Game Club: Beyond Good & Evil The Final Assignment

Here it is, the final assignment for Game Club: Beyond Good & Evil. Please count on having this done by Thursday, July 31 for our next meeting. We'll be meeting at 7:30 p.m. Mountain Time.

In this final assignment for Beyond Good & Evil you'll need to complete the game. After finishing up the game, try to think up some interesting questions and discussion topics. I will have a list of my own, but I'm hoping we can all ask each other interesting things to discuss.

The game is available for the Xbox (not backwards compatible) PS2, Gamecube and the PC via Steam and Gametap.

Remember we'll be meeting on Thursday at 7:30 p.m. Mountain. Just come to the site and look for the Game Club Beyond Good & Evil Discussion post. Again sorry for the delay in putting this out to you all.

Last Minute Game Club Time Change

We're still on for Game Club: Beyond Good & Evil, but I'm going to have to shift it to a bit later. We'll be meeting tonight at 8:30 p.m. Mountain time. Good news for some time zoners, bad for others. Sorry, still struggling under the weight of unreported E3 news.

Assignment Two

Game Club Beyond Good & Evil: Assignment Two

Sorry for the delay on our second assignment for the Beyond Good & Evil Game Club.
E3 was overwhelming and knocked my plans a bit off-kilter for the week. BUT, I've got your second assignment right here and we're going to go ahead and meet on Tuesday rather than Monday. Yes this will call for a little late night, last minute cramming, but isn't that what clubs are all about anyway?

In this second assignment for Beyond Good & Evil you'll need to complete the Slaughterhouse section of the game. Make sure you don't play past that point because I'd like us all to be on the same page, so to speak. After playing through the chunk, try to think up some interesting questions and discussion topics. I will have a list of my own, but I'm hoping we can all ask each other interesting things to discuss.

The game is available for the Xbox (not backwards compatible) PS2, Gamecube and the PC via Steam and Gametap.

We'll be meeting on Tuesday at 9:30 p.m. Eastern. Just come to the site and look for the Game Club Beyond Good & Evil Discussion post. Again sorry for the delay in putting this out to you all.

Game Club Beyond Good & Evil: Discussion One

OK boys and girls time to kick off the first Game Club discussion about Beyond Good & Evil. Hit the jump to join the chat which will be hosted on CoveritLive. As was the case with original Game Club, you'll need to take turns commenting or asking questions. I will be moderating all comments on the chat program. Please keep your comments on topic only. I'll also leave comments live on Kotaku for those of you who want to talk more generally about the game.

Keep in mind we are only talking about what's taken place through the end of the Black Isle Mines section of the game.

The First Assignment

Game Club Beyond Good & Evil: The First Assignment

Alright, as promised today we're kicking off the rejuvenated Game Club with a group play through of fan favorite of Beyond Good & Evil. If you're interested in playing through a game along side a group of friends and then discussing the deeper meaning of the game and its plot, don't forget to hop in.

We will be meeting weekly, on Monday's at 9:30 p.m. Eastern, though this month with the holiday and E3, is going to have an odd schedule. I'm pretty sure it will be easy to get through the game in four meetings. So let's plan on our first meeting to start on July 7 at 9:30 p.m. Eastern. Just come to the site and look for the Game Club Beyond Good & Evil Discussion post.

Return of the Game Club

It's been more than a year since I first floated the idea for an Oprah-esque Game Club to quite a lot of support. Heck, I've even had people email me about forming local Game Club chapters for physical meet-ups, including one developer. Since that time we had a beta of sorts and played Mr. Robot together. And then things got quiet... too quiet.

Have no fear though, I didn't forget you Game Clubbers, in fact I was working behind the scenes to line up some changes to the club to make it a bit easier for more people to participate and to bring in someone who can help kick off what I hope will become each month's new game. (More to come on that soon, I hope)

Today I can announce that we will be bringing Game Club back starting July 1. Our first title? To kick things off on the right foot we're going with Kotaku pick Beyond Good & Evil.

Now don't jump the gun and start playing it now, if you haven't already. The whole idea of Game Club is for it to be a shared experience. Expect more details coming out over the next couple of weeks as I finalize everything, but until then here are the Game Club's rules.
