I probably could have written 70 questions but that would have been a very long, and probably boring, article! Read on to see if your burning questions are included. At the bottom is a short list of questions I didn’t include.

Poll Question 009 – Which is your most anticipated game of 2007?
This week’s poll moves away from the recent trend of discussing the actual gameplay and instead tries to find out exactly what game you are most anticipating for 2007.

Poll Question 008 – Do you prefer to play alone or with a squad?

One aspect that was introduced into Half-Life 2 that I didn’t like was the Squad feature. I recognize that having a squad around you varies the style of gameplay but I prefer to play alone.

Gamovie – Is it a Game or is it a Movie?
Introduction Whilst writing another post due later this week, I was thinking how cool it would be if you could completely blur the line between a movie and a game. Now I know this is a constant topic among game designers but give me a chance. This is just a concept, not a concrete proposal.… Read More

Poll Question 007 – What kind of puzzle do you prefer?
There are a few different types of puzzles used in FPS games but the most obvious are Jumping, Logistical (Press this button, get the power supply etc.) and Physics.
Now, having to choose one is difficult because it depends on the implementation.
PLEASE NOTE: The map is for illustration purposes only. I’m not asking if you prefer THIS map.
