DONE PLAYING (Braid @ GameLuv.com)

Braid

Instead of doing a review of Braid like i wanted to, i’ll just point you to my good friend Shawn’s site where he does a better job of putting words together to make…. longer lines of words that describe something that eventually form paragraphs.

Done Playing: Braid (XBLA) - GameLuv.com

*the one thing i would of loved to see in Braid is a screen saver mode that showcases the artwork from the game.

JACK IS BACK!

Jellyvision getting back into the games biz - Joystiq

Jellyvision

yes!  i love the You Don’t Know Jack line of games.  what makes this different then any other game show?  presentation, attitude, and the ability to fuse pop culture with their questions… which they do it perfectly.

for those who don’t know what YDKJ is, go play it right now!

PUB GAMES: player’s voice

Category: art, game dev, gaming, myArt, news, reviewheavyness @ 7:38 pm
Fable II Pub Games

Fable II Pub Games

Reviews from big game sites and all the big blogs is one thing, but seeing actual people talk about your game on gaming forums brings a smile to my face…

“And the presentation/personality is top notch. The cards/boards have a lot of little touches that really do make them look like something that would exist in Fable’s “Ye Olde” world. Music is great too.”

“the presentation of these games, though, are ULTRA-SLICK, probably went hand in hand with Fable 2’s production i guess.”

“The charming music soothes my multi thousand gold debt.”

“667 Gold… no debt.
On Fortune’s Tower I got two jackpots on like my first four hands and I was like “omg this game is easy!” after which the game proceeded to demoralize me and take all of it back over the course of like 2 terrible hands.”

“The game gets much, much better the further you get. New games and tournaments make things a lot easier and a lot more fun.  I’m still in debt, but I’m at the point where one good hand in Fortune’s Tower will erase it.”

“The thing I hate most in this world is when my top card on Tower comes down to save me and ITS THE SAME CARD THAT IT DROPS ONTO”

“played a hour or two of Keystone last night, couldn’t stop - didn’t do too badly, think i’m at about 550 or so.”

“God damn I could pretty much play this game for hours.  It’s like actual gambling.”

“48K zero debt after being in a 50k+ debt think ill take a nap now…”

FABLE II PUB GAMES… ALMOST LIVE

Category: art, gaming, myArt, newsheavyness @ 3:05 pm

so just under 11 hours to go until the Fable II Pub Games go live [sometime around 2am i believe].  i’ve been reading most of the previews/reviews and comments and i’m surprised more people are missing some information. like…

  • unlock items that your character can later using inside Fable II
  • unlock concept art from Lionhead Studios

…and of course, win some money so once you buy Fable II, you can outfit your guy with some nice gear.  i’ve also read some people not wanting to buy the game becuase they think it will make Fable II easier since your coming into the game rich.  well, i highly doubt Lionhead would let something like that happen.  and yes, if you pre-order Fable II, you will get a card with a code on it to download these games for free [so what are you waiting for].

http://www.joystiq.com/2008/08/07/fable-2-lands-oct-21-in-us-oct-24-in-europe/

“Although we already knew Fable 2 was arriving in October, Lionhead Studios has revealed
the awaited title will hit US store shelves, then proceed to raise a
family while it waits to be purchased, on October 21. European gamers
can expect the game days later on October 24. For those who want to
start padding their virtual wallets early, the Xbox Live Arcade Pub Games will land August 13.”

so there ya go, get ready! you’ll finally be able to play the game i worked on.  oh yeah, buy Fable II, it’s going to be one hell of a game!
