I remember when XBLA Games Were $5.....

PacoDG | 22 days 13 hours ago | Blog | PC Playstation 2  | views: 3106
"As I write this I feel torn about pricing of these games. I can’t say I am happy with the current trend of games that has taken over the arcade carrying the larger price tag, but I say that and find myself guilty of working with the enemy having bought games like Braid and Portal: Still Alive. However, it has to come to a stop when something like “5th Grader” gets released at the same price as these gems. Though it is not my cup of tea, I can even defend an overblown flash game like Castle Cr..."

The problem with game criticism and reviews, round 4

chautemoc | October 18, 2008 | Blog | PC Playstation 2 Misc  | views: 5581
"What I think (and this is of course my interpretation; I'm not trying to put words in Leigh's mouth) is that in the case of games that are different in some way (like a new IP, or a sequel from a new developer as in the case of "Silent Hill: Homecoming"), a lot of videogame critics obsess about the small stuff because they don't like the big picture. Here's my best example: "The Simpsons Game." Yes, it had some camera problems and yes the gameplay wasn't too fresh. But it was a parody of vide..."

List of Truly "Mature" Games

Smoke | October 15, 2008 | Top List | PC Playstation 2 Misc  | views: 5651
"Real world definition of "mature": Showing the mental, emotional, or physical characteristics associated with a fully developed person; involving serious thought.

Videogame definition of "mature":
Shits, tits and gibs.

What is adult? According to ratings boards and hand-wringing politicians, the only qualifications necessary are a bucket of blood, a stream of foul profanity and a parade of naughty lady parts. Ironically, the very things that are included to win over immature teenage bo..."

Independent: Top 5 Video Games List

Dark Arcanine | September 21, 2008 | Top List | PC Playstation 2  | views: 2383
1 Wii sports
2 Braid
3 Halo 3
4 Fallout 3
5 Rockband

A very interesting list indeed. Recently a newspaper in the UK named the Independent released their list of the top 50 games of all time, above is the top five.

Their number one choice was Wii Sports, is this a joke? The inclusion of Halo3 makes some sense, but are there not many better games that should've made the top 5?

Braid on PS3 a possibility - But no chance on Wii

ivy06 | August 12, 2008 | News | Playstation 3 Wii  | views: 3504
""PS3 might happen in the future. What's going to definitely happen this year is a PC release. The only reason that's not out right now is because I wanted to focus on one platform at a time," Blow added.

Wii owners, however, have no chance. "WiiWare is not going to happen for this game ... Braid is too big of a game to be downloaded on WiiWare and stored on someone's Wii," he told Game Focus, which makes sense considering the game weighs in at 144MB."

OTG Review: Braid

pWheelie | August 11, 2008 | Reviews | XBOX 360  | views: 2302
""With any artistic endeavour it's easy to slip from eloquent poeticism to haughty pretention when crafting a piece that boldly explores loss, existentialism and love. Humbleness and subtlety go a long way. Jonathan Blow's enigmatic platformer, Braid, is an intrepidly personal game; awash with gorgeous art, brilliant design and, at times, a rather contrived narrative. But perhaps it takes being just a little bit ostentatious to deliver something as strikingly profound and astonishing as Mr. Bl..."

Gaming Verdict awards its first perfect score to Braid

jam_sponge | August 10, 2008 | Reviews | XBOX 360  | views: 2675
"Once in a while, a game comes along that makes you remember why we love this interactive medium. A game that pushes at the boundaries of what videogaming can achieve. A game that is such a self-contained vision, that it takes you on a journey which transcends the controller in your hands."

Shred Nebula is coming to the XBLA September 3rd

Tyranitar24 | August 08, 2008 | News | XBOX 360 Gaming Tech/Hardware  | views: 4083
"With Microsoft in the midst of its month-long Summer of Arcade promotion, the game publisher gave Xbox Live gamers a good look at its hand for August. And between Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2 and the just-released Braid, that hand has thus far proven to be full of aces.

But what about September? Today, CrunchTime Games said that its overhead shooter Shred Nebula would slot into Microsoft's first weekly Wednesday release for the month, touching down on Xbox Live Arcade September 3. Gamer..."
