I’ve been playing *God Of War* on my PS2. I don’t know. It got rave reviews. But: I haven’t been intrigued by the game. At all. Run. Slash. Nice enough graphics, nice enough animations, but so much gore, so much dark gray depressive scenery... What the hell happened to games like *Jet Set Radio*?

I’ve been playing Vampire The Masquerade - Bloodlines. It’s also got a really dark and dreary atmosphere. But that just makes the game more intense. You really start to feel like a vampire.
It’s about ambience I guess. 😄

Yeah, ambience is key. Where as I can imagine myself wanting to play a vampire, I cannot imagine myself wanting to play a crazy bloodthirsty mutilating Spartan steeped in gore... Ok, I’m exagerating. But when my inner voice only goes “Aaargh! Die! Ugh! Damn! Fuck! Bastard! Die! Aaargh!” – Then I know something is wrong with the game design. 😄

I feel like I’m playing the games of a fourteen year old’s dreams…
Well put! That made me laugh 😄 .

Heh heh. The only game in which I started feeling that way was Carmageddon. I just wanted to maul innocent pedestrians.
I didn’t like that game. Too bloody. But they did a good job of conveying the feeling. 😄
