One of the most interesting aspects of the game Spec Ops: The Line is that the game clearly forces you to make several difficult decisions throughout your journey: saving the the soldier? Saving the civilians? Killing your ally to prevent his suffering? Letting him suffer a horrible death? Revenge? Redemption? Many games can give you the power to ( Read more... )

The last decision you have to make in the game is, for me, the best moment of the Spec Ops: The Line. Of course, the game had several excellent moments, but while this one was not the pinnacle of morality, it was very coherent.

This is the final point, right after Adams' death (excellent scene, by the way), when you are about to get your "prize".

The interesting thing about this next decision is that it is given you in a moment of extreme tension. Not as much tension as the part of the white phosphorus, but a tragic moment nevertheless.

Lugo has been killed by the civilians you were trying to help along the way. Adams is furious... and so are you.
You have a weapon in your hands and an ( Read more... )

Another interesting decision you have to make in Spec Ops: The Line revolves in another of Martin Walker's contradiction (as if most of the moral decisions didn't involve any of his contradictions).

If you either shoot the civilian or the soldier, ( Read more... )

It's been almost a year since I finished the game Spec Ops: The Line for the first time and only now I have decided to replay the game in a higher difficulty, paying more attention on several details of the game. One interesting thing about replaying this game is that once you've already been knocked out of your logical senses, the second gameplay ( Read more... )

A couple of months ago I finished a game called "Spec Ops: The Line". I think I made a couple of comments about it, but nothing really detailed and definitely no technical information, neither a critical analysis of the plot, which is surprising, specially considering how much the game has touched me. Back then, I had already planned to write my ( Read more... )

There are several opinions regarding a couple of games that I would like to share with my friends from Twitter, Google+ and Facebook, and most of them are really long posts, so I was thinking about not friend-locking the posts with my opinions about the games that I play. I think I'll leave them unlocked for now, in case any of them are actually ( Read more... )

Finally finished Bulletstorm's main campaign yesterday. The beginning of the game was pretty funny in terms of story, but I grew tired of it before I got halfway through the game. The ending felt very similar to that of Vanquish, which I hated. Augh, I think I have to learn to play games by what they really are and what you have to do rather than ( Read more... )

Finally finished Call of Duty: World at War and, while I was playing it, I had an idea for a Top 10 list.
