Ten Commandments of Gaming: A Plea To Developers
As Gamers, we owe developers a lot: after all, without them, we'd have nothing to play. Likewise, developers (and producers) need us in order to survive: without our hard-earned cash, they'd be out of business. Despite all that they do get right, it's shocking how many things they get wrong. Many of the staples of current-generation gaming are obviously both flawed and outdated. In an effort to further the identification and prevention of such ghastly gaming conventions, Spawn Kill would like to present game developers (and the rest of the world) the Ten Commandments of Gaming.

Remaking Final Fantasy VI Amano-Style
Recently our very own Kevin Tucker wrote an article with seven well-thought out reasons why Final Fantasy VII should remain in the annals of history and never see a remake.

It was a way to game vicariously through a few simple, innocent pages, and one of the first ties I established to any game I had my heart set on playing through. Unfortunately, it's also a familiar constant that gamers new and old can kiss goodbye with the decision to downsize the distribution of manuals entirely, spearheaded by Ubisoft, and perhaps many more companies to follow.

Better Worlds
How do you explore a world where satellites can capture an image of nearly anything from miles above the surface of the Earth? How do you adventure on a planet rife with unknown diseases and poisons liable to kill you in seconds with no known remedies? How do defeat that fickle boss, Boredom? The answer to all three of these questions is, arguably, you don't. And because you don't, you pick up a controller and you play a video game. (more...)
