...games in a long time to make me want to stop and just look around--some of the environments are just incredibly amazing

...games I need to play. This evening I purchased two of them: Gears of War 2 and Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia . Strangely, after logging about an hour with Gears, I wanted to put it down and move on to Castlevania. Gears 2--with respect--felt like a bigger, sloppier version of the first game on first impression. I'm sure I'll warm up to it,...

...game. I'm reluctant to say I accomplished this, because my definition of "great" is specific and not consistent with the work I produced. I did ship a game this year and there are aspects of it I'm happy with, but I'm not satisfied with the result overall and believe I could have done better. Moreover, in spite of working on a variety of...

...game I've been working on is essentially done. It's pretty good! I don't know if it's Castle Crashers-good or World of Goo-good or Braid-good but it's pretty good. I still have fun with it. I think part of the reason I've neglected to keep up with other games in the last six months is because of this The game passed internal approval today...

...game I'm working on--it's an aspect of the game that enriches everything else about it in an almost startling way. The audio team works harder and longer than almost anyone. I'm fairly sure the correlation here is pretty direct. Irrespective of how the game finally turns out, to have worked with the audio team closely in the past year or so...

...game at this point, now that it's more or less done, and I'm making time for that Let me record my recent thinking on the game, since it's subject to change later, especially once my impressions of it start being colored by other people's impressions: In this moment, I like this game. I have fun playing it. At last I can say these things...

...games for a change. For starters, I'm spending this Sunday luxuriantly wondering what the hell to do rather than knowing exactly what needs to be done. Not that I'm complaining I have never had this much of a backlog of must-play games in my entire life. That's one thing I'll be fixing But I need to figure out my next move. I should get...

Unfortunately this might have been the defining day of my life. Though hell, at least I had one

...game before I started working on it, and that experience has gone pretty much as hoped, even surprisingly so. A lot of the characters are very true to the original intentions and hearing dialogue I wrote in the game and seeing people smile from it or better yet laugh at it has probably been the most rewarding part of this experience so far ...

I've written here under pseudonym on purpose, because I need to be able to express certain ideas for what they're worth, and because this page is about describing an experience rather than about a person. While this isn't meant to be all secretive, I appreciated that the small readership here basically seemed to understand the intent. Thank you...
