I see björk's and mine formal analysis of gameplay discussed often in relation formalism/structuralism in literature theory. The idea of for in our piece draws from the aesthetics and at theory (Clive Bell, 1914) which seems to be missed.

I started playing the Silent Hill 2 remake, but its save system makes session times a bit too long for the time I can commit. I also started playing the new Dragon Age. It has a working save system, so I can stop when I run out of time.

I think this was the first one I saw, and there was no going back (although in Finland, what you could get your hands on in the late 80s and early 90s was rather random, as X-rated movies were illegal to sell/rent). The Thing, Evil Dead, and Day of the Dead were the ones that got me hooked.

Oh. I never noticed who the voice actors in Gabriel Night: Sins of Fathers, like Tim Curry and Mark Hamill. I did not even remember that the game had voice acting but maybe it has something to do with the sound capabilities of my PC when I played it in the early 1990s.
