Dead Rising 2!!!!!!!!! The return of my favorite co-dependent, abusive gaming relationship!! Not to make you angry honey, but any chance we could have…I don’t know…two save slots? Don’t hit! I promise I’ll play you no matter what!
Translation: Props to Margaret Robertson for the endlessly useful metaphor for the player-game relationship. Her 2k8 GDC presentation PowerPoint? It’s here.
It took five months (curse you work, the holidays, and Rock Band, in that order), but I have at last finished Bioshock. Observations to follow, but I must say that I didn’t find the resolution as much of a letdown as others have reported. It certainly lacked the imagination evident in almost everything that proceeded it (and the drama of the game’s first denouement), but it worked for me.
