game graphics are improving in quality, and more complex activities and actions are now capable. but there is still space for the good old games like gorilla (ne1 else remember throwing explosive bananas at each other against a pixelated skyline?) they are still classic, and despite the lack of new things to do, it can still provide hours of entertainment.

I still love Yoshi's Island that I played on my old-as-hell Super Nintendo which would delete your file if it got too hot. 2-D platformers are vastly underrated.

2D platformers are great games, and i think in some cases are far better than 3D platformers. the 3D platformers tend to have sloppy controls and bad camera placement, making the a pain to play. whreas the old 2D ones u can always see what ur doing, and u cant send ur character slightly the wrong way and kill urself. did anyone ever play a pc platformer called Jazz Jackrabbit, that game just ruled.

That's debatable. I've felt pretty engulfed in Yoshi's Island. It has such beatiful artwork and fun, interesting worlds, the kind that show up in your dreams. And even though Final Fantasy games have beautiful cut scenes, I've never felt engulfed throughout any of it. It's probably because the battles are so engaging. Actually, the most engaging 3D platform for me has been Dark Cloud 2. Not the best cut scenes, but stupendous backgrounds and gameplay. It's dazzling.

Dark Cloud is the most under rated RPG. even though its got blatent rip-offs all over the game, its got some highly inventive aspects. the story lines need some work though.

dark cloud 2 made up for one. and i always feel like im inside of the ff worlds, and part of that reason is the battles, and hey youve never finished a final fantasy! like i said, you prbably see the world in a cutsie way, i see it in a more what if way. thats probably why the out there worlds and real looking graphics pull me in.

the thing about ff games is that if you really do follow the plot line, you start to feel for the characters and what they go through. ff7 was not only emotional plot wise, but also as a gamer losing so much progress and not being able to do a damn thing about it. the world of gaming and relationships collided, tragically. sorry, i sound like a big nerd.

i didnt cry, my friend and i sat staring at the tv in total disbelief for about five minutes. then while playing the next half hour or hour we just kept saying stuff like "no, shell come back... it was a joke... a trick or something" haha, god im depressed now.

which is remarkably similar to the way i react to a girl breaking up with me... "no, she was just joking...right?" but then after a while you just have to accept it.

Excerpt: Chinese go online to torture, kill corrupt officials

AFP
Thursday, August 2, 2007

An online game in which players can torture and kill corrupt officials that a Chinese local government set up to teach people about the perils of graft is proving a roaring success, state media said Thursday.

"Incorruptible Fighter", developed by the government of east China's Zhejiang province, was launched just over a week ago and is already so popular that it is being redesigned to accommodate more players, the China Daily said.

"I feel a great sense of achievement when I punish lots of evil officials," one gamer surnamed Sun was quoted as saying.


The game, which lets players get ahead by killing officials by means of "weapons, magic or torture," has been downloaded more than 100,000 times, the Southern Metropolitan Daily said.

The different game scenarios are based on well-known incidents taken from Chinese history, but the parallels in modern China of people struggling against seemingly insurmountable corruption are clear.

In order to advance to a new level, the player must enter into an "Anti-Corruption College" to be lectured in more detail about ancient cases, the Southeast Business newspaper said.

Along the way Internet vigilantes are rewarded for the capture, torture and killing of not just corrupt officials, but also their sons and daughters.

Once the player has punished enough corrupt officials, graduating through successive layers of vice, he or she enters into a graft-free paradise.

"We want game players to have fun but also to learn about fighting corruption, folklore and history," said Qiu Yi, a local official in Ningbo, one of Zhejiang's most prosperous cities.

Some experts have questioned, however, if the game is targetted at the right people.

"Government officials should be the ones getting anti-corruption education, not local youngsters," Peking University professor Wang Xiongjun told the China Daily.

Corruption is a source of immense and growing anger among ordinary Chinese.

President Hu Jintao has identified corruption within the Communist Party as one the greatest threats to its legitimacy as rulers of the country, and the government regularly authorises the real-life killing of people for graft.

The former head of China's food and drug watchdog, Zheng Xiaoyu, was executed last month for corruption, with his killing hailed by the state-run press as a warning to other corrupt party members.
