I may try it one day to see what it's all about, but it's description and all the talk I've had to listen to on podcasts about it sound so unappealing to me. The idea that a game like Journey wants you to feel an emotion, is just another filmic concept. I like the physical or mental challenge presented by games and the stories that inadvertantly happen. I don't want to have an experience forced on me or be manipulated to feel something. I do the manipulation. That's games to me.

If RE had the smooth feel of Gears, I would love that series. But it's a clumsy experience and I cannot abide an awkward control scheme no matter how good the story is.

I agree. She faces him with no shame or fear. She's confident. She's like "yeah, I'm a woman, what of it. Now turn around."

I like story in games but when it becomes almost the only thing in the game, then I'm watching a movie. That's why I've been reluctant to play games like Heavy Rain, Beyond Two Souls and "experience" games like Journey. I like interacting. That's why I play games. I'm not interested in another passive medium like film or being force fed some experience. I like to make my own stories in games. To heck with the movement to make games like film and TV. I don't know why people have to convert a unique creation like games into the same old thing. Phoey!

She was good in Your Highness, but then I love that film and can see no wrong there.

I agree with that.

Hip hip hooray for retro reviews! Looking forward to reading them.

The movie is so very different from Wrath of Khan except for a few points like in the sacrifice scene. In watching the new one, and I'm a huge fan of the original and have seen it many times, I didn't even think about the original hardly at all. They did a great job at making the story seem very different. I loved it.

He did a good job with Cabin in the Woods. The female lead in that was great. 

I read the Riverwold series of books but not this one. I read those books back in High School.
