I cried the first time I held a Nintendo 3DS. The experience was a revelation that I'll not soon forget, and even if everyone stopped making games for it tomorrow, my blue 3DS XL is not going anywhere. That little machine is a window into a part of human experience that most people take for granted, but which is otherwise inaccessible to me.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Is Ocarina of Time as legendary as I remembered it? For the most part, yes. In spite of a handful of missteps — a few obtuse puzzles, some tedious backtracking, and a clunky stealth sequence — I don't believe the last 23 years have been unkind to it. Ocarina remains a brilliant example of the medium, a landmark game that shaped the future of its own franchise and 3D gaming in general. After more than two decades it retains its inventive dungeon design, challenging puzzles, dynamic combat, wistful storyline, unforgettable music, and empowering open-air freedom. I feel confident calling it one of the greatest games of the fifth generation, even if I'm no longer prepared to list it among the five best games ever made."
Pure unadulterated fun. They don't make them like this anymore...especially not the triple A industry.
Game Rant participates in the Megaton Musashi World Cup, checking out the game a little bit beforehand and winning the first round match.
I'm still confused as to what steroblindness is, but this is awesome.
Wow.
I am trying to understand this "stereoblindness" I truly am.
But for the life of me I just can not fathom how one can see from both eyes yet have blindness in depth perception. Covering either of my eyes does not take my ability or understanding of depth of 3d space from what I am viewing.
Now, If I cover both my eyes! Then I feel your pain man...
If you are stereoblind, how can you see the depth effect from the 3DS? I mean, your having to also utilize both of your eyes in order to even literally see the 3DS 3D effect? YES, NO? IF you turn off the 3DS 3D effect slider, can you no longer see with depth where the 3DS screen is? Forgive me, but I loath not knowing something and Hate not being able to understand it easily. This has more to do with my brain than your eyes... if you follow.
My 74 yr old visiting father just had me put on his eye glasses and close one eye, then the other.
OUCH! So he said very similar thing. For one, Ive been working with 3D and art all my life... so my mind literally just thinks in 3d space... two my eyes have been exceptional ( well the computer screens have taken tolls ) between the two I was not perceiving the issue.
Having the glasses on made it all so clear! One side was fish eye distorted, close and blurred the right side was clear but further away and text was illegible. Biggest difference was how far and close the image from each side was.
AWESOME! I hope the technology advances quickly and all those of you with stereoblindness have the wonder of crystal clear 3D vision. I'll call you Jordi.. :)
FANTASTIC READ! I've never thought about me seeing the world in 3D and some people can't. I had to hold my hand up a couple of times and close one eye to figure out what he was talking about. Now I am very grateful to have my vision and I am glad that this guy can experiences this.
