Ninja Gaiden II Can't Take Care of Itself
If you ask me, gamers are a notoriously fickle bunch that hop around whatever niche fad is currently popular at any given time, flicking aimlessly around their singular objective like a moth to a flame - only this moth will threaten to kill you and make some sort of racist remark because you said...

Civ MMO, please no.
From a Q&A on Gamedaily.com: 4. I've read about your interest in possibly working on an MMO. What is your next genre of game going to be? Are you going to be making a new kind of game in the future?[Sid Meier's Answer:] I'm exploring lots of exciting ideas right now. A Civ MMO is a really... Read more...

Tempus Fugit
As I was picking up my Metal Gear Solid 4 today at GameStop, I hit the next-door Best Buy which has a great clearance bin that gets refilled with games about every two weeks. I found $5 copies of Hot Shots Tennis (PS2), Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror (PS2), and Sega Rally Revo (PSP) and headed up to... Read more...

Stuntman: Fixed
Stuntman on the PS2 was a clever but flawed game. It provided cinematic moments that you can't get in the racing genre, but lengthy loading times crushed the joy from the experience. Ruffin knew it would appeal to me, and it did, but I never finished it.With Stuntman: Ignition, a sequel on the... Read more...

Single Player is Dead. Long live Single Player!
I'm not an impartial commentator on much, and I won't hide the fact that I loathe Phil Harrison's stupid bald head more than waking up in the morning and finding out that I'm out of milk. So when I'm just casually perusing the Internet and I find out that he's declaring that the single player way... Read more...

Invisiclues were awesome
Why don't today's games have in-game hint systems? Hard to believe it's beyond the capabilities of the programmers.And, not to give away the evil ideas, but why not sell an in-game guide as DLC over Xbox Live Marketplace or the PlayStation Store? For a modest (and I mean modest) price, it might... Read more...

The appearance of impartiality
That's what vanishes when people sign on to do things like this:Nintendo's recent ploy, in the UK at least, is to require reviewers to visit the 'Nintendo Flat' in London, a place where one can book slots to review titles for a period of time (depending on what slots are left over from the...

Super Stardust HD Redux
Super Stardust HD on the PS3 has an upgrade available for $5. It adds a mode called Endless, which is pretty much what it sounds like: endless waves of random enemies and asteroids.Think of it as Robotron: 2084 played on a sphere with continuous waves of random enemies and difficulty that ramps...

Wii-nner, Wii-nner, Chicken Dii-nner!
Doing some trawling through GameRankings, I ran across this advertisement.Now the phrase "wii-nner, wii-nner, chicken dii-nner" won't stop repeating in my head. Argh.I think I'll be able to do without the Wii for a while longer now...Incidentally, links to this page. Read more...

Coincidence of the day
Just as my commentary proposing artificial scarcity is published, Joe Keiser at Next-Gen.biz publishes an interview in which the general manager of Xbox Live, Marc Whitten, says they will begin delisting "underperforming XBLA games".I guess we may get some information on that scarcity issue after...

Oh yeah! Bioshock PS3.
About flippin' time. Of all the exclusives on the Xbox 360, this one was the most frustrating to me. Now it looks like I'll get my chance to play later this year.The other exclusives that bug me are Pac-Man: Championship Edition (which apparently has zero chance of ever making it to another...

Artificial Scarcity in Online Distribution
As a consumer, I hate the idea, but I thought it made for a fun gedanken experiment. Happily Gamasutra liked the idea enough to publish it. (Finally a piece that doesn't have a single graph!) Read more...
