Agreed.

This might end up being a “game changer” in regards to what is being put out as quality games. This came off as more movie block buster type if that makes sense.[/quote]

Uncharted 2 & Bioshock were the “game changers”[/quote]

Maybe, I played both and I would lean that way also.

Maybe this is even upping the game? I mean PX and I have discussed this a ton, games are no longer about just fucking killing things (to adult gamers) or online fighting 14 year old kids. Its about an entertainment experience where you have a hand in the outcome. A “movie” that you control what the main characters do. A story line that you determine how its done. Weak story lines and repetitive games should be on the down slope, games that draw you into the experience and you are not just bored with the videos between shooting something.

Uncharted series and Bioshock are great examples (except Bioshock 2 was not the same as 1 or 3)

Re-read the chapter on the uncanny valley. It was a doozy.

A sad day for gaming, so many fond memories.

Yeah, that was a bad idea. The CGI is horrendous, the main detective Grimm guy (and his fiancee) have no personality, and I still have no real idea why the monsters are so afraid of him aside from the general reputation of Grimms. He’s an absolutely regular guy - no special abilities other than being able to see them - and really has no reason to be kicking monster ass.

It doesn’t get much better in the second season. The Monroe sidekick guy needs his own spinoff. He’s the best part of the show.

Pretty much, yeah. Revolution seemed good the first few episodes, but I fell off track watching it and I’m not sure if it’s gone wacky.

Syfy has a show, Defiance, coming out next week that looks hopeful. Supposed to be a post-war setting with humans and several alien races living in a wild west-type town (formerly St. Louis).

My only worry is that the show is concurrent with an online video game (same world, same time, different location), so they may overdo the crossover.

Alphas seems to be the most unique idea out lately (as far as the writing not the idea itself). Grimm just makes me cringe. The lead guy is so vanilla it makes vanilla seem like chocolate…and the wolf side kick has the most personality of anyone on the show and he isn’t even meant to be.

I could write better than that in my sleep and they got signed for another season??

WTF.

X-files should have set the stage for better and better…not worse and worse.

Don’t even get me started on what a let down Walking Dead was for me.

Computer games are not for kids anymore. I want story and graphics. That is why I liked the Assassin’s Creed series even though I thought they could have done better with the basic story.

The only time I even play “fight games” anymore is if someone else is at the house and we go head to head. By myself, it is usually games like AC or the God of War series.

Years from now, I have no doubt that games will be full out “experiences”.

Uncharted and the new Tomb Raider are games that bring you deep into another world and that is what I want.

They’re evolving Grimm. Now that grimm guy is doing matrix moves and his wife is seeing ghosts. Welcome to season 2.

While i think it is always good to give a new show a few episodes to flesh out before you judge it, there is a line to cross.

Fringe was like this. If you were to base how the whole show would go off of the first few episodes, you would have missed out on what turned out to be a decent story line and plot with some good ideas. It became something good enough to have a significant fan following.

Grimm hit the scene with a very weak idea and it looked like they didn’t even think they needed new writers until the second season.

How long were the overused ethnic names going to last?

I actually thought it was a good idea to base this on the Brothers Grimm…but they fell way short because this had GREAT potential. I mean, they had Supernatural as a guide which was done very well in comparison.

The difference? The brothers in Supernatural were TRAINED to do that so it had some style to it…plus they liked guns, cars and rock and roll which fleshed them out even more.

This lead has nothing…no moves, no music, no style and no badass car…and they made the black guy the weakest damn character on the show when he actually has the most acing experience of the two.

Joss Whedon said he’ll make a sequel to Serenity after he wraps Avengers 2 and Nathan Fillion is done with Castle.

Bonus points for already being called Nathan and making the whole name recognition process easier.
