I Make a Somewhat Tedious Connection Between Urbz and Dragon Age ll

in Game Topics by gamestatics.com

In 2004, a monstrosity was released into the gaming world—it was called Urbz: Sims in the City.  Met with lukewarm reception from critics and less than decent sales, it was quickly deposited into the 10 dollar bin at Wal-Mart, which was where I had the great misfortune of buying it when I was a young [...]

Incentive to Play and League of Legends

in Game Topics by gamestatics.com

  From the days of coin-op arcade machines to modern consoles, androids, and Iphones, one of the most important things a game needed to be successful was incentive to keep playing.  This is/was especially true with arcade games, where a game that failed to endear itself to a customer, or give them a reason to [...]

Some Quality Flash Games

in Game Topics, Mario Games, Platform Games by gamestatics.com

Well, gang , I figure I’d try something a little different today, if you’d let me. Flash Games are a lot like ant farms. There’s a lot of them, they’re super cheap, and they get boring after five minutes for most people. However, that doesn’t mean there aren’t a few diamonds in the rough you [...]

Playstation All-Stars Will Suck

in Game Topics by gamestatics.com

I’ve been doing a lot of writing in these articles about games that are doing things right.  I’d like to shift the conversation this time to games I think are doing it wrong.   Namely, Playstation All-Stars. …that’s just not going to work, guys.  It’s not.  I’m calling it now.  Once the novelty runs out (and [...]

Formulas in Games and Why We Need to Broaden Our Scope

in Game Topics by gamestatics.com

I discussed already in my replay value article how and why gaming has a tendency to stick to old formulas.   I even discussed formula in my Flash game article.  But I’ve never thought to define what a formula really is, and why, perhaps, it’s worth looking into exactly what we consider formula and broadening the [...]

Dark Souls: The Hardcore Storyteller

in Game Topics by gamestatics.com

I think we’re due for another discussion on Dark Souls.  Not only because it’s a discussion worth having, but because you all seemed receptive to my last Dark Souls article and I’m hungry for attention. We’ve discussed at some length the basics of why Dark Souls is the perfect art game: In summary, it allows [...]

Media Responsibility and Sexism/Racism

in Game Topics by gamestatics.com

I’m a bit late to the party when it comes to the firestorm and backlash that Anita Sarkeesian faced after announcing her intent to cast her critical, feminist gaze at the interpretation of woman in video games.  I commented on the backlash itself in my article about approaching conflict, but I never brought up how [...]

Replay Value in Games

Before I talk about my opinion on the matter, I’d like to go back and make sure we’re all on the same page with the background of this issue. It’s fairly common knowledge in the gaming world that the reason there’s so much focus now on multiplayer games, multiplayer modes, and other features that cut [...]
