Interactive films

Today, I'd like to take a moment to talk a bit about the upcoming PS3 game Beyond: Two Souls, which is the spiritual successor to Quantic Dream's Heavy Rain. In Beyond, players experience the story of a girl name Jodie and her struggle with life and the paranormal. Like Heavy Rain, Beyond looks to be a very story-centered game, but is there such a thing as too much story in gaming?

A quarter-century

Today is my 25th birthday. While I can honestly say I feel like an adult these days, it still seems hard to believe quite that much time has passed. Besides the oddly quick advancement of the ages, the last quarter-century has treated me well. I hope I'll be able to say the same in 2048.
