I think casual players are a real problem with this. I mean i have been talking to people in my class that don't game that match and the only thing i hear is Call of Duty, Angry Birds and more.

that`s why most of the games I buy are jrpgs.

I thought it flowed pretty well sure there are stupid moments and plot holes but I still loved playing through it.

Heavy Rain? He said "well"-written. As in good.

As in not a total clusterfuck.

Ah, so this is the humble beginning of Daniel Floyd on Youtube. Awesome.

UPDATE SINCE : Check out - "The Walking Dead Game, from Telltale Games". It's amazing! And has the emotional impact we were craving, in my opinion. Hurray!!!

This was an incredible presentation. Very true. Simply explained. And all around great.

I really liked that risk picture~

you know i've done some writing of books and i've gone over the idea of writing games

it's hard you have to have a to action scenes you can make an awesome movie or book with only 3 fight scenes is easy but most games require 10 to 800 action scenes wrap your head around that for a minute

The song reminds me of Boys In The Band by the libertines.

Heavy Rain's dialogue was utter amateur trash. The story is decent though.

The same with MGS series.
