The Gamer's Quarter

Just picked up we cheer and samba de amigo. cheer came with tiny pom poms that i taped to the remote with painter's tape. works surprisingly well in lieu of maracas.

also, art style orbient.

prince of persia : the dinosaur
reminds me of someone from sb describing their ideal sonic game

harvest moon

Well, I can't speak for dessgeega, but for myself Ghost Babel actually reminded me of Boktai or a rough draft version of it and I accepted it as that instead, amused. The music is pretty similar too.

I will take your advice and try again.

I must confess. My only real problem with Ghost Babel, and actually probably a large reason I stopped picking it up recently, was that after a time when you enter the codec to save the game instead o ...

Since I know how much you gals like lists....

Best Indie Art Games as compiled by indygamer.

I don`t know. It worries me that people think art has to be obtuse.
Damien Hirst covered a skull ...

If not here, then where? Let some art fag talk about this crap and feel important?

Anyhow, one thing I have gained from this thread is that the common 'videogame' is not any more junk than all of ...

I wholeheartedly feel Tetsuya Mizuguchi is an artist with a capital A.

And I didn't mean that disparagingly. A want to talk about the crafting of videogames, and it coming up in a thread about "art", I see that as a productive thing and "getting somewhere".

LOWERCASE a = craft. I believe that's what dessgeega wanted to talk about.

how much control can you give to the player before you're no longer able to make an artistic statement?

An artist may ...

I enjoyed that. I just have to say I think it is very important to talk about things like this, that it is not running in circles. Similar to videogames, street art is not very respected in daily li ...

what if your authorial intent is to subvert art through interactivity

I tried Echo Night for ps2 and it seemed pretty boring. The name keeps coming up though, i`ll look into the original while i`m on this psone kick.

To sum up:

exploration/mood atmosphere > violence. I just realized Ico being a quasi-descendent of Prince of Persia fits this Silent Hill thing, minus the inventory/health management. The shadow-things you ...

Hey, I've been reading about Eric Chahi and Frederic Raynal and just sort of re-connecting with this stuff. I've also been playing the original Silent Hill for the first time. It continually occurs ...

Cubivore. I was going to transcribe one of the little poems but haven't picked up the game in a while.

ikaruga, by making color coordination an issue within the game itself, transcends.

muds. text-based adventures.

i hate to expound on a somewhat moot point but 'art' is not necessarily visual. nor is it inherently emotional. for instance, more and more i am growing to see the visual aspect of art, in general, ...

I can definitely see it in fallout, they use that little boy as a sort of retro futuristic icon or whatever, and all of that, how that affects you, is tied up in paper publishing and the charm of an o ...

Six year old girls are cool like The Fonz.

Jump Superstars reminds me: Viewtiful Joe. So that's why I was so excited. Fuck yeah Ouendan, good call. Pretty much any of those early Matsuura games like Um Jammer Lammy if only for the flat draw ...

Other than Comix Zone. But that would be valid. I've just begun Vagrant Story and really love the comic book-style cut scenes, and it leads me to wonder what other games adopt this look. Hotel Dusk ...

about Ocarina: It was very good at the time. When i walked up to the church, and it vaguely looked like something from Final Fantasy 7, in my impressionable youth I remember thinking "this is nintend ...

also, Skies of Arcadia. I never figured out if the message attached to the balloon held any relevance.

beyond good & evil

Wish I could check out carcassone, see what all the talk is about. that said, i`lll definitely pick up hoshigami. i've been waiting for a ds srpg. wish there were more of these. seems a crime the ...

Yes, well, I would like to begin. You are right -it doesn't make a lick of sense to start with an errant friend code list, nonetheless I do not appreciate necessarily having to add extraneous informa ...

I have a question: Is this thread about sharing one's friend code with the good folks at gamer's quarter? May be obvious, but previously my code has been deleted, i suppose, at the behest of the mods ...
