Allosaurus Rex is someone who does video game narrative analysis, and does a damn fine job of it in my opinion. He's criminally underrated, and I recommend anyone reading this to check him out!

Oh, I didn't know that. Good on them. I just assumed it was still there, and didn't care to look.

Dear Esther had some fantastic visuals and amazing soundtrack. It would have probably made a very compelling short film or short story, but I don't think it used the interactivity inherent to video games effectively, if at all.

Both Multiplayer and Co-Op just don't do it for me. I rarely ever use multiplayer (Spec Ops: The Line, Tomb Raider, Mass Effect 3, Metro: Last Light, etc.). I can't help but feel like tacking multiplayer on a game matters to sales. Even if it does, the effect is probably not worth the...

I really liked it. In my opinion, Fumito Ueda is an outstanding artist and designer. I played through the game in one sitting and found myself genuinely immersed and attached to Wander. Near the end, I was feeling sort of weary and exhausted, mentally; like I was just going through the...

Yes, you're absolutely right! Governments using Communism have in the past taken away peoples' rights to control them and killed millions of people. Whereas Governments using Fascism have, on the other hand, taken away peoples' rights to control them and killed millions of people. (I get...

What threat? Which school did he threaten? "A school," is not specific enough for a threat. "LOL, JK" is actually an excuse, because it shows sarcasm/that he was joking. It's an important distinction because there is no longer much grey area in regards to intent, especially on the internet...

What you just wrote here is supremely fucked up. He gets to be punished, his life ruined, because of someone else's reaction to something he said? No, no, of course intent doesn't matter. It made ME feel uncomfortable. Fuck him, and fuck his life, I didn't like that thing he said. Also...

But The Last of Us rarely tells you how to react or feel about stuff. It doesn't really go "You are bad because you did bad things." It's a lot less heavy-handed and perhaps that's why Yahtzee didn't appreciate it.

Well, I didn't get it from Steam, but the best deal I got was Sleeping Dogs from GreenManGaming for $11.50. They even gave me $6 of on-site credit (that I didn't expect), which I used to get The Book of Unwritten Tales for $1. I don't know if the $6 credit was a glitch, but I'm thankful for...

Spoilers about Off inbound. It's a great game, and it should be experienced. Sorry about the wall of text; there's a lot of stuff in this game. I'm really happy to be discussing it :D

There's this game called "Off". It's a French game that was made in RPG Maker, and it's FREE! It was recently translated into English. It's a surreal experience that has both comedy and horror elements. It's truly a special game, and I implore anyone looking at this to check it out. To...

GTA 4 (360, Steam) Prince of Persia: Sands of Time (PS2, Steam) Prince of Persia (360, Steam) (Shut up, I like that game) Fallout 3 (360, Steam) Super Meat Boy (360, Humble Indie Bundle) Braid (360, Humble Indie Bundle) Psychonauts (PS2, Steam) I guess my brain is like, "Why would you...

This right here freaked me out when I first read it, because my name is also Alex. OT: My nightmares are traditionally combinations of several different "inspirations." I've had a crazy one which was basically a mix between Silent Hill and *Insert Zombie Game/Film here*. I also had another...

My favorite of those 3 is Journey, but Fez is brilliant, too. I don't know about Trials, because I've never played HD or Evolution. Really, it depends on what you're looking for. Journey is a short experience that you won't ever forget. I've played it several times through, and each time...
