  1. Beyond Good and Evil 2... please! by sherriw · · Score: 1 · on Everybody Loves the Wii

    PLEASE Ubisoft- give us a sequel to Beyond Good and Evil. And for the love of god- no more Prince of Persia(cringe)!

  2. Re:Off the top of my head. by thatguywhoiam · · Score: 1 · on On The Feminine Form In Gaming
    Alyx Vance, for example? She was a brilliant scientist who knew her way with a gun and built huge robots for fun. If she is not a strong female character, I don't know who is.

    Good point.

    Another game comes to mind - Beyond Good and Evil. Great game. Strong, un-exaggerated female lead character (well she had big eyes, it was the style of the game). Fell on its face in sales numbers though.

  3. Re:A vote for great gameplay either way by TechniMyoko · · Score: 0, Flamebait · on Realism vs. Style: the Zelda Debate
    Personally I'm 38, my kids were 11 when they played Windwaker, and I loved the emotive cartoon style. We haven't seen games that more gracefully bring across emotional reactions by the characters.

    Yes we have

  4. Re:I didn't find Thief (2) that good... by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on Thief 3 Website Goes Live

    You might wanna try something more closer to Thief 1. Such as Beyond Good and Evil. Very good game, where you don't necessarly need to kill to get things done.

    BTW: Buy it if you enjoy it.

    stories are becoming less important for commercial games

    Not necessarily true. There are at least a few commercial games out there with good stories - for example, Beyond Good and Evil is quite good. And almost all of Jeff Vogel's games over at Spiderweb Software have excellent stories (yes, they're shareware, but he makes a living off of them - that makes them commercial). I see less problem with the stories than with the length of a lot of games coming out today - a lot of them are only 10-15 hours long, when 40 used to be the minimum...

  6. Beyond Good and Evil by courier12point5 · · Score: 1 · on Best Original Games of 2003?

    Beyond Good and Evil , despite the strange name, has got to be one of the most amazing games I have played in a long time. It's what's keeping me from finishing Final Fantasy X-2. The game world and the rich story are fascinating and original. This is the game that Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee wished it were.

  7. Sharp TV by blueskatz · · Score: 1 · on Videogames, HDTV and Widescreen 16:9?

    I've got a Sharp 27F631. Its one of the few 4:3 TV models that will shrink a widescreen signal down to the correct aspect ratio, which is required for widescreen games (games aren't anamorphic). It was this feature that I bought the TV for, as I wanted to play games in widescreen without having to buy a widescreen television.

    A significant number of games actually do have a widescreen option, however the only games that I have found that really are enhanced through widescreen are racing games. The extra peripheral gives you an edge on sharp turns and opponents (I love playing F-Zero on widescreen).

    Movies are made in widescreen because they are meant for a 16:9 movie screen, and therefore directors will actually use the extended width with purpose. But as a game developer, your widescreen audience is extremely limited, so gameplay will not be implemented to take advantage of the added width. In some games the widescreen mode makes for some odd visual anomalies (In GTA:Vice City, the moon is flattened).

    One game that is an exception is Beyond Good and Evil, which is apparently entirely in widescreen (hopefully they will actually support widescreen tv's as well).
