If you are feeling Jaded, check out Beyond Good and Evil

I just finished a game called "Beyond Good and Evil" for the Playstation 2. This game is definitely one of the best computer games I have ever played. What makes this game great? Interestingly, I can't put my finger on any one thing. The graphics, the music, the gameplay, the story - everything just clicked.

It is interesting that having worked on a game (TubeTwist) - I now can appreciate even more the level of effort that goes into a game like BG&E. This game took 30 people 4 years to make. Does this discourage me as an indie? Not really - I think that it helps you figure out what to shoot for. There is no way as an indie you could make a game as large and big in scope as BG&E - but there are certainly elements of the game that could be done by an Indie.

Anyway, if you get a chance, check out BG&E - I think it has something for everyone.

Played that game for PC...simply awesome art style and lots of fun moments. The only downer was that it was so short, but there is allot to it.

I agree about bgae. It was a simply brilliant game. Unfortunetely it flopped sales wise so i doubt we will see a sequel.
