Sure, I may be a little late to the party with an article about this game, but what strikes me about playing the masterpiece that is Rockstar’s Red Dead Redemption is my own conflict in the way I am trying to play it. This is something I have never encountered in a game before. Bioshock, Fallout 3, Mass Effect and other RPGs present you with an element of morality and choice, but it is all built-in as part of the game. With RDR, it is the narrative that I create, my own story constructed around the prescribed missions, that present the most interesting and challenging moral flashpoints. I have encountered a 3-way conflict when playing this game. When I started out, I wanted to play it as the good guy; I tried to be honourable and get my fame up and get the settlers to like me. My conflict: (hit the jump for more!!!)

Halo is one of the biggest franchises around. The Halo promo videos are some of the biggest budget trailers around. South African wonderkid Neil Blomkamp (Distric 9) made some amazing films 2 years ago for the release of Halo 3. To drive the Halo fanboys wild, it takes a large amount of production work. Just how much you can see for yourself in this behind-the-scenes look at "The Life". This short film was made in Hungary, and this video shows just how much work it takes to make a great-looking production like this. Will we see more "behind the scenes of the trailers" in our industry in the future? I hope so!

The past 2 years have seen the rise of the independant developer. They are appearing on more platforms, and reaching a wider audience than ever before. Johnathan Blow published his stunning game "Braid" on XBOXLive, and he made it all himself over a period of a few years. However; "Braid" was a single-player offline-only game. What Eskel Steinberg is trying to do is a much bigger, more complex, and potentially game-changing idea. His game "Love" is an MMO. Yes, 1 man is making an MMO! The game is procedurally generated, which, on a very simple level, means that the game writes itself as you play it. The advantage of this is that the game creates its own content. The amazing thing is, that this will be a game that you can play online, co-op with your friends. No two instances of the game will be the same! The graphical style is simple, yet beautiful as you can see from the image above and the trailer below. The big publishers like Blizzard will still of course rule the MMO space, but it is interesting to see independants moving into this space as well.
