Jason Hill Writes:
"It's been a very long wait, but finally gamers around the world can start populating the universe with their own customized creatures in Will Wright's breathtaking evolution simulator.
Spore, out now on PC and Macintosh, gives players an entire universe to tinker with. The scale is astonishing as you progress from guiding a primitive microbe to exploring the vastness of space.
As evidenced by the astonishing popularity of Spore's standalone Creature Creator, the most exciting aspect of the game is that it fully embraces player creativity. Using DNA points awarded by performing activities such as hunting for food, socialising and fighting, players can purchase new parts for their critter.
Sculpting your creature is delightfully simple, tactile and pleasurable, yet the tool is both intuitive and deep. Even PC gaming virgins should not be intimidated at all.
Cleverly, the game automatically populates your universe with creations designed by both professional designers and other players according to your tastes and requirements. It makes exploring your environment even more fascinating to know that creatures you encounter could have a deep story just like your own.
It's also great that even if you don't feel like being creative, there's always something fun or interesting to choose.
One of the most impressive aspects of Spore is that the game features a consistent interface as you progress from creating individual creatures, to assisting a small tribe, then constructing cities and civilizations, to finally to exploring and colonising space."
From Xfire: "Anyone who's played video games for a couple of years has stuck around long enough to stumble across a few weird ones. Some are even quite popular, which is all the more reason why you'll wonder what made the developers think about making such a game and why people are loving it, despite its weirdness anyway. Not all weird video games are head-scratches. Some are actually quite good."
The stick of truth is a must have for any South Park fans. I spent a good afternoon on Goat simulator, a rare real open world. I planned to try hatoful boyfriend since it was free on Ps Plus. Disco Elysium is on my radar since the final cut came out; as soon as there is a discount, i will take it. Like movies, i like weird games too :)
From Xfire: "The four-hour director's cut known as Zack Snyder's Justice League has led to the discussion of movies in the past that might have fared a whole lot better had they been released to be more in line with the original vision of their creators. But, as it turns out, cut content doesn't just happen in movies. In fact, the act of cutting content before the release date happens arguably just as often in video games as it does in cinema."
I can't believe they cut stuff from Skyrim. At release, it was a barebones game with a slight improvement in graphics.
"Now, before we proceed, we'd like to say that Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is one of the best video games ever made. It's not just a fine piece of gaming. It's one of the finest there is"
Really?
MGSV is easily the worst main line MGS game and not just because of cut story content, the open world is bare bones and there's hardly anything to do. It's repetitive, samey and is just lifeless. I appreciate the stealth mechanics, the animations and the way you can go with combat but it's not enough to keep me engaged the full way through.
Kojima should have done a twist and make the main chunk of the game a Metal Gear & Metal Gear 2 remake to bring the story full circle.
Story issues aside, V has amazing gameplay. I'm not sure what you're wanting out of the world in terms of "things to do", it's all the great gameplay the series has always had. Useless filler that other open worlds have like collecting flags and petting horses would have added nothing to that game.
THE TRUTH! I don't even know how that game gets praised. The previous ones were so much better.
While we have witnessed a lot of remakes, remasters and even sequels to games a decade old. There are still some gems that are close to my heart that are lost to me. Here are some classic games that I'd love to either see remakes or remasters of, or even a sequel on new hardware.
