cynicalmonkey wrote a new blog post: Movies Vs Video Games
I was asked recently by my girlfriend what would I rather give up movies or video games. She had no intention of forcing my choice upon me and removing the sacrificial media from my life as it was just a harmless game of would you rather but none the less I paused for some considerable…

cynicalmonkey wrote a new blog post: Will The MMO Ever Have A Place On The Console
The history of consoles can be marked with people declaring what will never work on a console only for the tables to be overturned and time and time again the console reaches those very heights. For a long period of time hearing a comment such as ‘yeah consoles can…

I don’t think the talent it takes to write a good comic and a good game are the same. how many times have you seen a writer attached to a game and it turn out that good. hire good game designers and game writers to to do a great super hero game and…

cynicalmonkey wrote a new blog post: The Missing Parts Of Bad Company 2
I want to start by saying I am really enjoying EA’s Battlefield Bad Company 2, the only previous battlefield game I have played was the browser shooter Battlefield Heroes so I was not going into this game pre disposed to love it, it was not even that high on my rental list. I…

cynicalmonkey commented on the blog post Overdoing It: Trophy Whores
what gets me is like the hardcore/casual argument it seems that you either are an achievement whore or you don’t care. I feel very much in the grey area where i enjoy what getting ach. adds to a game and because i know that i will get to increase my gamerscore a little i am…

from what i understand the very last boss in general knoxx works almost like a raid boss and the last mission can be repeated as many times as you want for loot & xp.

cynicalmonkey wrote a new blog post: Choose Your Own Involvement
Once upon a time in the world of gaming it seemed the lines between game types were easier to see. Within the first 5 minutes of a game you knew what you were playing, shooters looked and played like shooters, RPG’s looked and played like RPG’s and casual games… well casual games…

cynicalmonkey commented on the blog post Accessibility: A Good or Bad Thing?
the harcore vs casual thing is such a wierd thing if you think about it. surely as gamers we should all be happy to bond with eachother over a love of a format. I remember growing up in the pre internet days when just finding out the kid down the street was a gamer seemed…

cynicalmonkey commented on the blog post Video Game Addiction – A Real Problem?
what you have described is exactly what a twelve step program is without the good doctor. its not about just following twelve rules it is about meeting with a supportive group of people who share the common bond.

It’s not a question that ever bothered Socrates, Descartes, Bill Hicks, Grover or any of the other great thinkers of our time but it is one that concerns me.

cynicalmonkey commented on the blog post Replay Revolution: Making Games More Replayable
I think there is a difference between a game with actual replayability and some games that use achievements to add fake replayability (its like fake difficult only its to do with replays).

actually joe while there is some ps3 allegiance there he makes valid points

cynicalmonkey commented on the blog post Storylines In Games Don’t Matter
I cannot get behind this as an idea that storylines do not matter or the way that you have outlined what a storyline is. To use one of your examples of sonic and its storyline I have to say your agument seems more directed at story telling technique than at storylines.

cynicalmonkey commented on the blog post Limitcast Episode 30 – Preshow Discussion: DLC’s legitimacy
DLC seemed to start as a way of giving gamers more game for their money and now feels like a way of making more money for a game. I made a comment on a previous newspost that DLC is starting to feel to big game releases what the movie tie in game…

cynicalmonkey commented on the blog post Limitcast Episode 29: The Critical Reception of Games
i think my fun point got off topic – i am not saying a game has to be fun to get a good review. my point is a game like mario kart wii. when it came out i read and heard many reviews that spoke about it being a bit of rehash, it lacked inovation, [...]
