Tin Salamunic: David Cage is like the George Lucas of video games. Not too long ago, he was considered a master of interactive storytelling. Unfortunately, he has become synonymous with everything that’s wrong with modern gaming. I’m not sure what happened. Maybe it’s Cage’s refusal to evolve with the industry, or maybe it’s his ego’s inability to accept and change bad ideas. Whatever the reason may be, the recently released Fahrenheit remaster (Indigo Prophecy in North America) is a wonderful flashback to Cage’s most successful work. While the game’s horrid QTE’s still remain an annoyance, the intriguing narrative, superb voice acting and wonderful visuals make up for its shortcomings. At only ten bucks, Fahrenheit is a steal, and a must play for those who missed it back in 2005.
