New Tween Game!

Simpson’s Paradox on the new Garden Party game:

I checked out the game, which is billed as a safe, multiplayer world for kids. Garden Party is a collection of minigames, which can be played interactively or alone, at which you win the local Garden Party currency, Orbs. The concepts of the games were cute, and able to be played interactively or solo, but I’m not really the target demographic, so I found them a bit repetitive and simplistic. I didn’t really like the ratio of orbs to mingames, as I felt forced to play boring minigames to make the cash for the fun part of Garden Party, the garden. I don’t really need a game for the opportunity to do something not-so-fun to make money to do fun things… I think that’s called having a job.

Linger in Shadows for PS3

Linger in Shadows is defined like a game to be not a game !!! I know it s not very clear but following an interview from the productor Rusty Buchert, he said that Linger in Shadows is a simple and complete interactive experience and it has not been designed like a video games so it will never be a video games.

In fact, it looks like a kind of movie on which the only thing you have to do it s to sit and to watch it but in some moment, you have to interact with the movie, to explore the surroundings in order to find some surprises. For that, you will have to use completely your sixaxis and his main function, the detector of movement. If you want a better idea, you can watch this trailer Linger in Shadows.

Gaming and Finances

From the awesome Gamers With Jobs:

I am a miser. It is well documented that I do not like to watch numbers decrease; it sparks an uncomfortable dissonance in my progressive world view. I dread the presence of naught where once there was quantity, and so that makes me the kind of person who will put off paying for the heating bill in the middle of a Minnesota cold snap, just so I can artificially inflate my bank account with an impending paycheck before acquiescing to necessary impulses such as not dying of exposure. This stubborn numerical protectionism extends through to almost every corner of my life, save one.

When it comes to video games, I will buy virtually anything.

So true! What will you scrimp and save to buy?
