But still, a far beyond average Japanese RPG. Also, I&#8217;m heavily involved in old-school western RPGs like the Icewind Dale series and detective\u00a0point-and-click, such as Gabriel Knight and Broken Sword. When it comes to outstanding experiences that do not fall into the former categories, then I\u00a0can only think of \u201eDisaster: Day of Crisis\u201c, by far the most consequent game ever created, a mix of a disaster-movie adaptation, the Rock, wii motion controls, every gameplay mechanic you can ever think of and giant hamburgers as medipacks. It plays exactly as this\u00a0sounds like and I\u00a0would recommend enjoying it with alcohol on the side and a wii-zapper.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding everything else, I could prepare a 3-days-straight lecture of how superior and experimental the gameboy color and the bulk of its games exactly is or that Assassin&#8217;s Creed: Black Flag is the most fun you can ever have in your life ever..:)<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>What kind of work did you contribute to Orwell?<br \/>\n<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I conceptualized the intro cinematic together with Daniel, Mel and Michael, which developed into creating concepts and storyboards.
