There are few figures that encapsulate the golden 16-bit era better than Yuji Naka – a key figure in the success of SEGA's Mega Drive with his iconic Sonic games, his work post-hedgehog was no less revolutionary. Going on to produce Nights, one of the beleaguered Saturn's true highlights, Naka went on to form his own studio, Prope, in 2006. IGN caught up with the legendary figure for a brief chat when he was in London to promote the first game under the new studio, Let's Tap.
Brash Games writes "The Wii has been all but abandoned by core gamers for some time now, but even with its predecessor, the Wii U, just around the corner, here are 5 reasons that the Nintendo Wii is still deserving of your time and attention".
Playing video games can be one of the most enthralling and addictive pastimes, transporting you into a fantasy world and hooking you in with immersive gameplay, with the scope of game-makers limited only by their imaginations. Anything is possible. Anything.
So why on earth did someone decide to make Euro Truck Simulator?
ShortList guides you through 10 of the most boring games ever created; play these at your peril, or maybe do play them if you have insomnia.
I agree. Those two games were ZzZzZzZzZzZzZz.
La Noire was just a big tech demo for their new facial animations.
L.A Noire was a big disappointment to me. Quite repetitive, boasted one hell of a huuge nicely rendered map that was practically full of nothing to do.
Restrictive gameplay scenarios in how you approach / solve cases. The facial animations is what was amazing, but the rest was a letdown especially with the amount of little things you can do in the game.
Depends on personal preference/choice. I loved Heavy Rain. It was something new and fresh, and I'm glad I played it.
The Wiire writes: "Could A Wii game that you play without touching the Wiimote possibly be fun?
Nintendo claims they are "innovators." With the Wii, the DS and the Dsi, many believe that Nintendo has lived up to their claims. Even with these innovations on the hardware side, there is little argument that there is a lack of innovation in third-party developed software. With a few exceptions in games like Boom Blox, not many games find interesting mechanics besides the basic waggle."
Yuji Naka, Shigeru Miyamoto, and Kenji Inafune never really get the credit they deserve from "current gen" gamers. It's all about the war between MS/Sony and the battle for 2nd place.
These are the guys who resurrected the home console market after the
American gaming companies and media killed it off.
I wish Yu Suzuki would take the head development of Sega.
