IGN - Linear Games and the Art of Control

IGN - At some point in the past 10 years, the term "linear" became profane in gaming culture. The advent of the open-world genre changed what games allowed us to do.

When a game forces your hand, you wind up walking a predictable path where you're at the mercy of an author's intent.

well i enjoy
both linear and open world games
you can't have every game to be open world
because it will not be story driven as linear games

and you can't have every game to be linear
because you would love to explore and have multi choices

so you can't have one and not the other
both are awesome in their own ways

i'm not the only one who enjoy both ...am i ??

sorry for my bad English it's not my 1st language

Golden Axe is a great game I enjoyed it on the SMS, Genesis and in the arcade. Great game but it truly was a quarter eater back in the day. I wish Sega could get the rights to the arcade port of Moonwalker another great arcade game I enjoyed. Collect so many monkeys and become Robo Michael lol.
