Dear Esther – Interactive Art Or Innovative Game?

January 24, 2012 | | PC Features

You’re going to hear a lot about Dear Esther this year, if you haven’t heard of it already. You will probably hear about it as the object of scrutiny in a renewed debate about what makes something a piece of interactive art rather than simply a video game. Although I cannot solely decide what makes something art, what I can say is that this game is beautifully created, and perfectly remade.

Rumor: Microsoft Ditching “Microsoft Points”

January 24, 2012 | Spizz | PC News

A recent report from Inside Mobile Apps has spawned a rumor that Microsoft’s method of converting real currency into virtual currency may be going extinct by the end of 2012. Microsoft points may soon be a thing of the past, and this news is likely welcome to those of us who have to do actual math to figure out how many points we need to buy to purchase digital content. The rumor comes by way of a statement regarding purchasing content on Windows phones, which, considering the current level of connectivity between Microsoft’s phones and consoles, it wouldn’t come as a surprise if this rumor was confirmed sooner rather than later.

There are two things I like. Naked women and Fallout. I had been aware of the D20 Burlesque show for some time; they do monthly performances where attractive women strip out of nerdy outfits, and this month their theme was “Dystopia”, complete with a piece based on the post-apocalyptic dystopian game Fallout.

Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City – Preview

January 20, 2012 | | PC Features

Repetition in videogame sequels is naughty. It can lead to boredom and has the potential to ruin aspiring titles and our wallets by displaying a clear disregard for innovation. While Resident Evil 4 completely reinvented the series, Resident Evil 5 seemed to be pretty much the same game with the exception of certain enemies who appear to have been injected with a vast quantity of class A’s rather than Las Plagas. This left many gamers questioning whether the series might turn into the monotonous drag of “Same game, different characters”. So how have Capcom answered these worries? They’re pushing down the trigger on their recliner couches and putting their feet up, handing development of the next title to Slant Six Games. Operation Raccoon City is not Resident Evil 6, but rather a new installment in the series.
