Comment In: Gamasutra Best Of 2011: Top 5 Overlooked Games [News - 12/19/2011 - 12:23]

That would be a great ...

That would be a great move for Ubisoft it would definitely be worth 15 on Steam, just like the other recent DS port, Might and Magic Clash of Heroes.

Comment In: Moral Ambiguity and Choices in Skyrim: All Setup, No Payoff [Blog - 11/24/2011 - 09:50]

Yes, there is a point ...

Yes, there is a point during the main quest-line where you have to get both sides to agree to a peace treaty/cease fire it only pops-up if you haven't picked one of the factions though . However, much like any other decision presented to the player, it does not have ...

Comment In: Apple Most Influential Company To Video Game Executives, Says Survey [News - 11/03/2011 - 06:11]

Reading something like this just reinforces my opinion that the term 'Game Industry Professional' is slapped on a way wider demographic than it should be. Looks like it's becoming a cool thing to say about oneself and everyone wants in on it.

I am seriously amazed by the amount of backlash this announcement has produced. It's like the RealID fiasco all over again. Hopefully this time Blizz won't back down, because this auction house feature is a very neat idea. It doesn't only hamper illicit gold farming/item selling activities, but also gives ...

Awesome list. Though I find 'The Writer's Journey' a great book, you can't really go reading it before having passed through Joseph Campbell's 'The Hero with a Thousand Faces'. Going to grab Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi's 'Creativity' now, thanks. Oh, and you should totally read this one, 3 The Design of Every ...
