	ToME - Gameinfo - a Wikia wiki
		ToME is a very long game that requires you to explore multiple dungeons before you can become strong enough to reach Morgoth's stronghold, the fortress called Angband, and attempt the final battle.
		ToME is so complex that you might want to try vanilla Angband or another Angband variant first.
		ToME 2.3.3 marks the Alchemist as "experimental"; there seem to be some gameplay problems with that class.

	Game Over Online Magazine - Siege of Avalon
		As the game opens, you find yourself as a new recruit in the castle of Avalon, where the humans are making their final stand against the Sha'ahoul.
		Usually, if a role-playing game has much of a plot at all, it has you seeking out enemies and essentially laying siege to them, so the role reversal here is a nice change of pace.
		Now, if you're going to emulate a couple games, then Diablo and Baldur's Gate are good choices, and Digital Tome was able to take the simple, action-oriented parts of Diablo and combine them with the depth and storytelling of Baldur's Gate.

	ToME (computer game) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		ToME, or Tales (or Troubles) of Middle Earth, is a roguelike computer game created in 1998 by someone who identifies himself only as DarkGod.
		ToME is an Angband variant, originally based on the ZAngband 2.2.9a source code, which now differs greatly from it.
		The game was originally known as PernAngband, and was essentially a crossover that placed characters from Anne McCaffrey's fictional world of Pern into J.R.R. Tolkien's fictional world of Arda.

	Roguelike (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The roguelikes are usually superficially 2D computer graphicstwo-dimensional dungeon crawling computer games, most with simple text or ASCII "graphics" and many with "tiles" which replace the rather limited character set with a wider array.
		A game will usually provide a "save game" feature, but this is only intended to allow splitting a game across multiple sessions, and the save file will be deleted automatically when the character dies.
		The game may provide a "wizard mode" which allows exploring the dungeon without risk of death, but again it is not possible to win honourably using such a mechanism.

	Game Studies - A Meaningful Read: Rules of Play reviewed
		Discussions of games vary from analyses of the “cultural rhetoric” particular games suggest (for example, The Landlord’s Game, a progenitor of Monopoly), to discussions about chance and probability of dice and onwards to examinations of archetypal digital games, such as Breakout and Tetris.
		It refers to actions and outcomes within a magic circle that add to the emotional and psychological experience of playing the game: when the actions that the game system affords the player seem enticing and make sense in pursuing the goal(s) of the game, the first threshold of meaningful play is crossed.
		Therefore, it is recommended reading for both students of game theory and game designers who are willing to expand their thinking “outside the box,” and to understand games as “trans-medial” entities, a term Jesper Juul has used to describe games’ tendency to shift between different media and technologies.

		Doctoral Thesis: Story Games and the OPIATE System [06.28.05] This thesis presents a new approach to creating game mechanics, utilizing a number of key concepts that result in an interaction scheme that engages a player with a story, while allowing the player the freedom to interact with and alter that story as it happens.
		Through an analysis of the various points-of-view within different games and the differing points-of-view within a single game, she attempts to delineate the differences both in the creation of the experiential game space and in the possibilities for immersion within the game space.
		The research has shown that when computational systems are given the ability to recognise both the novelty and the usefulness of their products they gain a level of autonomy that opens up new possibilities for the study of creative behavior in single agents and the emergence of social creativity in multi-agent systems.

		In addition, the in-game customization and setup was very convenient; whenever I thought, "I wish I could change that..." I usually could, thanks to the in-game help.
		Since this is something that has been very lacking in games as of late, I think it is important to let game companies know that we still want a manual.

	Game Review: Hexen II (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The graphics worlds of PC games had developed far beyond the days of Doom and SSI's ADandD adventures, which were what I used to play.
		Throughout the game, as your character gains experience by slaying monsters, he or she rises in level and gains new abilities, depending on class.
		These add a little variety to the game, but basically when you learn to deal with a type of monster you know how to deal with all types of that monster.

		The game's central character, Alex Roivus, is the last ancestor and presumably the glue that binds the events together.
		Throughout the game, players will assume the role of a dozen characters, all with their own strengths, weaknesses and fighting abilities, which seems strange outside looking in, but once you get into ED, it all starts to make sense....until you lose your mind, that is.
		The game looks very nice, it's just that the later stages in the game are so detailed that they make the first stages seem a little basic.

		While his opinions may or may not have any particular relevance to how a computer should play the game of poker, it is nevertheless important to determine, in theoretical terms, why a particular approach is highly successful against human opponents, while another is less suitable.
		Game theoretic studies generally have not considered situations where there is to be a draw of cards followed by another betting round.
		Another general concept is the computation of the ``escape probability'', which determines the odds necessary to call with a weak hand in the hope of winning one half of the pot.

		Figuring out the menu system is something best pursued once the game is working, when the designer knows what sort of options might be important and what different gameplay choices players will have; it is certainly far from the most difficult part of game design, nor the most important system to nail down first.

		A lot of games make storytelling one of their central concerns, and a story bible can be quite useful to game creation.

		Of course, the game technology has to provide the functionality to play the music at a reasonably good quality level to hear it how it was recorded and mixed, but most platforms allow this these days.
		There will always be games where one composer does the whole thing though, especially if the game is small enough to warrant it or the composer in charge who wants to retain artistic direction on the project.
		There are a lot of great game composers out there who deserve to see their efforts released on CD and more and more fans are demanding these soundtrack albums so I think it could take off in a big way.

	Scooby-Doo! Mystery Mayhem Nintendo Gamecube Video Game Review by AceGamez
		From the game's opening titles, which are an excellent reproduction of the cartoon title along with the fondly remembered theme tune, it is evident that the presentation in Mystery Mayhem has been a labor of love for the development team at A2M.
		Progress through the game's 5 main levels is recorded by standing in front of cameras scattered throughout the levels, which capture souvenir images of Scooby and Shaggy during happier times.
		While on the subject of cameras, one main problem with the game (and a problem that is so prevalent in today's 3D game worlds) is the accessibility of the game camera.

	Decline of Guides
		Our game manuals were on the thin side, (though not lacking in any essential information), so we really tried to cram as much information as possible into the strategy guide...
		I kept trying to explain that, as the game was still being debugged and fine-tuned (practically up to the last minute before release to production), there was no point in rushing things until the game was really done.
		Now, since the games were based on a licensed property, it is the owner of the license who is the ultimate arbiter of who gets to do derivative products.

	The 2006 Gamer's Tome \| Gamers With Jobs
		The Gamer’s Tome works vaguely by splitting sections into months instead of chapters and revisiting the highlights of that month, for example E3 is discussed in the May segment, and the bulk of 360 games in the Holiday segment.
		The Tome is ultimately a collection of short essays on a variety of gaming topics trying as best it can to find a suitable structure, and to get too caught up in the seeming randomness of that structure is to lose sight of the forest through the trees.
		The Gamer’s Tome may be described as a niche product, but it is written by someone deeply connected to that niche, and like minded gamers will be missing out by not picking it up.
