Here.

Honestly, I’m impressed at how quickly they stole that idea. And I won’t bother pointing out that he talks about the increasing maturity and diversity of the games industry before ripping off last Christmas’s big hit. All in all, this guy has class.

Incidentally, EA has nicked that idea for it’s upcoming sequel to last year’s Boom Blox too. You can see the creativity just bleeding out of the industry.

Apologising for the delay

May be back for easter!

Thanks for listening!

Hey, I know I haven’t done anything for practically a month.

This is really because schoolwork has really caught up with me; including outside things as well.

Sadly the podcast will not be up again until Summer. however the site will remain, including the forums; and you can still subscribe to iTunes, so when we do start again, you will receive it straight away!

As to the contributors, many of them are freelancers, so they made add topics from time to time.

IF you have a good idea for the podcast or want to get involved, get in contact!!!

But until the summer (when we will come back stronger)

Thanks for listening to NIGaming

Or, Why I Hate Hideo Kojima’s Game of the Year.

Personally, I just think that shows the extent of the irrational hype which surrounded this game for so long before its release. Even when gameplay footage showed the world that the whole game revolved around a ridiculously shoddy physics engine, everyone still seemed to be convinced that it was guaranteed to be brilliant.

I’d like to set something straight before I begin. This is a game designed for one purpose and one purpose only. It exists solely for puzzles. There is no other reason for it. The plot is merely a way for the game to force puzzles upon you. By the end, you’re searching for puzzles in order to unlock more puzzles.

If you don’t like puzzles, you won’t like this game. In fact, if you don’t like puzzles, don’t play this game. You’ll regret it.

So Tristan asked if I wanted to contribute, I said sure. My posts will probably be bi-weekly… give or take, due to life, so if its not that often don’t get mad >_>

Forgive the innuendo, but something I noticed the other day sparked a thought of mine.  I think a lot of people, (at least here in the USA) take the size of their TV’s for granted.  I was able to play Left 4 Dead for the first time the other day; I liked the game but we were playing on a fairly small (by todays standards) TV.  I found it hard to take the game seriously.

Most TV’s here in America for middle class families (well I should say in California, I’m not completely sure about everywhere else) are pretty big (50-80inches would be my guess).  Playing a game on a bigger and newer TV you just feel more of the game, I guess you could say.  Another game I played on two very different TV’s was Gears of War 2, which needless to say the plasma screen seemed much more alive than the old tube TV.  So I guess my point is, if you have a big or nice TV be thankful for it, and you should be the ones having friends over to play you consoles.
