    Poll: Poll: What socio-political topic would make for a great game?

    Option 1: The war on drugs While many games do discuss drugs the details of the modern drug culture and the prohibition around them is almost invisible in modern games. Even in GTA the protagonists have a hatred for drugs(Carl Johnson and Niko Bellic specifically). A game that explores how...

    Are games getting worse? Or are our standards getting higher?

    I have to say yes games have gotten worse because of what I call the Wii effect. If a good innovative original idea can turn into a soulless product all quality can be disregarded. The Wii promised us something new but it ended up beating up the third parties(Fil Aimes himself said it takes 1...

    195: The Cutting Room Floor

    I can say I HATE games that try to control you to make the story work. But I can say this sounds enjoyable. I just wouldn't call it a game. As a game it would fail but calling it a movie makes things better

    195: String Theory: The Illusion of Videogame Interactivity

    I honestly disagree with the article. If the player doesn't want the story maybe he won't enjoy being made to watch it? And if you can't trust the player to play the way you want maybe you shouldn't make games? If you ask me the best example of a good story in a game is God Of War. The story...
