| Lately, I've seen a trend by independent game designers to label their games as "A game about xxx." Call it a pet peeve, but this really annoys me. Technically it's no different from saying "the xxxx game of xxxxx," but there's just something that sets me off about it. I'm not quite sure what it is, but it's like running nails across a chalkboard. Pitfalls, the game of falling into obvious traps. It's some subconscious irritation -- I'm not setting out to hate games like this. Really, I'm not. I just do. |
