Good article. Nice to see you can do more than rant and swear lol. The disconnect between narrative and gameplay in Infinite never occurred to me while playing but you're right, it is definitely there. I guess the problem is that Irrational has refined this great shooter gameplay and they of course want to use it. Dishonored is a good example of a recent game giving the player choice to reflect the narrative in their play style, though even that game is a little heavyhanded about how you should play if you want a good ending. Yeah, the medium has a long way to go.

Ah, the good old days. I feel kind of sorry for today's kids. I wish everyone could grow up with the NES, SNES, and Genesis. Today's consoles are so worried about being a mulitmedia machine that sometimes they seem to forget their primiary purpose is for playing games. I miss that pure gaming experience.

I'm definitely partial to the 8-bit look too. I wish more games used it.

It would have been an even better game if it played like Earthbound lol. My guess is that it had almost no marketing but I don't really remember.

Whoa, sweet collection! I am definitely envious of that boxed copy of Super C. That's my favorite Contra game 

My preferences seem to run like those of the masses. I voted for Alan Wake but my second choice was Mirror's Edge and then Vanquish. And sorry, Julian, but I've actually played Eternal Darkness already lol.

Yeah, it's the kind of game that just sort of came and went. Didn't make much buzz, which is kind of a shame.

No, probably not lol

It's definitely an odd piece of work.

Nice! You are definitely drowning in SRPG goodness lol. And I've always heard Dissidia was good but it was never high on my list of games to get...but that picture with Terra! Got my nostalgic juices flowing (okay, that was a strange metaphor). I'll be keeping an eye out for it now
