PS3, X360- Dragon's Dogma
- Review
- Capcom has delivered an open-world game with tremendously fun combat, a hilariously crazy ending, and not much else.
PS3, X360, PC- Game of Thrones
- Review
- There is probably a great role-playing game to be made out of George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire novels, but Game of Thrones isn't it.
MAC, PC- Diablo III
- Review
- The first Diablo game in over a decade is also one of the most insidiously satisfying loot treadmills in almost as long.
PS3N, PS3, X360, PC- Prototype 2
- Review
- Prototype 2 gives you some interesting abilities that can be fun to use, but it doesn't give you enough good opportunities to cut loose with all that power.
PSP Go Ad!

I am in a related profession so think I can help a bit...I see some good postives but also some negatives that dig into the few positives. The sack boy is great and the angle of the Go is cool, but the white below the Go, is overpowering and wishy washy and not delicate as it would need to be. White is commonly used to give an air of elegance in advertising, it gives things a clean and minimal look. Your advert does not do this, in fact it makes a terrible mistake - your not showing the clean edges of the device, you break them up with white when you should be highlighting through contrast with white.
The bottom of the advert is good, I do like the spray of white there, but I think the top half should mirror that - you could make the spray/explosion circular. The text is awesome, you could bring it out better by using darker tones below, but you should keep the hints of light on the text if you were to do that. Now everything else is fine, I like the touches of red and blue, however my last criticism is that the images are not composed as well as they could be, and the number of them is suspect. They don't give the advert much balance or anything dynamic -neither is no good. - consider good composition. I would also consider more images *patchwork* and making them very faint as not to allow them to detract from the other positives. You could also select images better to create a dynamic feel, for instance, images could be used to make it look like they are exploding out from behind the Go. You should try and blend softer also, A lightpen and good software helps a great deal of course.
Think about the basics though, you don't need all that expensive stuff. composition and balance, consider what happens when you put a large image/colour on one side, and a smaller image/colour on the other. What does it do to the way somebody focuses on a picture. Where does it drag the eye.
keep playing around and planning designs on paper, draw a box and scribble features. There's not better place to work things out then on paper.
Hope all that helps :),
