I'm a designer at Bizarre Creations in Liverpool. I've been in the industry since 2001, through two console launches and multiple platforms.
This blog is my foray into the world of games design, my opinion on the industry, and some good old general chit chat.
I disagree completely. The level is there to provoke an emotional reaction and generate buzz. From what I've seen of it, it does both remarkably well. I found myself playing the FPS in a way I'd never played before - NOT shooting where possible. It was full of hard choices ...
I've heard of it, and it's a decent game - but the PSP is rife with piracy. I feel sorry for these chaps - it's horrible to have your work ripped off, no matter what the reason.
Hope they do well Simulator X got good reviews and there's been nothing decent since: http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/pc/microsoftflightsimulatorx
