MTV Multiplayer » Blog Archive » What Made Me A Gaming Journalist
 
(I'm gone for one day and I already forget my MTV log-in. I used an older one that someone else made for me. Let's try this again): @Reeteshinator. No. During J-School it hadn't occurred to me to b a games reporter. I was invested in the seriousness of reporting and assumed that I needed to do "serious" reporting, putting my skills and degree toward some sort of public good. It was only after years of not feeling like serious reporting excited me -- and not thinking I was nearly as good at it ...... more

@Gamesdismantler, Thanks for the kind words. I'm calling on gaming reporters to apply even more effort to their reporting, to not settle for an e-mail when a phone call might get you more information, to not settle for one phone call to one person, when a second phone call to someone else might further enrich the reporting. That sort of thing. Putting in the work.... more

@moriartyL, Is Dialhex based on one of the GBA Bit Generations games? I had the full run and liked most of them. Dotstream is one of the best racing games I've ever played. Soundvoyager is interesting but not super-fun (I wrote an article once about how I played it while jogging with a Game Boy Micro). My favorite of the bunch was Digidrive, which is the only one not made by Skip. It has a steep learning curve, but is superb. It was made by Q-Games, the PixelJunk guys... more

@everyone, I am amazed at the support you've shown me in this comments thread and throughout the life of Multiplayer. I hope that, like me, you'll give the next phase of Multiplayer as much of a chance as you gave me. For those who are worried that I won't be doing the kind of journalism I did here once I'm at my new employer, don't worry. I wouldn't have taken the job if it wasn't set up so I could do what I've been doing. But I'm not gone yet. There's more Multiplayering to do!... more

MTV Multiplayer » Blog Archive » Game Diary - April 17, 2009: The Soundtrack Kept Me Playing
 
@No Use For A Name, Wow. Spot-on description of what's wonderful about Chibi Robo. Mushroom Men appears to be a series of arena-levels. Each stage reminds me of a Banjo Kazooie world. But, as far as I can tell, there's no hub world that links you back to the levels you complete. Maybe you can go back via a menu? But you don't seem to be in one big open world. ... more

@apoloimagod, But aren't there baseball fans who own a 360? and, given that The Show isn't an option for them, wouldn't you have expected the 360's one baseball game to do better than a game that is just one of two PS3 baseball games?... more

@No Use For A Name, That music stuff is the only reason I'm going back to the game. I'll mention in a future diary if I found anything interesting about it. Patrick had covered it before the game's release, and the clips we had of it sounded cool. But how it works in the final game isn't something I've seen or heard enough of yet.... more

MTV Multiplayer » Blog Archive » ‘Bionic Commando’ Preview — Die, Die Again
 
@Lunker, the difference between Bionic Commando and Mirror's Edge for me (having only played 4 hours of BC) is that Mirror's Edge felt like nothing I'd played before. It didn't feel like Assassin's Creed, which was also a parkour game, but rendered in a different perspective. On the other hand, Bionic Commando feels like a different flavor of stuff we've played, like the recent Spider-Man games. So while I think ME is a must-play on sheer originality alone, BC seems more to me like a game that's worth sa...... more

@jonostars, Thanks for the nice comment. I hadn't seen it until today (the day Microsoft extended the warranty for this E74 thing, which sent me digging for this post). It's still hard to say how many people had this problem. Must have been enough for Microsoft to take this action.... more
