Parallax CG: 16-Bit Adventurer
http://parallaxcg.blogspot.com/2015/02/16-bit-explorer.html
Experiments in Digital Culture. Sunday, February 1, 2015. I first became acquainted with Fez, a digital-only game, while watching Indie Game. The Movie, a film about the creation and release of Super Meat boy, as well as Fez itself; so as to keep the indie ball rolling. The fascinating movie, showed the development of the game, which is in fact, a peculiar mix between 2d vis a vis 3d worlds. Like most indie games which have become bestsellers, the game's creator, Phil Fish. IFX Reviews Portrait Video.

Parallax CG: Beneath a Steel Sky
http://parallaxcg.blogspot.com/2012/04/virtual-worlds-in-sky.html
Experiments in Digital Culture. Sunday, April 1, 2012. Beneath a Steel Sky. I firmly contend that the fan outrage at the endings and other aspects of the game can only be understood as a sign of how game worlds are starting to rival real life. Bioware, truth be told, doesn't make games, they make something in the vicinity of life simulations, a company working at the highest levels, firmly in the pantheon with the best of them, and with innovation strongly in mind.

Parallax CG: Rise of the Nonhumans
http://parallaxcg.blogspot.com/2012/02/rise-of-nonhumans.html
Experiments in Digital Culture. Wednesday, February 1, 2012. Rise of the Nonhumans. The Witcher 2 is phenomenally engrossing interactive story-telling. A perfect example of this comes straight at the prologue, which is a series of recollections, that can be played in any order, from the title character Geralt while serving king Foltest. In a mysterious turn of events, this ends in regicide and Geralt must flee and attempt to clear his name. Technically, the motion capture. Having said that, the spellbind...

Parallax CG: Massive Electrostatic Discharge
http://parallaxcg.blogspot.com/2014/07/massive-electrostatic-discharge.html
Experiments in Digital Culture. Tuesday, July 8, 2014. Infamous, an early ps3 exclusive title, is a superhero game without the trappings and the inherent baggage which comes with a superhero movie adaptation, since as history has proven, outside of the Spider-Man games, most such adaptations have failed deplorably. Cole MacGrath's electrical powers are intimately linked with the game's mythology, and the game's design and world-building are a case of quality over quantity. IFX Reviews Portrait Video.

Parallax CG: The Effect of Mass Effect 2

Experiments in Digital Culture. Saturday, February 12, 2011. The Effect of Mass Effect 2. Good science fiction serves as an analogy of real life.

Parallax CG: The Beast is One Mile from New Marais
http://parallaxcg.blogspot.com/2014/08/the-beast-is-one-mile-from-new-marais.html
Experiments in Digital Culture. Friday, August 1, 2014. The Beast is One Mile from New Marais. An even greater surprise is the political undercurrent present, as New Marais, where our hero Cole is supposed to get his new powers, is a thinly veiled post-Katrina. The greatest addition, is being able to work with other conduits similar to Cole; such as Kuo, the good girl, and Nix, the evil one; who are basically shoulder angels. IFX Reviews Portrait Video.
