“This one may sound like a liberal arts course, but it’s also a computer class”

Uh oh. Wouldn’t want to accidentally take a liberal arts course. =|

I’ve been saying I want an Arkham City game but with TMNT for ages. And Spider-Man PS4 is basically Arkham City but with Spider-Man, so I think we’re onto something here.

Well, you can also make your point better by not being an insensitive asshole. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It’s a very good game, but it’s definitely in its own category of Mario games, along with Super Mario 3D Land. It’s a fascinating middle ground between the sides crolling, get-to-the-end-of-the-level 2D games and the free roaming and exploration focused 3D games.

Glad to see Ninja is still fucking clueless and concerned only about himself.

If he can’t handle having a platform that big, then he should use it to give exposure to people who don’t have the platform and do have the ability and intelligence to make good with it.

I completely understand the criteria you used for this list, because you’re not a masochist, but man, the Sonic Advance and Sonic Rush games are sooooo good. Especially when we get that Hideki Naganuma soundtrack.

Yeah, unfortunately the Nazi punching is perhaps MORE relevant now than it was in the ‘80s, which is disturbing. It’d just be fun to see a new, more modern take on a 1930s anti-fascism adventure serial than another retread of the white savior exploring exotic lands and meeting exotic people trope. 80 Days is a really…

Try harder next time and finish the job so we can all be spared your edgy cynicism. ^_^

I’ll be honest, the only Indiana Jones video games I’m interested in are old LucasArts style point-and-click adventure games.

Besides, I think the whole Indiana Jones franchise needs to be phased out. Its callback to 1930s nostalgia was in line with the mainstream cultural trends of the 1980s, but that kind of slavish…

What do you mean? When has that ever really affected Apple? They don’t make products that are competitively priced to capture the largest possible share of the market. They market their products as premium experiences to a large minority of consumers that want to feel more elite than the people who buy the less…

Hard agree about Peter. I get so excited when I see his byline on pieces. Not just because they’re well written and insightful, but you can tell his love and passion for what he writes about.

Hades IS really good, but we’re bordering on Undertale levels of overpraise that’s going to end up biting the game in the ass. I’ve already seen it happening on a small scale.

What does that have to do with Kentucky Route Zero, which definitely isn’t a “walking simulator.” It sounds like you’re the kind of guy that thinks if the game doesn’t go shoot shoot bang bang it’s a not a real game. And if it makes you think about stuff? Forget about it.

KR0 challenges the notions of what interactivity in a game means. Typically we expect it to be the player moving the plot forward, or choosing branching story paths to follow that have moral or narrative impacts.

I’ve noticed a lot of home LED light bulbs do the same thing, I’m assuming to prevent people from getting disoriented by the sudden change in light.

I think you’re overestimating how much an indie developer gets to pick and choose the publishers they work with. If you were in the same situation, you might not have been able to be so principled.

Spend your money however you want, I don’t care, just know you’re gonna get some critique for it if you put in on a public…

This is like someone’s top 10 movies list being all Marvel movies.

Seems kind of crappy to not support an independent developer because of something the co-publisher did. =/

Well, the series infamously ends with the dinosaurs NOT holding up, but agreed.
