Austin and Drew might be my ultimate dream team. Combine Drew's curiosity with Austin's Professa Killah skills and we may unlock THE WHOLE WORLD'S KNOWLEDGE
I dig this, a critique focused on a current game in the context of a bigger concept. Including other pieces to engage with the critical conversation doesn't seem like a bad thing to me?
SHOULDA KNOWN I'D GET SPOILED, HAD TO READ IT ANYWAY. I know I'm an outlier, but I enjoy wandering the hinterlands, picking herbs and doing nothing. I'm pretty deeply invested in the Dragon Age world, so I'll have to get this DLC whenever I finally finish the main game.
@halexandra64: I agree! I had made it nearish the end, past the Ice level and was stuck on an optional boss (i think it was only on the Gamecube version, against the copycat crew?). I just don't know where the memory card with my save file is, if it even still exists ;_; anyway, thanks for writing a great piece that gets conversations/reflection going!
These guest columns are already instant must-reads for me. Great stuff, and I just saw a Skies of Arcadia image in the podcast so GOTTA BOUNCE AND LISTEN TO THAT (and maybe finally someday finish that wonderful wonderful game).
I've followed Insomniac Games just about everywhere (except for the PS3, though that purchase was out of my hands) so I guess it's time to get over my fear of underwater levels?
I remember thinking once it would be cool if the site did this, and Austin went ahead AND MADE IT HAPPEN. This is gonna be a great way to get more awesome pieces into my browsing habits (and if there's anyone here who likes writing but isn't necessarily doing it professionally, you can also always get your work featured in the Community Spotlight!).
