(I know, but he'd be able to dodge, and then he'd just take the knife away from me.) [/b] GF is said to be one of the most cinematic and film-a-like video game in history of those (at the same time it remained true to it's gaming nature). As such it's music scores is 100% perfect and not at all "too loud" or "distracting". I've just returned from cinema and believe me I know what I'm saying BTW Pirates of the Carribean is simply brilliant adventuresome film. Johnny Depp's performance is just amazingly hilarious! edit: One should also - stupid me - not forget about Geoffrey Rush's almost shakespearicly dramatic acting.

twifkak Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 Honestly. Were you - like me - inspired to dig in search for this after or before playing Grim Fandango? If not than I truly admire your almost renneisance erudition and interests. (no jokes here, really). But aren't such people as hard to find among video games reviewers as my tone implies? Actually, I looked over that list again -- well, maybe half those things. Yeah, I was stretching quite a bit. This is what work does to me, I guess. There's nothing wrong with that. It wasn't my point to suggest anything like this. But surely it isn't neccessery for a good reviewer to like anything in particular (like jazz or bebop - rocksteady! ) to be fair and objective in his argument and therefore produce a valid review. Now is it? Surely it can be helpful nevertheless - and with that I agree. I concede yet again. Hrm.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twifkak Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 On topic, I'm always a fan of stylized art. I have no idea who Velasquez is, or where that accent goes, but I could imagine a Broken Soul Edge style of graphics -- that'd be good. (A shiny nickel to whomever actually gets that. shipping not included) Off topic, I downloaded the Cibo Matto album Stereotype A from someone onto my MP3/Ogg player, but I can't actually play it, because the damn thing didn't update the database to actually put an item for the album in the menu! Grr. (It's not my usual style, but maybe that's why I dig it.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
