About Me
My real name is Mark. But my name is also Mooks. It's short for Mookie. I want to be a writer, a director, a musician, a game designer, an actor, and a constantly awesome person. Most days I forget I'm a senior in college.

I have been gaming since I was a newborn, when my uncle put an unplugged NES controller in my hands. In some ways, I've never let go. From there I took the Nintendo/PC path down gaming lane. I had a Genesis, but the only games I had were Sonic games. My favorite game growing up was Earthbound.

I am obsessed with story in video games and am always looking for the next game that makes me laugh, cry, or think. Although I also love a good mindless shooter or puzzle game here and there.
On the topic of best stories in games, I believe these titles, in no particular order, showcase what I believe to be indicative of our medium moving forward as respectable artworks.

Mother (1 2 and 3)
Metal Gear Solid (particularly 2 and 3)
Anything touched by Tim Schafer
Killer7
Ico
Shadow of the Colossus
Silent Hill
Eternal Darkness
Half-Life series

More to come as I think of them.

But yeah, that's it for now. See ya around D-Toid.

What ICO and Shadow of the Colossus Might Look Like in HD
Mooks | 1:15 AM on 06.02.2010 9 comments




I must stress that part. Might. There has been no announcement to the fact that Sony is making an HD re-packaging of ICO and SotC ala God of War 1 and 2. But there certainly has been some murmurings to that effect.

Anyway, some crafty, brilliant people out there have engineered a good look at what an HD version of these beautiful games might look like in splendid video format.

They can be found here.

What do you guys think? If it looks anything like it does in these mock-up videos, they can guarantee that they will get my money on that day.

I really hope they're going to make a Ico/SoTC HD pack someday. That shit would be amazing!

I haven't played either one of the games, but I'm holding out for an HD PS3 compilation before I hunt the PS2 versions down.

Needs to happen, IMO. I would actually preorder this HD set.

Eh...I kind of liked the blur effect in Ico. It nailed that summery vibe well.

Shadow could do with an improved framerate and less of the blur though. It's a shame a lot of the colossi's details were lost in that weird double image haze.
