Passage Options

[Saffy]

Passage is an artistic and highly simple game, but one I definitely recommend. I'll leave my words at that so as not to ruin the experience.

Didn't feel so much like a game as it did an interactive screensaver or something. Maybe I just did it wrong though.

You just walk for five minutes basically. It really isn't so much a game as it is a metaphor. As I said it's artsy.

It seems everyone is resorting back to the really old school style of games. It started it seemed with Megaman 9, Persona 4 had a few hints towards it (one entire area labeled "Game Zone"), and then we had Half Minute Hero, followed soon by 3D Dot Heroes. Its funny how history truly does repeat itself.

But we eat it up, because for guys like myself, this is what we grew up on.

I dunno, I grew up on the NES and I don't care if a game looks like it was made in 1987, I care if it's fun more than one time through. Mega Man 9 was fun and all, but really every main Mega Man game past #2 is really the same thing but with slightly different abilities and levels. The real reason classic games were fun was because they were straightforward. You had a game with lots of stuff you could do. Nowadays games have too much crap that take away from the actual game.
