mozidesign.com Unorganized Thoughts of a Game Designer

Random Update

Been while since I posted anything new, but the hits keep coming in. Thanks to all that visited. Looks like people actually read this stuff.

Anyways couple of new things about guess a good place to start would be with games. Recently I downloaded Prince of Persia classic off xbox live, and so far I am quite impressed. Though at times the game has been frustrating, it is still fun and true to the orginal design from 1989. So far I have gotten a good handful of achievements but they were not easy to get. The biggest difference that has increased the difficulty of the game is the AI. This time around they are not that stupid, and easily parry and counter-attack anything you can dish out. For the most part combat is a game of patience, taking turns parrying with the AI till you can find a weak spot to stab them a couple of times. Being in the Prince of Persia mood I dug up my copy of Sands of Time and started playing that again as well.

This past weekend I watched Ocean’s 13, overall it was pretty good, a lot better than the second one. The last two movies that I saw that had trilogy, Spider-Man 3 and Pirates: At Worlds End, were not so good. The action was there but story kind of fell flat for me at least and expected the same for this movie.Â
