High Rezolution

Drey — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 02:10:43 +0000

Rez is one of my favorite games of all time. It is video gaming in its purest sense. I remember wanting to play the impossibly gorgeous virtual reality games depicted in Lawnmower Man and other early 90s films. Rez is that impossible game. While there are scores involved, Rez really rewards the player with beauty through the stunning visuals and music. It has achieved perfection on the Xbox 360.

Oh, and I forgot to include Zak & Wiki on the list. I’m still a short ways into it, but I have been quite amused thus far.

1. Rock Band

Maybe it should be called “AsleepFall”

I really liked The Longest Journey and I could potentially like Dreamfall. Several hours into it, I realized I wasn’t up for more drawn out cut scenes punctuated by boring puzzles.

I did realize something though: I tend to prefer adventure games featuring a female protagonist as they tend to offer a wider range of dramatic choices and explore the character a lot more. Cyberia is a good example of that.

The Angst Farmers Rock Once More

Drey — Sun, 06 Jan 2008 19:06:33 +0000

I finally secured my own Rock Band set! I also spent a fruitless search driving around town looking for a cheap mic stand and a drum throne. I guess those will show up later.

I’ve gotten stuck in the vocalist solo tour. I ran up against a set list with only one song I know. So now I need to listen to Fall Out Boy, KISS, The Killers and one other band over and over until I learn the lyrics.

Psychonauts

Tim Schafer’s best work to date. Absolutely stunning world design and top shelf writing. I’m nearing the end of the game, sad to think it will be over soon.

Return of the Top Ten Lists

This may or may not be a short-lived experiment, but, in order to account for how I’m spending my time, I may begin to keep track of movies, books and various other entertainment.
