Aye. But Kotaku had an interview with the maker. He's a talented designer, but he was all 'i fink its thyme we redefine what ppl play games 4' etc. That's right: People no longer play games for entertainment, but rather to delete files on the computers at PC World.

http://www.stfj.net/art/2009/loselose/ Every time you kill an alien, you delete a file on your computer. When YOU die, the application deletes itself. Load of people on Kotaku whining about how it's art and stuff. I just think it's an interesting concept - especially since people are...

Agreed. And even then advancements in that industry are 'one step forwards, two steps back'. I just heard DJ Hero being advertised on Spotify. The voice-over called it 'revolutionary'. Oh, revolutionary? Don't you mean 'a shit version of Frequency with a tacky plastic thing'?

Cheers for all the input guys. Wrote a blog entry on what we've covered in this thread, although the formatting didn't turn out quite as planned.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I agree that the mindfuck games really do reign supreme for the most part. No one mentioned FEAR though? That has some super-creepy moments, but don't they bother people because you don't actually have to DO anything for those scenes?

Following the success of my blog entry this week (http://www.gamerevolution.com/blog/entry.php?id=80099) and the fact the comment sections has turned into a counselling session for people with weird fears in videogames, I thought I'd put together a top ten list of stuff which REALLY freaks us...

I played a release version for a site I work at. Wait, can I link the review here? Whatever - http://www.honestgamers.com/systems/con ... ons+Online. Don't let the cute graphics deceive you - its VERY system intensive so I do suggest you save up for that g-card. Its good though. Did you...

Bwhaha. 'Evolution of Revolution' has a nice ring to it.

The single greatest reason to buy this game. :P
