I just have to let him know. I have to give him a message, before my conscience is too far gone and I become unrecognizable, if I’m not already. I have to be sure that Ethan will know how to… Read More »
We left Riverwood together, but it didn’t take long for Lydia and me to split off from Delphine and Esbern. Everyone got along with one another just fine, but Esbern tended to walk slower in his old age than Lydia… Read More »

I like the idea of a diner being a place of purgatory. How many times have I gone to a diner in the middle of the night just because almost nothing else is open? I look around and see half… Read More »

May 18, 2012 at 5:48 PM Kotaku has a nice article about dialogue in RPGs. This topic could fill a book, but this article is a good start!

Of course, I can’t use my real name on these “news” stories that IRIS blasts out to the entire population of Hillys. It would only take one person to recognize my real name and say, “Isn’t Jade the woman that lives at the lighthouse with all of the orphans?” I would never forgive myself if any harm ...

May 16, 2012 at 6:31 AM Kill Screen tells a very spooky in-game story about ghosts in Red Dead Redemption, which shows that games can inhabit a very real place in people's minds where we search for real meaning behind game experiences.

May 15, 2012 at 5:08 PM This is one of the few "Top --" lists I am really excited about reading, whether I agree or disagree with all the choices! The intro video takes some cues from David Attenborough and the Planet Earth series...which is great, in my opinion.

May 15, 2012 at 4:04 PM This FPS has a great, Japanese art style. I'll be excited to try it out...if it comes out in the US...
This Looks Like a Japanese RPG, But It's a First-Person Shooter (No, Really!)

Japanese games get pigeonholed: Young characters with big eyes swinging big swords. Screw swords, give them guns! Independent game developers Ayaemo Research Institute's latest project, The Legend of Alfur, is a PC first-person shooter.

May 14, 2012 at 7:31 AM There are lots of great in-game stories coming from an Arma 2 mod called Day Z. I don't own Arma 2 yet, but I'm definitely going to buy it in order to take part in such emergent gameplay!

May 10, 2012 at 11:02 AM Having just finished Beyond Good & Evil, I cannot wait for the sequel! At least it's in active development!!
Beyond Good & Evil 2 in 'active creation' - Shacknews.com - Video Game News, Trailers, Game Videos,.

Though Ubisoft has never said Beyond Good & Evil 2 was cancelled, it's been unnervingly quiet about the game. It's always nice, then, to hear creator Michel Ancel talk about the progress of development, as he has once again.

May 10, 2012 at 10:44 AM Bioshock Infinite was delayed until next year, which is sad, but I'll be happy with Dishonored this October in its place. :)

We may not be getting BioShock: Infinite this October, but stepping in to fill the gap is what - in my brain at least - occupies a similar space:

May 4, 2012 at 10:55 AM Sara has a new review of Dark Strokes: Sins of the Fathers! Even if you don't know about the game or don't think you'd play it, this review is a great read, because it really talks about what games can do to really draw the player into the game world, even if it's not a RPG or Adventure game.

I just have to let him know. I have to give him a message, before my conscience is too far gone and I become unrecognizable, if I’m not already. I have to be sure that Ethan will know how to get us out from under this spell. He must think that I have died; that all of us are already gone.

May 4, 2012 at 10:52 AM Here's a great article about engrossing game worlds, which obviously directly leads to great In•Game Stories! I agree that game writers/creators need to work more on actually making game worlds and characters more engrossing and immersive. It takes intention and effort.
