Gamer's Guide to Life.com, Tuesday 3rd May 2011: SystemLink Lead Editor Chris Hawke discusses why everybody's favourite ancient philosopher could have been the best game reviewer in the modern age by recognising that the whole, completed product of a game is more than just the technical sum of its parts. S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and Fallout 3 are used as case studies.
GGTL: "Aristotle would have been the best games reviewer ever if he had been around in this internet age. So many reviews these days get bogged down in technical talk; over-analysing of anti-aliasing. They examine every texture, every bug, and every pixel. What they miss, though, is the real game: the action that's happening right in front of their eyes, the experience created by the fusion of all the game's elements."
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.
2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.
If you are looking for an awesome RPG, look no further. Steam is offering a significant discount on its Fallout Franchise Bundle.
"You can get all Fallout games in a bundle at a significant 20% discount on Steam. Individually, all these games add up to $244.91. With the discount, you can get them all for $195.91. That is $49 less than the original price. Quite a significant discount for such a popular franchise."
😊 😂 🤣 😐 - But why?
Just wait for a sale and get most if not all of it for a fraction of that price.
20% off...lol
The original games have been given out for free by Amazon for GOG and Epic, 76 is free now on Amazon if you have prime, Epic has also given out new Vegas for free and 4 has gone down to pretty cheap prices. 194 bucks is a total ripoff when you can get these games individually for less. Don't forget cd keys might sell em for a dollar less at times too. Come on man, us cheapskates won't touch anything near or above 100 lolz
The artist behind Fallout 4’s Deathclaw reveals just how bad things got back when Bethesda took over the series
People are stupid I get it. No one should feel unsafe,
But I think they need to talk about why they cut so many corners during the development process and why none of their games ever look current. And why they think all of this is okay while they charge full price.
Nothing says 'game journalism expert' like 'dead Greek philosopher.'
I think the discussions at The Academy would have been quite different if they were about which out of PS3, Xbox 360, or Wii, was the best.
