David Edery (whom you may know as the Portfolio Planner for Xbox Live Arcade) has an interesting post up about CliffyB’s announcement on Gears of War 2’s achievements being linked to things you did the original.
This got me thinking about a concept that has so far been...... [view]

Aside from my Achievement addiction , I have a profound love of Magic: The Gathering . Over the years I have abandoned the game, stayed away for several years, and then come back to it, each time harder than before. The last time I seriously got into playing Magic was during the Odyssey...... [view]

I finished playing Assassin’s Creed last night at about 4 am, and I feel decidedly lukewarm about the whole thing.
Marketing
I’ve been waiting for this game for what seems like forever. From the first moment I saw the game, I thought to myself that this was going to be a...... [view]

I love a good plot twist. Unfortunately, most of the plot twists used incessantly in media today are not what one would call good.
The best plot twist is one that is implemented by leaving dangling threads in the plot and tying them into the twist later on. The condition on this is...... [view]

When most people think of SPORE , they think of the character builder. This is something which instantly jumps to mind, putting the power of Maya in the hands of the multitudes. When I think of SPORE (and I suspect anyone who works in the industry), I think of...... [view]

I finished the fight last night (after losing 2 hours of progress by not saving). My friend Reed made a comment about the way I was speaking whilst playing Halo 3. You see, all of the commentary I was making about the game was in the first person. I was saving humanity, not Master...... [view]

A few days ago, Gamasutra put out the eight edition of the annual classic, Bad Designer, No Twinkie .
There is much that is good in that article, and a quick perusal will have you nodding your head at half the games you’ve played. I particularly like the segment on Failure to...... [view]

In the news post from yesterday’s Penny Arcade , Tycho talks about two things that I’m conflicted on: Multi-player being preferable to single player, and the game Overlord.

Whilst I was working down in California this summer, I had the opportunity to see a facinating talk/conversation between Will Wright and Brian Eno . This talk, hosted by the Long Now Foundation , was one of those times in your life where much of what they say haunted your mind on the...... [view]
