Today’s game is some more Alan Wake II. I made into the subway today, and I almost did the Night Springs episode but opted not too. I did spend a bit of time messing around with Photo Mode though. I know I’ve said it a bunch, but I love this game’s photo mode. It really is the best one I’ve ever had the chance to play with. I only wish I did some sort of Super Resolution when rendering them. That would be great.

Sports games are a large blindspot for most video game historians – I admit it! When we look at the wide span of video game history, sports games only tend to get the briefest of mentions, especially after the early days. While there are many reasons for this, primarily I think it’s hard for some of us to parse how the gameplay innovations of early sports titles differ from providing a pure simulation, like non-civilian flight simulator. In a world where each major sport is dominated by a single franchise, the end result can seem inevitable rather than gradual. “If it’s in the game, it’s in the game.” Right?
