I agree. I enjoy single-character games, but I much prefer adventuring parties, especially for a turn-based game.
Better graphics would be fine, but that's not particularly important to me…

But storytelling is inherently passive. The storyteller tells the story, and you listen, watch, or read it. It's also linear. There's a beginning, a middle, and an end.
So if you want to tell a…

IMHO, this is the wrong direction for games. Mainstream game developers have been misled by superficial similarities with movies. Movies are linear and passive; like books, they're a very good medium…

I loved the original Master of Orion (easily the best of them, IMO), and the tech system was one of the bright spots. Since you didn't have the option of researching every level of every tech, that…

Fans of the game have already done that. Sorry, my computer is down, so I don't have a link.
There are a LOT of old games I'd like to see remade (tops for me would be X-Com: UFO Defense, I guess),…

Yes, Space Rangers 2 is a great game. I liked the variety of it. (I wouldn't have liked the RTS part by itself, but in small portions, it was a nice change of pace. And you can easily skip them - or…

My problem in the first game was that the choices seemed meaningless, since there were equally bad results no matter what choice I made. OK, they wanted to make a "gritty" game, I guess. But with no…

There were a lot of interesting comments there, some of which begged for a reply, but I think it's a mess I should avoid (I didn't even read the original postings).
But I remember an RPG about ten…

I'd like to hear more about that, since the combat system alone will probably make or break the game for me (not that there isn't much more to a game than the combat, but I'm hopeless at most…

I don't mind when a PR text doesn't tell me about the gameplay, but I hate it when a review doesn't. All too often, a review will talk about the story and the graphics and even the music, but ignore…
