It's important in life to maintain a broad palette when it comes to culture and the arts. Hideo Kojima agrees, as he continues to use video games like Death Stranding to introduce people to music and other elements they might not otherwise discover.
Mojang has partnered with Merlin Entertainments to build the world's first Minecraft theme park in the UK.
A three-episode live-action adaptation of the first two Yakuza video games will debut Tuesday, March 17 exclusively IGN. Each episode is about an hour long and will stream on IGN.com and IGN’s YouTube channel.
I can honestly say based on what I've hear about the game, that I would probably like it. theres games that have scored a 5 that I've loved to play.
and I think game reviewers usually focus on things that don't matter to justify low scores such as not liking the voice acting or the wardrobe selection, or the architecture.
however I must take Aaron's assessement of the game with a grain of salt.
most reviews say the game can be beaten by jamming on one button and that the complexity of the combat system just isn't there. not to mention only 6hours of play. it's a shame the developers couldn't have mirrored or recycled some levels and maybe added some extra features to strecht it out a bit.
but I can understand Ps3 wanting to get games on the shelf like yesterday to stem the avalanche of triple A games coming out for the 360
overall a good podcast.
