We hear it all the time: Stories in video games suck. They’re too complex, too long, and ultimately too boring. But there are some successful examples of storytelling in games. What is it about the stories in these games that succeed where so many others fail?

Mass Effect 3 might not fully import your Commander Shepard, and I want a solution.

After reading some comments about used games sales equating piracy, I decided to explore why there needs to be a more of a distinction between a new and used game.

"Playing through Half Life 2 with the commentary on is a revelation. You won't believe the subtle ways that Valve is able to drive you to do and see what they want you to do and see without you even realizing it."

"Mike texted me to inform me that they were playing Super Sonic Racing. My response was "Amazing!" When he told me Sonic boom was next, I replied with three exclamation points."

"I can understand some of your points, but I also think Valve was looking to go in a slightly different direction with the game's tone as well. As was stated earlier, what worked in a three hour game won't neccessarily work in a 7 hour game.
Plus, I actually found Wheatley's "heel turn" to be quite scary and intimidating. Kudos to Stephen Merchant on that one. It's such an obvious, but methodical transformation. And when he acts angry and powerful, it really did make me as the player feel threatened."

"I typically don't nickname my Pokemon, but if I ever were too, I'd totally call my Timburr "Hacksaw Jim Duggan." Hii-ooo!!!"

And as you said, it's not like I could vote against Mass Effect with my dollars. It was the end of an experience that I've spent hundreds of hours and dollars on already. What other course of action do I have to express my distaste?
The industry is turning a dangerous corner. In the world of twitter and smaller devs with instant access to their fans, I fear the bigger studios risk falling out of touch. And if the journalists, part of our voice in the industry, take the side of the bigger publishers while making fun of a vocal minority, things may get ugly fast."
