Whether or not you enjoy this game, you have to admit that it's come a long way from an open-sourced free gnu/linux game developed by a small but dedicated group of people. I think I might buy it anyway, just to support the devs, much as I did with World of Goo and Defcon. And anyway, Trent Reznor gave away a free album and said "pay whatever you want." He raised $1.6 million in a week. If the quality is there, people do pay for free stuff.
I'm not into football that much but NFL Blitz looks kind of fun. I wish they'd release a demo for it. Now if EA remade NHL Hitz that'd be a day one purchase.
well, I can name only a few games that I enjoyed for Move; Sports Champions, Dead Space Extraction, and... well that's it, really. (echochrome II and Tumble get points for technology demos, really). I've tried just about every demo available for Move and those are really the only four I'd recommend. (NO! Get back to your island with your Eyepet, Dr. Moreau).* The technology's great, don't get me wrong. It's just that no one knows what to do with it yet. That's why developers put the option to use standard controls into motion-control enabled games; they don't want to alienate the other 40 million potential buyers of their game. Kinect has a much bigger problem; with no buttons what do you do? Wave your arms frantically at the screen? Anyone who walks by on the street and looks into your living room window will wonder, wtf? Couldn't that person prioritize and buy curtains first?
*yes I know EyePet's not for Move, it's for the Eye, but it was apt, I say. Apt!
Haha...yeah right. I think you'll have a tough time of farming Pure Bladestone. Took me forever, and I'm sure that when I cheered the neighbours heard it.
