The JRPG is a venerable and well respected genre, having survived almost unchanged for decades and supported by a community of hardcore obsessives that drool over every statistic and sweeping, globe trotting storyline that comes their way. Japanese Role Playing Games were made famous by Square-Enix’s legendary Final Fantasy series, which made turn-based combat, leveling […]

Shadow of the Colossus’ controls are an exercise in art
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
The "videogames as art" movement is a funny thing. Artsy wooks like myself love to wax philosophic about the potential that games have in terms of narration or eliciting meaningful, emotional player responses. We laud innovative game designers for forcing us to make morally ambiguous choices about ourselves and the characters around us. Unfortunately for […]

C-Bloggers know JACK of No Trades extremely well. Each week, JACK posts multiple pieces of 3D rendered works that seemingly take him little to no effort to do. His pieces range from videogames to everyday objects such as cars. It’s not just a weekly post either. No, he posts multiple times a week showing off […]

GameSetLinks: The Andy Crane Show
Category: | Leave a Comment
Leave it to UK Resistance to dig out an ancient Sega promotional video with UK children’s TV presenters fronting it - and us to link it, of course, cementing our reputation as top journalistic GameSetLink-ers.
In slightly more sensible news, there’s some fun ARG goings-on, lots of post-GDC coverage of independent games and the widening […]

On this week’s Podtoid, we discussed how much escort missions suck. You know what I’m talking about; when a game suddenly puts a blind, half-retarded friendly NPC in your care and forces you to protect them at all costs while they do seemingly everything in their power to get themselves killed. More often than not, […]
