The FilePlanet Grab Bag

If you are reading this you survived Monday so congratulations are in order.  Welcome to the rest of the week.  They (the boss man) tell me to keep these blogs themed but honestly there are a few things I’d like to share that are unrelated.  So what am I supposed to do? (holds up hands) So I give you the option -

Watch awesome GTA IV Film – The Trashmaster >>

Amnesia: The Dark Descent by Frictional Games

The Independent Games Festival just opened their doors for the Audience Award voting on the 2011 finalists.  I was looking through the list and spotted Amnesia here.  Now forgive me for I’m a little shaken.  I took a big dose of game-play to prep myself to write this.  This game/immersion horror fest messes with your mind.  You run around in the dark and actually have a sanity meter (Did you hear that?) that is only satisfied if you have light which is damned hard to come by as it turns out.  I think I will need to take a break from this one and play some Dead Space 2. No that isn’t a good idea either… (Locks the doors and turns all the lights on!) I watched The Rite this weekend too. I’m all sorts of freaked out these days.

Atom Zombie Smasher by Blendo Games

I think the official classification for this game is puzzle-strategy but really I’m not sure what you call it.  You essentially have a top down view of a city grid and must plan the evacuation of the citizens during a “Zed” outbreak.  You choose the landing zone of the evac-bird and also where to place the defenses.  Each round for me typically lasted about 1 to 2 minutes.  The infected breed faster than Hippy-Era Rabbits so time and placement of your resources is crucial.  It is wicked fun and addicting.  This is a fine training simulator for our Heads of State when the REAL Zombie apocalypse gets underway.  Obama? Please?

GTA 4 – The Trashmaster Feature-Length Film by Mathieu Weschler

Vigilante garbage men in Liberty City? Yes please.  Director and creator Mathieu Weschler took two years to make one of the finest Machinimas I’ve seen in quite some time and he used GTA IV to do it.  GTA IV had all the right elements to create this Epic Liberty City Noir.  I won’t lie.  There were times it felt like a janky cinematic but most of the time it watched just like a feature film.  There is a lengthy chase and shoot out toward the end which I found particularly impressive.  Check out the high definition version here.

    played amnesia(demo) on steam few months ago
    ( don’t know why you guys are just NOW showing this)
    very creepy =) you can’t really see beyond your candle and with playing with headphones i found made it that much better!
    And trying to evade an invisible creature is maddening.
    Lost of jumping, especially in the pitch black when you can’t see, i found annoying – but still it was fun =)

    I too played Amnesia long ago via Steam. Unlike Gidea though, I really didn’t like it for too many reasons than I can list. The game was just painful. *sigh* I just don’t know what to say about it.

    Go try it out yourself and if you find yourself liking it…well… we really have different personalities.

      I would agree with you Spy, it’s strange though many love it. For me it didn’t have the scare factor I was expecting, but I suppose everybody’s fears are different.

    • Anonymous says:

      You consider less than a year “long ago”? Hah.

    • Handshakes says:

      I’m with you. I tried it out after hearing many glowing recommendations about just how pants-crappingly scary the game was and I was super underwhelmed. I couldn’t feel scared when I was too busy feeling bored by the second-rate physics puzzles.

    • Fake Oakleys says:

      Its like you learn my thoughts! You appear to grasp so much approximately this, like you wrote the e-book in it or something. I believe that you simply could do with some percent to power the message house a little bit, but other than that, this is great blog. An excellent read. I will certainly be back.

  3. Revan says:

    Bought and played Amnesia some time ago. Very scary. The fact that you have nothing to defend yourself with really ratchets the tension level while exploring. If you love Lovecraft stories this is a game for you. This is what Call of Cthullu: Dark Corners of the Earth should have been. After this game, Dead Space felt like Call of Duty in terms of scares and foreboding atmosphere. Not that Dead Space isn’t a great survival horror game, mind you. It’s just that Amnesia is pure horror. Only survival skills you have are to run and hide. I had to take breaks after certain scenes.
