    Storytelling In Video Games

    There's a difference between storytelling and narrative. Story or plot aren't necessarily the most important aspects of a game but they combine with characters, environments and music to create the game's narrative. Part of the evolution of games in the last few generations involved involved...

    I think we can give Daniel Day Lewis another Oscar

    He's good, but he's not THIS good... http://youtu.be/MIt0VY7Yg2w

    Skyrim Dwarven Ruins explanation

    Because, at the end of the day, it's fiction and doesn't have to have an absolute continuity in order to be enjoyed.

    Poll: Which is Game Of The Year?

    At the risk of sounding like an obsessive fanboy ready to defend Gears at the drop of a hat, I feel that anyone denying the impact the series has had over this console generation to be just a little silly. The first Gears of War started the online co-op revolution that inspired dozens of games...

    Should a game be judged by its own merits or with a reference point?

    You can't look at a game and judge it solely on it's own merits: if that were the case, how do you set the benchmark for what is good in the first place? Perfect example would be Duke Nukem: Forever, a game that would probably be considered one of the greatest games of all time had it been...

    Poll: Which is Game Of The Year?

    You state clearly that this post is intended for public opinion, yet a rather obscure PC exclusive RPG overshadows one of the most recognizable and influential series of this console generation? I call shenanigans.

    Can't try that game

    I'm in the same boat: the only reason I don't own a PS3 is because my brain can wrap around the idea of spending $300 on Uncharted 3. Despite the 360 and PS3 having only a handful of exclusive series' (not counting downloadable releases and backwards compatibility), I feel the Wii is built...

    Poll: Which is Game Of The Year?

    I'm sorry, but The Witcher 2 made the list but Gears 3 did not? And Skyrim is the answer to this question.

    Totally Terrible Tagline

    I think Hollywood has officially hit the wall. The only decent movies I can think of this year are Transformers 3 and Captain America, neither of which is an original idea. Now they're making a prequel to Planet of the Apes? I'm glad I'm a gamer and not a film enthusiast because we're swimming...

    Have you ever had to do somthing in a game that made you feel "uncomfortable"?

    I'm sure numerous players are going to cite this if the topic catches fire, but "No Russian" was perhaps the most uncomfortable moment in gaming history for me. Granted, the scene depicted had a number of important thought-provoking themes over the question regarding the value of a single human...

    Some good DS games.

    Depth isn't something handhelds are really known for. In fact, I'm opposed to many handheld games having too much depth because the purpose of the handheld is to play on the go, in a short controlled burst of entertainment when needed in a situation such as a line at the bank or waiting for a...

    Spiderman

    A films quality cannot be measured by simply asking who is in it. Would Raiders of the Lost Ark have been a good movie if Harrison Ford wasn't playing the lead? Probably, but it would have been a much different film. Despite Toby Maguire having already been cemented in our minds as the film role...

    Looking for a new anime, but the is problem I hate most animes.

    If you're a gamer who's slightly interested in anime, I would strongly recommend you transition with titles like the Dead Space movie or Halo: Legends, both of which are available on Netflix. Another underrated gem I recommend to anime fans is Elfin Lied, although it contains an excess of...

    Skyrim Wishlist

    I'd like to see a few elements from Fable, like customizing houses and having a variable impact on the game's economy. They already confirmed marriage as a viable option, so hopefully the conversation system and how character's begin to like you will actually improve. Lastly, an improved faction...

    Poll: What did you think of Transformers 3?

    Had some fantastic action sequences, and you have to be a real cynic if the plot was a deal-breaker. It's a movie about giant sword-fighting robots based off a toy series from the late 80's, plot is practically irrelevant. My biggest complaint was that the 3-D was lackluster and not really...
