Day 12

 

I don't know anymore. I ask myself this question all the time. I've frequently looked for that "Citizen Kane of gaming" that can reach nearly everyone and make almost anyone who plays it respect gaming as a legitimate entertainment medium.

 

I used to think it was Mass Effect (the first one,) now I think it's Heavy Rain -- which is ironic considering I haven't actually played it.

 

But the truth is that I don't believe there is or ever will be one game that appeals to almost everyone. For starters, there are simply too many different ideas about what gaming ideally is. I chose Mass Effect and Heavy Rain because they are more like interactive films than challenge-based tests of skill. However, not everyone wants that in a game.

 

Generally, I stick to my answers. Mass Effect and Heavy Rain provide deep stories, strong emotional experiences and characters that are not easily forgotten. Almost every game could use a little more of that.

Day 11:

Currently 360 occupies most of my time. Up until 3 years ago I was almost violently anti-xbox. "It's not a console" i would say "Its just a PC in a small box, where is its heart". It all changed when I was essentially given one. After playing PC games since PC games have been around, It was a big PC person, and still am.

 

I would say at heart, PC. In practise 360.

 

Day 12: The Neverhood.

 

I have a feeling a lot of my answers are going to be "The Neverhood"

That game is £200!

 

I can't answer today's question as I've never completed a game more than once :unsure: I have enough of a gaming backlog without replaying stuff. I'm the same with books and films too.
