Is this trailer supposed to be cute or serious? Because it's failing at both for me.

It's a fun light read. You can breeze through it in a couple hours and you wouldn't regret it. It won't change your life but it's entertaining, it's badass and moves fast.

The book "All You Need is Kill" is actually an intended homage to video games and the fact that the player gets as many tries as he needs to beat it. Unfortunately there is already a Best Video Game Movie. And nothing will ever defeat it.

Sure. My point is she probably didn't invest in mutual funds with the money she got from Herbie and Freaky Friday, and money flies away if you aren't smart with it. People have the impression that actors are all rich but few of them are. When they do a movie they get paid in big lump sums that they are either smart…

The updated sprites look worse than I remembered, but better than it actually was. That is the horrible truth that no one wants to accept.

Yeah, it seems like they had really big plans but not enough budget, hence tons of dungeons with recycled assets. I admire what they were going for - a 3rd person beat-em-up Diablo, with Zelda/Prince of Persia-style puzzles. That is a great idea on paper. They just didn't quite pull it off.

I really doubt she is sitting on a pile of money. She's not like the Kardashians who inherited an unlimited supply of money in the form of trust funds, real estate and stock bonds. She got a lot of cash from acting years ago and then stopped working and used her savings to buy a lot of drugs. I'd be surprised if…

Exactly this. The world was so interesting and I wanted to explore it more, but the plot of the game is just so shallow and there is very little sense of accomplishment. You'll spend an hour on a dungeon to complete a task, and instead of being rewarded with evolution, you'll watch in horror as that task just gets…

My frustration with Bioshock Infinite was that, for all its pretentious heady meta story ideas, it didn't really affect gameplay. There is absolutely nothing novel or deep about the way you interact with Bioshock's world, which makes all those big ideas ultimately shallow window dressing. Same goes for the…

Oh god, that electric guitar is soulless white noise. He either used an incredibly cheap solid state or he just ran it directly into his recording device with no preamp and used digital effects. Either way it's a crime.

Dead Kel is really great, it's a proper expansion with a ton of cool new features and a fun pirate theme. Teeth of Naros is awful, unless you like running through endless repetitive copy+pasted dungeons for hours.

What's important is that game studios seek out feedback from female audiences about the character designs. Women may very well enjoy playing as sexualized characters (case in point, my wife loved Sucker Punch, she thought the characters were super cool kicking ass and looking fabulous) But developers should take an…

John Carmack is building a virtual reality machine. I'd say it's a good day for gaming.

I know it's a small thing to get all in a tiff over but... the squealing violins leading up to an orchestral crash followed by music box lullaby... is so annoying. It's the new record scratch. Please stop, marketing people. I'm begging you. It doesn't even make sense in this video.

Same here. I have an unhealthy obsession with any game that encourages you to be fashion-conscious.

If you're treating games like film, then yes Bioshock is a good example. But I think MoMa only wants games that offer an interesting or thought-provoking way to interact with the game world. So it basically does come back down to mechanics.

I agree BUT Shadow of Colossus actually does have a lot going on under the hood, as does Enslaved... The key is good art direction + good tech support; the 2 actually have a very interdependent relationship. Sometimes lazy tech can cripple ambitious art direction, and aimless art direction always results in dull and…

I will not fund any C&C game that does not feature absurd live action cutscenes.

For me it's more that each of these settings makes for really compelling historical fiction without the need to muddy it up with futuristic/mystical gobbledygook. It feels like it's there because hey, every game has to be sci-fi/fantasy somehow! Historical fiction is a treasure trove of good premises for interesting…
