Gi - As the gaming industry has evolved and matured over the years, it has also lost a dear friend and faithful companion: the game manual. Growing up in the 90s, gamers were exposed to a wide variety of games from many different developers both large and small. Nintendo and Sega duked it out for consumers’ dollars and the race for the higher bit machine took many companies to their graves. At the end of the day, despite whichever experiences and titles were chosen, gamers were able to sit down and crack open that box to enjoy that all too familiar “fresh game smell”.
GB: "With this feature, we will be taking a look at 15 of the best games from the PlayStation 2's vast library."
Toyohashi, Japan is set to host a large-scale Monster Hunter event to celebrate the franchise's 20th anniversary, complete with themed hotel accommodations.
Shaz from GL: "Acting is a difficult craft to master, and what many don't consider is just how hard it can be to perform across different mediums of entertainment."
Interesting article, it doesn’t surprise me because some people are better all a-rounders than others. Regardless of fame or how good they are in their specialty.
This is why I feel like the live action stuff in Alan Wake 2 especially is pretty bad. It also looks really cheap and amateurish.
Yeah, the boxes look so empty without manuals...
I'm not a fan of the in-game manuals we see now. The whole process feels clunky compared to just flipping through a tiny booklet. Also, I'll never forget just how magical the booklets for old NES games were... still love to see the monster art.
I remember getting gaming amnuals and reading them back to front I always remember the original Gameboy ones and counting the amount of pages it had I loved the Metroid II one
I dont even open them now
Amazes me that publishers can get away with this and still get away with charging same price.
Nope i still love a good thick manual even if i dont read it its apart of the package.
Am i the only one who loves the smell of a new game and manual ok did i just say that ....
Shit like this pisses me off about the game industry. "B-but we're saving the trees" yet you give us trifold pamphlets of legal information, cards with advisement and online passes that could have easily just been on the receipt when you get it from the store, that to me is more of a waste of paper than having actual useful info on the game itself so don't give me that "going green" bullshit this is nothing more than something to put more money in your greedy ass pockets publishers.
