Weapons are a curious thing. We all have our favorite and will fight and argue to the death to defend our choice.
In fact they can make or break a game. Weapons can be broken down into two types: Conventional Weapons (shotgun, pistol, machine gun, grenades etc) and Sci- Fi Weapons (Gluon guns, Hivehands, pulse rifles etc.
So, this weeks poll question is simple; which do you prefer?
There’s no doubt that game graphics have improved tremendously over the last few years, the same seems to be happening with game physics.
Unfortunately, game A.I. is lagging behind.
I’m sure things will improve but who knows when?

Introduction Thinking about Poll Question 3 got me thinking how a game designer could control the consequences of a player’s choice. Specifically, when a player chooses a particular path what’s to stop them from saving just before the choice and then going back later and taking the other path?

You reach a point in a game where you have to choose between two paths.
The paths do not cross and there is no way to replay either path.
Perhaps the game is a Single Player Online game, meaning you cannot just load from a save point.

Author’s Note “While travelling through the headcrab kingdom, Gordon suddenly realised that he nearly lost one dimension! And while being trapped in this strange world made out of odd blocks and with really weird physical properties, Gordon needs to make his way through packs of headcrabs and reach an oddly scaled castle, which is his… Read More

You have 50% health and 50% ammo. In front of you the enemy is rushing towards you.
There is health to your left and ammo to your right but you only have enough time to collect one before you will be engaged by the said enemy.
Which do you collect; Health or Ammo?
