16 Feb 2005 - 10 Years of BioWare, Part 1

Well, I'm one of the guys that have converted so far to BioWare, that I'd buy almost anything if it has their name on it.
Yes! My "Pants Pants Revolution" game idea has a market! Now if I could just draw pants...

Quote: However, he's right. If I can choose between two shooters, I know their gameplay won't be much different, so content may pull me to one side or the other.

What the industry really lacks these days is diversion in genres. Some old genres like classic graphic adventures are sorta dead, which is a pity, because most of us have enjoyed them a lot. And personally, I can't just swap a good graphic adventure to an action adventure or something, it's not the same.

Having said that, I still need to play the Syberia games...

Syberia is one of those highly underhyped adventure games that everyone who's into adventure games should play. It's like the Sierra adventure games "all growed up," with fancy graphics, great voice work and a pretty darn immersive story. Unfortunately, due to time constraints (and some pretty small buttons that I couldn't find), I gave up on the game early so as not to be uber-disappointed at having to stop playing at a really tense story point.

I will return to it, as I'd love to see how the story plays out, and how it leads into the sequel.

Wow... 10 years of BioWare, and I've been here for almost half of that. It's been great to see the company grow in my 4 years here, and I can't imagine how the "old-timers" must feel, seeing their little company become the world-renowned gaming juggernaut it is today! Greg and Ray must be so proud!
