Can’t say I’ve really been a fan of the series, possibly ever (i have my doubts about my first one which i found to be an original setting) BUT i must say i’m proud of the game industry producing such moving stuff, in any context!

Just cinematic beauty…

I do believe this might be my favorite Mario derived work ever )

I’m posting this though I’m not particularly drawn by the game because it is in the direction we hope to see gaming go: it’s human oriented, not technology oriented, it’s about feelings and down to earth, style (i like the light billboard & tree shadows occluding a bit)… it’s about content and creating human emotion, not points or achievements.

A superb mix of ancient gaming memories brilliantly integrated even with… (no spoiler )

hmmm… maybe that’s the reason i haven’t been posting… i really don’t see anything exciting this holiday around. I mean it occured to me that it should be the round of thanks giving and christmas and i remember in other years i used to be drowning in super awesome games this time of the year… and sure, there is the financiar reasons too holding me back but … i still say it’s the games. I mean i COULD be playing on my quite capable pc at this time (needed it for work, no gaming reason), i even got a handy dandy xbox controller… but … why bother? for war shooters, multiplayer games and best case scenario strategy oriented multi character management rpgs? why bother. your’s truly, games nut. void

Actually I’ve found while trying to design the perfect games in my mind that life is indeed the best made game out there, sublimely balanced to keep us constantly hooked, by some truly genius game designer… but I had to post this not only because it was a fascinating watch but because in both presentation and content it relates to what this website is about… showing that games can be deep/gamers aren’t the dumb ignorant people the media portrays them to be.

Hasn’t really captured my imagination or artwork awe quite yet (unlike Prince of Persia: Two Thrones, but that’s a tale for another time) … but it does seem it is high enough budget that it might be interesting and with some luck it should provide some unique imagery (and a testimony to where games have gotten these days) … but the real reason i’m posting this is the brilliant comment of somebody to the trailer pointing out the irony if say some developer made a game based on this movie… which is based on a game
