Style vs. Substance



I'm a big fan of Silent Hill 4: The Room and I am very proud to say that, but it does prove the statement style over substance. Its intense surrealist art style broke even further away from what the original Silent Hill games have established, but the gameplay was more streamlined which made the game feel just like any other survival horror game. Sure, gameplay is an important aspect of video games, but if the style and execution are not fresh and original, we'll just be stuck with generic gray and browns. Art is hard, yes, but we can at least try.

The Blog Unleashed: A New Post

Gaming is fun, yes. But talking about it is something I can't get enough of. Welcome to the gaming blog, son. As blogging has proved in the years it has been created, noobs can become masters of the craft in no time. Hopefully, I can walk among the vast amount of video game blogs all complaining about the same thing. Our mission is to, hopefully, become something different among the consensus, contribute to the gaming culture, analyzing the shit out of what is going on with gaming culture, and trying not to be too serious about it. I think that about sums up what I want from this blog. As some might notice, I said "our". This blog isn't just about my views. I've got nicker to later post in order to get some variety and beards up on this blog. And finally, to relate to the title of this post, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed has just...unleashed upon the gaming public and we'll have some views on the force grip, force push, and all the other forces soon. Until then, have fun.
