PS3 has no games – Prove me wrong
I know a blog post titled “PS3 has no games” is obviously going to make some people rage at suggesting so and others nod in agreement… and to be fair, I did put it up there to get people to turn their heads in this direction. However, I’m not here to bash the PS3, rather to highlight what great games it does have which people are either genuinely unaware of or are trying to ignore for the sake of saying… “PS3 has no games.”
The difference with this article from the few others I have written in the past is that it won’t try to give you all the answers, rather it is intended to get a discussion started so that you can share from your own experience, what PS3 games we should be aware of.
Before I begin though, I’d like people to focus more on PS3 exclusives rather than the multi-platform titles… to be perfectly honest, I feel that most of the current multi-platform games perform better on the Xbox 360 than they do on the PS3.
I fucking hate this country!
Just watch and see how stupid the country I live in, Australia, can get.
Adaptive Soundtracks
This is something that I’ve thought about for quite awhile and would like to share with everyone. While I’m not a musician, composer or have any professional qualifications in sound design, I feel I do have relevant views on these subjects since I am part of the audience.
The evolution of the video game soundtrack differs greatly from what can be heard at the movies… at least that’s how it used to be. The electronic beeps, boops, buzzes and obvious synthetic effects are becoming a thing of the past as most video games become more complex and tend to become a lot more cinematic. Of course, the obvious difference between a cinematic movie and a cinematic video game is that a movie is viewed in a linear form, from start to finish with no ability to change the events of the movie which in turn isn’t able to effect any changes in the soundtrack. Continuing on with stating the obvious, the interactive nature of a video game opens up many opportunities to create soundtracks which adapt and change depending on how we as the player interact with the game environment. Adaptive soundtracks have evolved to a certain point with video games, but there is room for growth that I’m sure most people haven’t really thought of.
You now have The Legend of Zelda theme playing in your head…
Wii Would Like to Play PS2
I’m still quite tired from setting up the site so I’ll start off with a small article…
Many gamers would have you believe that Nintendo is responsible for the flood of casual gamers and non-gamers who have been introduced to the video game industry. While I agree that Nintendo is succeeding greatly as they focus their effort appealing to new and untapped audiences, I disagree that they are the ones that encouraged growth in this direction in the first place. Nintendo is taking advantage of the foundation another company had already lain. The true leaders of this gaming revolution are in fact, none other than Sony with its PlayStation 2.
It’s game time!
Hey, I’m Lynk Former, creator of this brand new video game community site called “Twilight Lynk.”
I know a lot of gamers out there don’t have much patience. At least that’s what I gather when I look around the net. So I decided to create a community environment where gamers can come and interact freely with other gamers. I’ll be posting up articles voicing my opinion as a regular every day gamer and in turn will encourage you to respond with your thoughts. Whether we agree with each other on issues is beside the point, what this place aims to do is to let you express yourself and have fun doing it.
And yeah, I want this site to be #1. It’s going to be a long, hard road, but who knows? Could kick ass. Could be dangerous. Could totally suck. What do you say, bro? Join me, let’s see how far we can take this. And for you there holding the mouse in hand right now? Just click register now! Let the madness begin!
