Let Me Sell You On Some of My Favorite Games

The formula for Pokemon Snap was: center the subject, get it to fill the frame as much as possible, and have the subject doing something interesting by itself or with other Pokemon. I think it would be really hard for the programming to judge anything else. Artistic merit is so subjective and nuonced. I'm not sure how a computer program could do that.

I gotta find WCII to play on modern computers sometime soon. I wanna play those first ten levels over again like I used to do.

I wish I had gotten Luigi's Mansion instead of Rogue Squadron II on GameCube. I think RSII got really hard at some point and I never finished it. LM I just played a few months ago and loved it. I can't figure out how to replentish your hearts quickly though. It seems they are hard to find or something.

Why oh why aren't there more photography driven games. And why not another Snap game. Make it about all the Nintendo characters, not just Pokemon. I don't understand why a photography loving culture like Japan hasn't done more games like Pokemon Snap.

About teaching photo techniques. I thought Pokemon Snap was fine for teaching a documentary or journalistic style of photography, but when I tried to make more artistic shots by moving the subject off dead center, Prof. Oak would have none of it. It makes sense though, because Prof. Oak just wanted shots to go with his scientific studies, not works of art. It kinda annoyed me a bit though, because I have certain habits from doing so much real life photography. The game ran a little counter to my instincts.

Yea, Hexen has a special place in my heart and especially the N64 version. Funny that I never played it on PC because I did so with all the other games I mentioned in that section. I think it was the dark vibe of the game that hooked me. I still have a vivid auditory memory of the frogs croaking in one section of the game. The sound sample was pretty realistic and in that context, creeped me out. I'm noticing now that I have a thing for dark fantasy: Demon's Souls, the Planes of Oblivion in Elder Scrolls IV, Hexen - all of a piece.

I really want to go through my list of top picks and play them all again to see if they are as good as I remember. Gotta finish Ni No Kuni first though.

I read your blog on it and I'm interested. I did these games from the late nineties because I already presented my current gen favs in another blog. My next blog is going to be about the games from 1990-1994.

I created a female character in Fable III that I ended up writing some fan fic about. She was a total rebel, then went into politics to save the children in the factory, and then became queen only to give it up so she could go on another adventure across the sea. She was a restless wanderer with a sword. Kinda like Red Sonja now I think of it.

Also, Sakura in Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo. Whenever she won she would scream her head off. It's the primal scream of a woman who's just kicked your ass! I loved it.

My first thought too.
