Raptured Reality: Core Concerns
http://raptured-reality.blogspot.com/2011/03/core-concerns.html
Friday, March 25, 2011. Earlier in the week news surfaced. About the cancellation of a sequel to the highly regarded N64 title Perfect Dark. As well as its prequel Perfect Dark Zero. While not surprising, the cancellation brings with it some interesting tidbits about the direction of the abandoned game, and suggests that it wasn’t going to embody what it means to be a Perfect Dark. The first clue to this is the implication that Perfect Dark Core. Franchise, separating Perfect Dark Core. Alli - Sums up my...

Raptured Reality: That Other XCOM
http://raptured-reality.blogspot.com/2012/01/that-other-xcom.html
Sunday, January 22, 2012. When XCOM: Enemy Unknown. Made by Firaxis Games) was announced via the latest issue. Anyone who follows me on Twitter. Titles on the way, I think it is frankly bullshit. Which was, in a lot of ways, better than the original classic. I'm not saying that their version of XCOM. Will or won't be a great game, but the fact that we don't know yet means that we shouldn't be passing judgement, which is my primary issue here. Is lavished with praise and interest? 8221;, the problem is on...

Raptured Reality: PC: Personal Conquest
http://raptured-reality.blogspot.com/2011/07/pc-personal-conquest.html
Thursday, July 14, 2011. Finally, a game like. Crysis is actually available to me. As some of you may know, I recently purchased a computer that is capable of playing games. This might not mean anything to the rest of you but, for me, it is a significant hurdle that I have finally overcome after years of being behind and years of being unable to experience what is a significant part of the medium I love. Purchases for examples), and one that I absolutely enjoy with more enthusiasm than I perhaps should.

Raptured Reality: Amongst The Stars: Super Mario Galaxy
http://raptured-reality.blogspot.com/2010/04/amongst-stars-super-mario-galaxy.html
Wednesday, April 14, 2010. Amongst The Stars: Super Mario Galaxy. I have a confession to make, one that I imagine a fair few of you will be quite displeased with: I am not a true Mario fan like most Nintendo loyalists are. I never have been, I never will be. It's not as if I dislike the Italian plumber or the adventures to save the Princess that he finds himself embarking on, it's just. I prefer other franchises. It's not exclusive to the Mario. Series, either; I'm also not fond of Zelda. Looking over wh...

Raptured Reality: System Shock
http://raptured-reality.blogspot.com/2011/04/system-shock.html
Thursday, April 28, 2011. Three questions are being asked: Why did PSN go down? Why have Sony taken so long to communicate those reasons to its customers? And how did they allow such a thing, on such a serious level, happen in the first place? What happens once the initial problem and the justified panic that it caused, passes and things, for the most part, return to normal? To begin with, what does it mean for online, supposedly secure infrastructure? Like CDs and print, most people seem to believe that...

Raptured Reality: The Life I Live
http://raptured-reality.blogspot.com/2011/03/life-i-live.html
Tuesday, March 22, 2011. The Life I Live. When I purchased F1 2010. I bought it excited to finally be able to play a racing game based firmly in the realities of a real life sport that I love. I was eager to re-live some of the moments that made the real 2010 season so amazing, and ready to drive on both tracks I’m familiar with - but don’t get featured regularly in other games like Monaco. And Albert Park in Australia. So to speak), F1 2010. And as a result, acting like one too. In this way has revealed...

Raptured Reality: F1 2011
http://raptured-reality.blogspot.com/2011/10/f1-2011.html
Thursday, October 13, 2011. An E-Zine and online website, recently posted their review of F1 2011. Meaning that after many years posting here on the blog, I have finally been published elsewhere! While we're on the subject of Formula 1 games, I suppose I should address a few things. First of all, reviewing this year's title suggests that I have moved on from last year's F1 2010. And, by extension, that I might be done with my Living The Life. As far as other content is concerned, both the Metroid Marathon.

Raptured Reality: Preview Power: L.A. Noire
http://raptured-reality.blogspot.com/2011/05/preview-power-la-noire.html
Sunday, May 15, 2011. Preview Power: L.A. Noire. Part of a series of smaller posts that I'll be doing about various upcoming games. I don't jump on board the hype train too often, but when I do I like to think that there's a pretty significant reason for why, and in this series I will attempt to explain my anticipation for each game. By now it would be pretty obvious that I really like games that feature cities. Whether it’s the big names in Liberty City. And Red Dead Redemption. Or Red Dead Redemption.

My third run, still on...

Raptured Reality: The Year That Was: 2010
http://raptured-reality.blogspot.com/2011/01/year-that-was-2010.html
Monday, January 10, 2011. The Year That Was: 2010. Note: This post is a reflection on the entire year of 2010, as it was here on the blog. In it I'll reflect on how I thought the year fared, as well as add some thoughts on some of the posts I published throughout the year. Monday marked the third birthday of Raptured Reality. But enough about the emotional celebration; what did 2010 mean for Raptured Reality, and did it pan out as I expected? These games were important and convey that on here. The re...
