Blood dragon just done that, he has 4 times the expected success, expect more of that soon. Also indie gaming.

We just need honest story period.

I'm watching game story movified on youtube and it expose how dumb all of them are. In the aaa field assassin's creed 1 is just good enough (mostly because it's focused and well pace) before sci fi bullshit. The series then get confused about what he want to achieive and became a kind of star wars wannabe (templar vs assassin) and loose a bit of it "theme" coherence, The 3 is a bit better but herit confusion. Unchatred is direct to dvd movie, essentially all the aspect of movie botch of the good part, However Unchartred 3 start to have spark of brillance, the beginning and at the end when the main have interractive hallucination, too bad it's narratively irrelevant, the entire game made with similar (interactive) technique would have been the decisive master piece, except with abyssmally formulaic plot, but still almost there. Mass effect has bullshit super arc, small arc have some great idea but it fails to gel as something more than typical saturday morning cartoon but for "adult". I'm going to watch fc3.

It help I have familliarity with genre but it's telling that the enjoyment of story are mostly irrelevant to gameplay enjoyment, only the hallucination part of uc3 made me which I had the pad in hand.

Now we still have IF

"self aware" and "meta" in a way that gets extremely obnoxious extremely fast.

i actually had blood dragon in mind when i typed that lol

btw: i'm totally ok with what some "art games" try to bring to the table story-wise, i was mainly thinking of mainstream "AAA" gams

I've been playing Fallout 1 and the Rising Storm beta (it's just Red Orchestra 2 Pacific Mode, but there's like banzai and flamethrowers and it's intense.)

Terraria. Sporadically. Very sporadically. Real life. Becoming. Too stronk. You know it's bad when you're becoming too busy for the internet.

Started playing Deus Ex 3 and it seems like it's trying too hard to be Deus Ex 1, I see soundtrack references, the office, the missions, and I am getting a strong whiff that the story is going to be the same and if that's the case I'll do my best to act surprised when I find out that Sarif Industries is the bad guy.
Cynicism aside, I am enjoying it.

Playing the new Call of Juarez, it's really good so far, I like the whole unreliable narration thing they've got going on.

Currently playing SiN for the first time, and it's way more fun than it's supposed to be. I'm just a sucker for these old BSP-based shooters.

I played DE3 for a while, never finished it, got to like the 3rd or 4th boss and hated it so much I never played it again.

Finished Call of Juarez Gunslinger, really neat game, kind of not sure if I'll ever replay it yet.

That...actually looks pretty cool. After months of arguing with J-Snake, I can finally see what he was actually up to. I'll definitely be trying this out.

Finished Spec Ops: The Line. The whole shooter aspect of it is as you guys said -- average at best. However, I liked the story and would definitely enjoy seeing more games go into similar direction.

Now back to Catherine. Which unfortunately is pretty shitty, even if still very interesting as a concept.

I find that Spec Ops: The Line only worked well if you thought of the protagonist as a hero. I've always disliked the American military, and having the whole, "You are not the hero" bit kind of just affirmed what I was thinking.
