There is no doubt that in Omega, the dialogue that exists definitely added to the game experience and was not a waste of anyone’s efforts.

 Talk:Roguelike - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Blizzard assembled almost all the roguelike concepts and put them together in their action rpg game, but the result was still not a roguelike - it was an rpg that was very pure in it's historical borrowing.
Some designers weren't exposed to Rogue (perish the thought!) and adapted directly from paper games; or were exposed to the prior traditions; or were on different systems, etc. That Rogue was a big influence is clear, but it wasn't universal.
Certainly, when the early computer game pioneers sat down to make a game, they almost universally drew from pen and paper rpg games.

 Syphon Filter: The Omega Strain Sony Play Station 2 Video Game Review by AceGamez
Compared to previous instalments, Syphon Filter: The Omega Strain comes off as a very different title; it's far less casual in its approach, with some simply unmanageable objectives, a massive range of weapons and a grittier look.
All the protagonists from the previous games feature at some level or another and, in traditional style, treachery and corruption play their parts in further confusing the storyline.
There's no doubt about it, this is a tough game and one that will more than likely see you launching your joypad at the wall in frustration, as you fail the time limit for the twentieth time.

One plus for this game is the fact that you have a choice between killing enemies or trying to evade them; you don't have to dispatch them all.

 Astroboy Omega Factor Nintendo Gameboy Advance SP Video Game Review by AceGamez
When I heard some games were going to be made (most likely to help generate buzz for the feature film coming this year), I cringed slightly as I wondered if any games could really be done well or if they would just turn out to be complete rubbish.
In fact, to get the best ending for the game you'll need to go back and meet all the characters in the right order and get all their hints, giving the game a large quest feel to it that most action games lack, one of Treasure's trademarks.
The Game Boy Advance is taken to the limit with changing colour schemes, enemies that change sizes at will, great looking beam attacks, breakable items and multiple things happening on the screen at once, as well as separate background layers that scroll in parallel.

 Locus Online: Greg Benford on The Matrix
The Matrix is one way for this audience to think about a future they see more clearly than we elders do — an essential reason that science fiction has been a young, brassy culture since the 1930s.
Indeed, computers have shown us the 2D poverty of digital desserts, the postmodernist "desert of the real" (a term quoted in the films).
Computers in their flat-screen worlds help along a sensation of irreality, a liking not merely for the plausibly weird, but for the weirdly plausible.
