Well, my new webcam hasn't come in yet, so here's the next in my ''00'' series:the Graveyard...

Well, all I have to say about this is explained in the video, but I found this on Tale of Tales main webpage about the game:

''Of course there is the expected response of the typical gamers whose desire for zombies whenever they see a cemetery is apparently insatiable. They tended to describe The Graveyard as boring. Of course.
A little bit up the ladder of human civilisation, we find the people who were turned on by the idea but turned off by the actual experience. They were disappointed. From what we can see, this was either caused by a failure on our part to maximize the qualities of the game or by certain expectations coming from the player. Despite the fact that games are supposed to be interactive, many gamers still seem to be incredibly passive when it comes to the meaning of their entertainment. They expect to be spoonfed and dont seem to have any experience with literature, modern theater or fine art (or even art films) which require active participation, not just of thumbs and index fingers but also of heart and brain.''

Wow, what an insult to gamers. I love the Sherlock Holmes games and alot of other games where you don't kill things. I also go see Broadway about twice a year and when I'm not playing games read books and poetry. I still cannot enjoy this just because they call it a game. Sell it as an experience next time,please...

As always, the pictures are from their respective games and companies, and the song Transformation was purchased from TWEWY soundtrack off of iTunes.

Enjoy...I guess...
