Video games and movies are both rivals, Videos are an adventure while video games is an adventure which you control. But is the idea of a video games being an interactive movie the wrong way to go?

The problem with an interactive movie is the story is already set out and there is little room for you to manipulate this adventure. Wouldn't it be great if you are put more in control of the game.

How many of you would liked to of given Zelda a little slap when she asked for your help call her crazy go back to Kokiri forest and start up a little farm, when you get to the end of Nugget bridge in Pokemon and you are asked if you would like to join Team rocket how many of you wanted to say yes or in Perfect Dark wouldn't it be interesting if you would kill DR Carol and become an Agent for Datadyne rather than start the mission again.

But is a game where the player is put more in control of the way the game heads an actual possibility? Can developers do something like this?

Well the answer is yes as Nintendo are already working on it in the form of a game called Animal Forest. The idea is that you control a character who has no set adventure and that the life you lead with this person completley depends on the choices you make. The choices you make changes the world which you live in and your world will be completley unique to you and no one will have the same world as you. You can download your character on to a memory card and get him to explore other peoples worlds.

This is a story, an adventure which you create for yourself and gets rid of these linear adventures. Nintendo has declared that one day all games will be done like this.

But are they right are these types of games the future of gaming?

What do you think?

Here's to the future

Asking for a Gameaday might work or it might not.

I won a game for a sentence.

At least, that's what we all think, anyway.

So have I Kermit. Lots of contributions, no games. I know that I write things too long but I can't help it. Is it discrimination not to award people who write long reviews/comments? I can't help it! I find it impossible to write anything shorter! AAAARRRRRRRRGGH!
