Man, I wish the list was more expansive, but there were probably too many to count for. I've got to agree on Fable II. It's hard to just play without wondering what's the point of doing so. You need things to do in a game that is so open ended (and with some purpose).
This brings back great memories.
I feel this uproar against video games is going to go nowhere (even if Obama is a partial force behind it) and this article brings that to light. We're talking about a larger issue other than violence or desensitizing children. They will not stop at just video games, they will eventually keep pointing at other things to blame for the way we humans just are.
Well, we're all blaming something for the violence in society. In the end, the only thing you can blame is the person.
Hence the submission, especially for those who are pursuing a career in game development or design. :D Glad someone took the time to read the article.
If even Miyamoto says the word "could," shouldn't we be skeptical too? He may be proud of the work, but the article seems to hint he shows no confidence in it.
"I was finally arrested last month for breaking people’s pots and stealing their heart." I LOLed.
Looking forward to some sort of demo of the new Legend of Zelda at E3!!!
Why place a random date even if it's just speculation? At GDC, Sony confirmed it being released end of 2010 - so no surprises. I think gamers can wait anyway.
Brings back great memories. This was my favorite out of all 5. I think it's worth owning, expensive or not.
I agree with hand eye coordination, but don't know about Physical Health... unless all you play is the Wii Fit and other games that require your entire body to move.
Have to agree with you too. For any game to gain recognition in a positive light, it needs substance and well-planned design elements. Whether that includes nudity or not, the game should be able to stand on its feet without them too. The article mentioned that parents shouldn't be negligent with what their children play. Even if the world keeps screaming that, too many of them just won't budge and they let their children play and think whatever they want.
