Skyrim - Ein Aufruf

Skyrim ist ein Rollenspiel in einer Welt, die man in der Entwicklersprache einen Sandkasten nennt. Vieles und noch mehr gibt es zu entdecken. Was immer Sie an Ihrem Rechner tun, wenn Sie spielen, zwei Dinge sollten Sie unbedingt mitbringen: Geduld und Muße.

When reality hits you hard - a call for non-action

What is so fascinating about firing a weapon? Why do we love to kill and hunt? Why do we play games that tout this kind of action?
 
In the wake of the turmoil that have emerged in the North African States and the pictures I witnessed and cannot eradicate from my memory, I dare ask again, do we actually need violence in our games?

PITCH TO THE RIGHT PEOPLE

Not everyone will care about your game. Certain sites focus on XBLA, other on iPhone apps. Rock Paper Shotgun focusses on PC gaming. And they don’t read releases about games that aren’t on the PC. Make sure you’re pitching to the right people. And don’t forget the little…
