The new issue of the PDF magazine The Inventory is available for download from www.theinventory.org . In the new issue you can find:
- A preview of Fenimore Fillmore's Revenge, accompanied with new screenshots
- Interview with the developers of the 13th Doll
- Review of the German version of Nibiru
- Review of Journey to the Wild Divine, the first adventure that uses biofeedback!
- Review of Riddle of the Sphinx
I just looked through it ... there's an editing mistakeÃ, :P (the comment on The Riddle of the Sphinx is next to the review for TROTS as well as next to the Review of "Wild Devine" ...)
But apart form that it seems to be quite interesting.
That "biofeedback" thing seems quite interesting. I'm sure buying that game - if for nothing else, I need to learn relaxation techniques. :)
What's biofeedback?
Ohh ohh! My Psychology course DOES come in handy.
Biofeedback is a way of monitoring stress levels and what causes them through a machine and lotsa wires :D
So, this requires extra hardware? ???
Why not read the review? Or, if you don't want to download The Inventory just for that but are interested, you could visit the website of the game (http://www.wilddivine.com/).
Yes, it requires extra hardware, which comes with the game - because of which (and the review makes mention of this, but I would've put in huge letters right at the beginning), it costs $160 (US). I mean, it's an interesting idea, but not that interesting.
...oh. I didn't notice the price.
Whatever. I'm all up for new ideas and innovation, so I'll somehow find the dough for it. Hey, wouldn0t have been the first time I bought something I regreted - I forked over 20 thousand escudos (100 euros, and roughly 100 USA dollars) for The Games Factory. Imagine my surprise when I learned that everyone could get a free serial of the thing if one looked in the right places. Not only that, but it was too hard to make a simple adventure game, AND to top that I lost the CD and all I have now is the manual...
...anyway. I've also got Quest for Fame, and like I said, these extra little things are great - they keep the whole thing fresh, in a way. So I'll somehow get the money, I want to support these innovations. And I wanna enjoy the game too, accourse. :=
I never get enough of the inventory, keep em coming guys! ;)
