Christmas is pulling near, time to whip out the Xmas NiGHTS.

What is it thats so good about NiGHTS, it certainly is a bizarre thing as games go.

I think the underlying thing is that, while it looks & sounds amazing, it has game elements........like classic gaming elements :

Score & time.

Back in the day these were standard in games, seems to have been lost somewhat no?

Score and Time were great but these days with the amount of space we have on digital medium we can create epic stories so games can last long enough and have an ending to satisfy the gamer. Unfortuntely a lot of companies don't do this and pump their games full of pretty pictures instead.

Sega needs to take their head out of their ass and make a sequel.

The same goes for about a dozen of their IPs.

Like Shenmue for example?? It was great of them to make outrun now they should let sonic rest for a while and virtua fighter and bring back some of their other titles.

Yeah I dont think what we can do & have now is bad, i just think the core of why NiGHTS is so good is that it was very much a "game" as opposed to say like adventure stories that we have now.
