Other Games...

As well as the two mentioned below I have spent the past week and a half playing through some other games that I thought had some very interresting aspects to them. These were; Wild 9, Descent 2, Morrowind, Soul Reaver 2 and Gears of War. All these games may seem vastly different at first look but it wasnt the actual gamplay or themes that I wanted to concentrate on more the way in which that particular game had achieved something that I wanted to make work in my game, in Gears of War for example it was the detailed environments that i was looking at and the design of them which make the fairly mundane story alot more interesting for the gamer to play through. This isnt to say that the story to my game will be mindane in any way but as I am focussing primarily on environment design I need the ones that i create to be just as engaging.
