Weekend Confirmed 67 - Ocarina 3DS, Dungeon Siege III, indie games
by Garnett Lee, Jul 01, 2011 12:15pm PDTSummer has arrived and Weekend Confirmed is ready to take it on with "Indie" Jeff Mattas joining Jeff and Garnett along with special guest Billy Berghammer. They start the show in Whatcha Been Playin? with a quick second look Shadows of the Damned, a first take on Dungeon Siege III, and Billy's playthrough of Ocarina of Time on the 3DS. Jeff brings a smorgasbord of indie games including Frozen Synapse, Jamestown, and Atom Zombie Smasher. The group moves on to discuss whether "community" in games can evolve beyond badges and stat keeping. And in the news the talk turns to the landmark Supreme Court ruling and World of Warcraft going free-to-play--or has it--before wrapping things up with Finishing Moves.

Garnett thinks Microsoft owes him something for Summer of Arcade, and THEY ARE DELIVERING. You get the last game for cheaper than you otherwise would have in any case, owning a Kinect or not. The magnitude of the discount is apparently insufficient for him, which sounds like a whiny entitled tween forum-goer complaint. Boo hoo.

It reminded me a child complaining that they got the wrong happy-meal toy. It's a freebie. In a world where publishers are nickeling and diming players at every turn, it was nice of Microsoft just to put on a promotion like this to give smaller, downloadable games a place in the spotlight.
I'm not going to buy the damn Kinect game either. I'll just spend my money on the games I want.
