Agricultural Subsidies

Prey was a better than average game, but I felt it had more moral ambiguity than it wanted to allow itself (or really, as a 3D Realms produced 90s-style first person shooter, was capable of.)

If I wanted my video games to be like hanging out in a bar with a bunch of idiots, I'd probably just go hang out in a bar with a bunch of idiots instead.

[ video games Katamari Damacy quote ]

"What Ueda wanted to do with his second game, Shadow of the Colossus, was evoke an emotion. That emotion was to be the same emotion Ico evoked. According to Ueda, it's impossible for him to go out and declare which emotion that is. It differs from player to player. Whatever Ico made you feel, Shadow of the Colossus will make you feel the same thing. If you claim it makes you feel something different, then, Ueda says, you must have grown up a little bit since you played Ico. When asked how Ueda feels when he plays the game, he says, 'Tired.' When asked to elaborate, he says, 'Because I made it.'"
