The Jimquisition: Linearity versus Replayability

As online multiplayer and extra, post-game content as become the norm, people seem to have forgotten exactly what makes a game worth coming back to again and again.

This Space Ark thing could be pretty cool

I have my eye onSpace Ark. From Strawdog Studios, makers of theGeonseries, it’s a paddle-type block-breaking game. That alone won’t win it any awards for originality or anything but one of my favorite games of this type is an arcade number calledPlump Popthat I played on theTaito Legendscollection. Wound up being my favorite game in the whole collection. Space Arkhas that same vibe for me. A little bit kookier spin on theBreakoutformula, I guess....

Valve store adds new Portal shirts, Portal thongs coming soon

I’m joking about the thongs, but as soon as I thought of it I envisioned a little white thong with the cake on it….or a pair of boyshorts that have the cake on the crotch and then “The cake is a lie” written on the butt. I realized that I would buy those, and also, that the Portal merchandise virus has spread to me too. It was inevitable, I suppose. I knowNick Chester told you we wouldn’t post any more Portal merch, but sometimes, Nick Chester lies....
