Frictional Games interview

[Dendra]

Yo guys, this site made me start playing CIV series again (sorta competitively - though my fav always has been Alpha Centauri), anyway, I've just got interested in horror games after reading an interview with Frinctional Games.

They're supposedly some big shots in horror games. Anyway, think I'll give their games a try (Penumbra series for starters). See ya around folks, have fun

I don't have much of an interest in their games but I've heard good things about them

 

[Dendra]

I never was much of a fan of adventures and such myself, mostly because they are so linear, limiting your options. Though these guys seem different, deff gonna give it a try - along with some other titles, including CIV5 when I find time for some epic games

Yeah I suualy get adventure games when on sale on Steam However, I've realyl enjoyed many of them and usually end up replaying them.

Dark Messiah of Might & Magic has awesome gameplay.
Call of Cthulu: Dark Corners of the Earth is pretty sweet and I love that your character actually reaches out and uses the objects he interacts with instead of using some kind of psychic power.
Mirror's Edge, beautiful and well designed and a lot of fun, especially for a mere $5!
Metro 2033, currently on my second playthrough, such an awesome setting and solid gameplay.
Mass Effect (2), amazing. Love this series and setting.

Which one of those games are adventure ?

 

[Maniacal]

All of them, more or less with other genres mixed in, to me an adventure game is when you play as a specific character with a story-based usually linear game.
