Marathon Discussion Plagiarism Will Make Me God… Images From Antireal Wanted to talk about this situation after all of the current news has come out about it. I figured I wouldn’t be talking about this game again up until I had gotten my hands on the game. And since I didn’t get access to it during the Closed Alpha (not like I could say anything due to it being under NDA) I figured that would be during either launch or sometime after launch. Well unfortunately, news has recently come out about an egregious case of plagiarism happening to a lot of the graphical design work in the game. All of which showing up in the closed alpha. And all of it, (as far as what is known now) is mainly from one artist, Antireal or  antire.al  on Bluesky and 4nt1r34l  on Twitter. The above images show some of the of the instances that she highlighted on her respected social media pages, with them being blatant copy and past work from her portfolio, to in game graphics.     One of th...

Halo: Combat Evolved (Xbox) The Start of Twin Stick Shooters Halo: CE - Box Art With video games being an interactive medium, players can drop themselves into many different scenarios they would never find themselves in real life. While I have talked on and on about Final Fantasy and the fantasy/sci-fi setting that people could put themselves in. Some of those genres being massive RPGs, humble Arcade games, Platformers, in-depth Simulations, Fighting games, and much more. One of the big ones and probably the one that most people know even if they're not into video games is First-Person Shooters (FPS).  It's a simple concept, the camera is your vision, and in front of you is your weapon and an enemy for you to shoot. Then shoot the enemy with a simple tap of a button. BAM! Totally Accurate FPS     Make interesting levels, and interesting enemies to fight against, with a wide variety of different weapons and you have something to take the masses by storm!  You of cours...

Marathon Discussion - Bungie's Next Big Thing? Today was an interesting day to say the least. After a long while of not really knowing what this game is (at least with lack of game footage), we finally got some proper information on Bungie's next FPS game, Marathon , from there Gameplay Reveal Showcase. And so far my thoughts are... Interesting. On one hand I am interested in checking out this game, as I have since it was announced, and being a massive fan of Bungie and their shooters. But also wondering how well this game will do not only in the general gaming community, but also for people who are fans of extraction shooters. So I want to talk about my current thoughts on the game and what we have seen so far. Personal History COD 4 Promo Art Before getting into the game proper, I want to talk a little bit about my personal history with not just Bungie but also shooters. Because even though I've only mainly talked about RPGs and a fighting game, I am a massive fan of shoo...
