@hamishtodd1 Glad to see you're still writing these things. Very insightful as always. I disagree on Uncharted but that's beside the point.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@hamishtodd1 I suppose so. But I don't feel that way when playing them. My complaint about UC is the shooting is terrible and out of place.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@hamishtodd1 I am not sure what you are suggesting. All games are "lying" to some degree.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@hamishtodd1 I think@cmuratori has shown there are some who would argue that even Portal just makes you "think" you're awesome.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -
