Get a crash cart!  PC gaming is flatlining!  The former titan is reeling and consoles are set to pull the plug.  But what got us here?  Did developers and publishers abandon an already sinking ship, or has their absence brought about the end of an era?  Maybe gamers have migrated?  Whatever the reason, we plan to get to the bottom of it.

Free-Game Friday: Gravity Bone
By: Nick Simberg | November 20th, 2009

Gravity Bone screen2

[Free-Game Friday is a weekly feature in which a writer from the Gamer Limit staff looks at a completely free game and discusses his/her experience with it, allowing you to download it at the end. Feel free to check out our full schedule right here!]

Every once in a while, a game will come along that tells a story in the most obscure way possible.  There will be Charlie Brown’s teacher-style dialogue; the characters will look like they were assembled with building blocks; you will be a spy… I think.  It’s hard to tell what’s going on, honestly.

This time, that game is Gravity Bone.  It’s free, and it’s a sublime gaming experience.

dragon age origins 540x301 Gamer Limit Dual Review: Dragon Age: Origins 360 & PC

[Join Kevin Miller and Chris Carter, as they both review Dragon Age: Origins for the Xbox 360 and PC. Intro by Kevin Miller.]

Morality is never black and white. It’s shades of gray, and difficult decisions that require thorough thought. And in these moments, as a person, you are shaped by those actions and decisions. The results of which you will have to live with for the remainder of your days.

Games have always had difficult times with those shades of gray. Morality in gaming has matured over the years, and it is Dragon Age: Origins that undoubtedly brings this gameplay element to where it needs to be. But is this unique storytelling element enough to live up to all the hype surrounding this latest RPG from Bioware? Can a game five years in development still stay fresh and rewarding amongst the many triple-A titles of 2009?
