TGI Friday - Click the Link
It has been a relatively quiet week despite some announcements at the CES 2008. But there are still some very notable links again this week. Here we go.
The Escapist has introduced a new feature or column if you like where readers of the site and hence gamers, post their stories and articles which revolve around videogames. It is called Everyday Gamer and I have read a few of these and they are great stories which any gamer can relate to. My favourite one is Games are for kids by Mark Patience . Link
Next, it’s the review at Zero Punctuation of Silent Hill: Origins on the PSP by Yahtzee Croshaw. I have played the game and his review nails my experience with good humour. Link
Dubious Quality has written an article regarding the console war and people’s predictions with regards to 2007 (and how accurate they were) and now for 2008. It is a long one but worth reading. Link
The final link is about the person who designed my all time favourite game, Civilization, Mr Sid Meier. He will receive the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2008 Game Developers Choice Awards this February. Mr Meier was also the second person (after Mr Miyamoto) to be included in the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences’ Hall of Fame, which is an an elite group of interactive entertainment industry legends.
