Thought o’ the Day: Three Games in a Day
I played Mirror’s Edge, Dead Space, and Osmos in just about equal portions today. What have I learned?
The world is an unnervingly pristine, artificial place where you can only be free by running from the authorities and…
…avoiding the bloody, decomposing zombies in deep space that will bumrush you despite the heat you’re packing, which is actually…
…a blessing and a curse, since you affect other motes by giving a piece of yourself, modifying the energy and momentum of the world around you, an ambient place that…
…is navigated using your “Runner Vision”, taking the form of red-highlighted paths; or, alternatively…
…you can use your “Breadcrumbs” module on your space suit to produce blue, glowing trails to your current mission goal, but sometimes…
…it’s more fun just to float, and watch the system evolve and change around you, as you try to puzzle out how you can be the largest amoeba in the pond!
