Roger Ebert's not too popular around these internets at the moment. Doesn't matter today. Regardless of his, or your, views on art and games, here's something interesting: Roger Ebert's first, and presumably only, games review. For the September 1994 issue of Wired, he sat down and reviewed Softedge's Cosmology of Kyoto, a trippy, semi-educational point-n-clicker that turned up on the PC and Mac. And is really quite good! The review, that is. Never played the game.
The richness is almost overwhelming; there is the sense that the resources of this game are limitless and that no two players would have the same experience. I have been exploring the ancient city in spare moments for two weeks now, and doubt that I have even begun to scratch the surface. This is the most beguiling computer game I have encountered, a seamless blend of information, adventure, humor, and imagination - the gruesome side-by-side with the divine.You can read the whole thing over at Wired if your fancy is suitably tickled.
