Walking the Line: Open-ended vs. Linear

   0
We are in the age of open-ended gaming.

This is the era where games like Final Fantasy XIII and Mafia II just aren't 'open-ended' enough, and games like Mass Effect 2 and Red Dead Redemption sit at the top of the charts until the next big thing comes around. It's understandable that people enjoy the freedom and sense of choice that comes with games like that, and the industry is definitely moving in that direction. Even racing games added RPG elements in order to facilitate the modern gamer's need for customization and choice.

About TriggerOfHelone of us since 10:18 AM on 01.11.2011

Starting with the Gameboy, Matthew Lane has been playing games since before he could read; playing until his hands would literally sweat and he would have to wear socks on his hands.

Known for his ability to emulate 'turbo' button pressing without a turbo controller and that one time he won a Mortal Kombat tournament at that one sleepover when he was 11. His gameplay ability has also been recognized by independent game developer, Team Meat.



His other hobbies include acoustic guitar and tabletop gaming -- just not 4th Edition. Ugh.
