The first thing I ever reviewed for this site and still one of my favourites. It's nice to see others taking the same approach but it definitely needs to be as simple and streamlined as possible.

Ambiguity works wonders.

As you say though Mark, it's hard to begrudge paying higher prices if it's going to a smaller developer. I'd sooner spend my money on this than on some online multiplayer!

I think my brain was just slipping into puzzle mode but the good professor is always going to beat me to it!

Take Red Dead Redemption, which I've been playing today. The gameplay is fantastic and the world around you is incredible. Put a terrible game in that world and it wouldn't be half as appealing. Put that gameplay in a dull, lifeless world and it would be equally disastrous.

They always talk about how important it is and its (almost) always rubbish. I find it hard to think of a game world that was genuinely (a) interesting and (b) impacted on the actual game." may I point you in the direction of GTA IV, Red Dead Redemption, any Zelda game or even Mario 64. Would you rather play through a game full of grey corridors and faceless characters? Personally I think that the growing detail and immersiveness of game worlds is the biggest step forward game design has taken in the last few years.

Game developers take note - this is not a good thing.

There are some great jibes at the games industry in there and even a piece of Shakespeare performed by aliens.

If Braid and Flower can't convince him otherwise, I don't see what will.

You really do need a mouse and keyboard for a game like this though, the 360 pad just doesn't have enough buttons to easily control everything.
