Reviewing games from a cinematic perspective

Mass Effect 1 Review:

 

I made the argument that this game is the best Sci-Fi narrative to ever be on a visual medium. Trumping Star Wars Bladerunner and Alien. Lol.I mean that seriously though, I love those movies, but ME is just THAT good. For anyone interested in good stories, ME is the best for a game and best sci fi.

I've started a similar project with Mafia, but without giving a review, I've simply cut out the things that have little to do with the story (which does indeed leave mostly cutscenes and in-game scenes left).

 

I'm on 50 minutes now and about halfway through the game. I suggest you review it as well as its one of the best written storylines I've ever played (also Baldur's Gate, Planescape Torment, Sanitarium and some others). And this way you don't have to play the game, you can just take my "movie" :P

 

Here's the first four parts:

Interesting!

 

Unfortunately, I need to also review gameplay/story balance as well as how the interactivity works within the story. So I can't just review the story presented in cutscenes.

 

Cool idea for a channel though for people who may have missed previous games in a series!

I'd definitely play and review Mafia if you haven't already finished it before, not only because it's an awesome game, but it'll also attract a lot of views because of Mafia 2.

 

 

Either way I like your reviews so far and your argumentation, even though as always there are things I don't agree with :P
