At the age of seven, gaming was very much something that held a sense of wonder and enchantment for me, and I guess not much has changed over the past twenty-odd (plus a few…) years. It took a long, hard think to come to a final decision on what I’d call my first favourite game, because there are just so many to choose from. I had a list, and not just any old list, there were about 15 games on it that I played fervently throughout much of my childhood. For obvious reasons, I couldn’t talk about every one of them now – we’d beRead More →

Did you miss the Nintendo store grand re-opening event in New York City this Friday? Was you there? Either way, here’s how it all went down. The store opened 12:00pm with cutting the red ribbon ceremony with Charles Martinet the voice of Mario, Luigi, Wario and Waluigi. Pretty cool, if the line didn’t wrap around three corners of a block. There must have been over a thousand people and counting lined up to get inside. I arrived at 11:30 and the line was already on the other side of the block. At 12:00 the line slowly started to move, very slowly, as in a fewRead More →

Final Fantasy 7 Remake Before I wrote this I wanted to first see the reaction from other Final Fantasy 7 fans and so far it has been mixed. From what we have been told and Know about the remake, Square Enix will split the game into multiple parts, The reason behind this being the sheer scale of the game and the undertaking they have to take to fit everything in. Personally and this is a view shared by others and not to sound like a ungrateful person, As someone that grew up with the final fantasy series and have played the game through many timesRead More →

Final Fantasy 7 Remake Hits E3 Yesterday at the E3 SONY hit the world with a very large bomb shell which rocked the hearts of millions of Final Fantasy fans worldwide, myself included the original Final Fantasy 7 was launched back in 1997 on the Sony Playstation and was greeted very well by the gaming community due to the cinematic and the story arc which it presented to gamers. Granted Final Fantasy 7 did have its draw backs which had its downside, this was mostly the battle encounters with monsters on the plains which were pretty erratic in most instances Eight years ago Sony launchedRead More →

Really Ubisoft? Small and straight to the point and kind of a rant which I try and avoid a lot for those that have played Assassins creed during the last three instalments will know about Ubisoft and their practice of in game purchases where players can use money to purchase gear and other in game purchases to unlock certain perks and assets (essentially a pay to win), don’t get me wrong most these had little impact on gamers who used pay to win. So recently I came across of a screenshot on reddit where a user posted a image from one of unbisoft latest games,Read More →

Marcin Iwiński takes aim So in the last few weeks Marcin Iwiński has released statments about The Witcher 3 and about the future of DLCs and will be releasing 16 free The Witcher 3 DLCs for the game. This is a great stand that Marcin Iwiński is taking against what has become the norm of day one dlcs, or DLCs for games which are released a few days later for gamers to purchase. an example of this would be overkill and their overkill on DLC, I do appoligise about the pun overkill going overboard on DLC its something I wrote about a few months backRead More →

What makes you want to tear a characters tear ducts out and make him wear their small intestine as a bow while you let the children of the village play stick-ball with his liver? Good writing but more directly that the character has harmed the player in some way; and if that character has harmed the player in some way he or she is an antagonist. So how do you make a good antagonist? The key is show don’t tell. A great example of this is in Saints Row The Third in which the game opens with the antagonist killing your friend Jonny Gat, bankruptingRead More →

Good Vs Evil I Was Recently reading a post on Reddit about the choices most game developers implement into their games and how it effects the game and the users experience. So I thought I would write into this as I have come across many games which follow these principles, ranging from Infamous to the current release of Watch Dogs. The reason I use Infamous as an Example first is due to the fact I believe it was implemented quite well where the actions of the Protagonist (lead character) actions actually effected the story and his own abilities to the effect you had to chooseRead More →
