Metriod Other M
Been playing through Other M for a bit. It’s one of the best mash ups of old school and new school level design and platforming. And its so pretty!
In typical Metroid fashion some of the puzzles will have you scratching you head for a bit. The controls take a little bit to get used to but I highly recommend it if you like story driven SciFi games.
Wow! this would make a really cool movie. I am now hyped for Deus Ex : Human Revolution.
I’m back from Kenya, what a beautiful place! During my 7 days there, my family and I visited the Samburu national reserve and the Mara plains where the Masai Mara live. I’ve taken lots of pictures and will post them on Facebook as I get time. If you want to see higher quality versions you’ll find them at vkidd.com
Kenya
Will be travelling with the family for the next 10 days. If your trying to reach me email is your best bet. I don’t know if i’ll have access to internet but I’ll get back to you if I do. I’ll take lots of pictures!
Games I can’t wait to play
I’ve been playing a lot of Super Mario Galaxy 2, and Sin and Punishment : Star Successor lately; yes I finally bought a Wii and have been enjoying it greatly!
Heres what I can’t wait to get my hands on:
A really cool project that illustrates how a simple idea and great execution gets you awesome results. Thanks to Denver for the link!
Two epic games
Over the last two months I had the pleasure of being able to finish two awesome games: God of War 3 and Red Dead Redemption. Two games that are epic in scale, story and art work.
If you don’t have a PS3 it’s worth buying one just to play God Of war3. It is the craziest, most over the top game / movie / interactive experience I’ve played in a while. It is hands down the most beautiful and awe inspiring game I’ve seen so far ( screens don’t do it justice, you have to see this thing in motion on a nice HD TV! )
Red Dead Redemption satisfies all your Wild West needs and cravings. Much like GoW3 it’s story line and character development is top notch. The game plunges you in to an incredibly expansive, developing old west. It is full of settlers, small shanty towns and quirky characters that you can interact with. The game also reproduces the wild life and eco-systems that play a significant part of these character’s livelihood. Rockstar has perfected the art of creating truly immersive open worlds for you to make you mark in and Red Dead Redemption is a shinning example of that.
Gorillaz Stylo
Saw this on Howie K’s Blog and it reminded me of how much I love the the Gorillaz. Check it out!
Their collective artwork ( music and visual ) are great examples of how to create immersive fiction by combining music with character design, 2D, and 3D art. Feel Good Inc. is another awesome example of this.
Jamie Hewlett is the creator of the dark, edgy Gorillaz virtual band members.
