The Top 7... Water levels that don't actually suck |
|
|
Man... DKC's water levels were definitely not what I would call blissfull and sublime. They were good, but fucking stressful. Croctopus Chase especially... most good horror games don't tense me up like I get in that level, with the croctopi after me. :/ |

Limbo vs Braid: Which is better? |
|
|
I hated Braid (good thing it was only $2). Limbo looks cool; maybe I'll pick it up when it's ported to PC, and cheap. |

1080p games: Do they matter to you? |
|
|
1200p is where it's at, aha. And it definitely matters. The image looks so much better the higher the resolution is. I'd rather drop graphics settings and keep a high resolution than vice versa. As for 3D: it obviously has a huge performance impact. I'd much rather see something rendered with twice as many pixels size-wise (which 3D essentially has to do) than rendered in 3D. |

Game music of the day: Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks |
|
|
Spirit Tracks was better than Phantom Hourglass, but still... a sad game compared to its portable predecessors. That said, I loved the music, especially the overworld theme. |

What would you rather have: 3D or better looking games? |
|
|
Better graphics for sure. I hope that option is used more often than the gimmicky 3D thing. |

Why a new console generation would be terrible for gaming |
|
|
Yeah, we might as well have stuck with the 8-bit consoles. Who cares for better graphics? |

The conference was a joke. Nintendo and Sony will certainly top this. |

So... from this article, it looks like this won't be the PC gaming experience that Crysis was. :( |

Will Project Natal make "next-gen" obsolete? |
|
|
Haha, is this a joke? Did the Nintendo Wii make next-gen obsolete? Of course not. Natal's just another motion-control gimmick... when a console with vastly superior graphics is released, we'll see if it's ignored in favour of something like Natal. |

QOTW: Have you beaten every game in a series? Which one? |
|
|
I really wish I could answer "Zelda," but Phantom Hourglass is such a damned bad game that I can't bring myself to beat it. It's funny, because I'd beaten all the other games in the series by about a year ago... but that one game is just so fucking boring. Anyway, I have beaten the entire Half-Life saga, as well as the Paper Mario series. But those series don't contain all that many games, so it's nothing to be proud of, really... Oh, and I will beat Phantom Hourglass by the end of the year. It was one of the New Year's resolutions I made in January, hahaha. |

QOTW: What's your favorite N64 game of all time? |
|
|
It's so damned hard to choose between Paper Mario and The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. On the one hand, there's Paper Mario's humour, character, and simply-fun combat system. It never gets old, and this is a game that I play almost every year. On the other hand, there's Majora's Mask's incredible use of atmosphere, dark story, and characters who elicited real empathy. I guess I'll go with the latter. There's just no other game that's managed to have an emotional impact on me like Majora's Mask did. |

QOTW: What is your all-time favorite console? |
|
|
My all-time favourite console is Nintendo's GameCube. In my opinion, Nintendo's very best games were released during the GameCube years. Of my top ten favourite games, four of them were made for the GameCube (PC and the Nintendo 64 come in tied at second with a measly two each). Metroid Prime, which is in my view the best game ever made, came out on the system. As for the console's hardware: it's irrelevant to me. I just loved the amount of fantastic first-party games. |

QOTW: What game do you always go back to? |
|
|
The one game that I always go back to is Paper Mario. It's one of the first games that I beat when I was a young, novice gamer, and it's still one of my all time favourites. I know the game like the back of my hand, but the story, the humour, the music, and the gameplay never get old. |
