classical stuff. platonic, even.

questions of a philosphical, ethical or religious nature. or situations forcing people to ask those sorts of questions without having to resort to hand-holding. an ...

The Microsoft Keynote at GDC this year was all about "the HD generation." The basic theme was that the games of tomorrow will be bigger in all ways. They'll require more art assets, more development ...

I'm not terribly fond of the man myself. Though I enjoyed Boktai and the second Z.O.E. I'm not sure what roles he played in the making of those games. Both were terribly entertaining though. No.. I'm ...

Those peope who are trading their DS's are kind of being stupid. But I guess stupid people need somethiing to do. I like my DS, while I don't like the overall design.

Let me tell ya about stupid.. ...

Wow, I like all the great responses.

ApM, that Mario Battle article was very interesting. Though I'd argue that the interactive environment presented to the player wasnt an actual game, and that t ...

Ok, I think I have my plan of attack down:

PSP System $250
Ridge Racer $35
Metal Gear Ac!d $35
Darkstalkers $35
Wipeout Pure $35
Timesplitters 3 (PS2) $45

Total =$425

I guess I'll use th ...

Hah! Go for it.

Are there certain defining characteristics that separate a game from say, a movie?

participation?

The thing that seperates it from the movie is that I am forced to become an active participant, ...

I think maybe I didn't phrase the question correctly then.

I guess what Im saying is, strip a game to it's core elements, and what do you have? I find its usually something that requires atleast o ...

Yeah, this might seem stupid, but I'm kinda curious what individual people cosnider to be the essential parts of a game. Are videogames just interactive entertainment, or is there something else that ...

Its story time!

I had to take a class on behavioral studies, and we had a class about the responsibilites of the creator. The essential theory was a social responsibility where it's, "the neighborh ...

First I wanna know what the song is that they played? It sounds sooo damn familier.

Secondly, that game looks(sounds?) damn awesome. ...

Well, I have a bunch of things I wanted to post, so instead of several threads, I decided to do an editorial type thing since, while being seperate articles a common theme still runs through them.

I have no idea what this Band Brothers game is, but it sounds interesting.

It brings up a point that game companies don't really seem to exploit thier retail space enough in America. The only time ...
