New obsession.

So I've had a few people around me rave about this game "It's the scariest game you'll ever play!". Scary, yes I can see how that would be an appropriate way of describing it .. IF I had an flat screen TV, and maybe a nice sound system. Nay, I've yet to purchase such treasures.

Yet ... DEAD SPACE ... Began a few days ago, up to chapter three, set to hard OF COURSE. Awesome storyline, challenging, some unpredictability, some predictability. A tad bit repetitive at times. High levels of frustration? Nah, not as much as COD.

Clap clap for this one.Well enjoyed.

AFK.

Mainstream. We need some tributaries.

Mainstream gaming is unlike mainstream movies, music etc. Mainstream music = noise pollution, mainstream movie = hit & miss.

With an audience hard to please and no time for big mistakes, mainstream games are actually worthy of their title. HOWEVER, that is not to say originality is flourishing. Unfortunately, gamers are creatures of habit, they like the same themes and stories, just executed in different ways. I therefore call for some originality in MAINSTREAM GAMES because to say there are none would be a lie. It is simply that they do not have the popularity, money and advertising behind them.

Hey, that's not to say I don't like rehashing...

AFK.
