About Me
I'm into a bit of everything. At the moment I only have a PS2 and a Gamecube, but I'm hoping to get a job soon, so I can start collecting more stuff. I'm a very big Super Smash Brothers Melee player, and I've been playing the game almost at a competitive level for a year now.

I'm here just to read/try to spread the word of gaming around, I've been just recently introduced to Destructoid, so I consider myself a newbie. I do however hope to become a regular in this community.

Water Effects: A comparison
eski | 1:31 AM on 12.01.2007 8 comments


Everyone knows that for a game to look good, the water/ocean/sea/river/body of water has to look realistic. The better it looks, the more recent the game is. I came across a bunch of screenshots of water, back in the day, and now. Its really amazing how we've progressed so much over the years. Take a look for yourself.

1987: California Games


2007: Flight Sim X

The water effects in Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune are the best I’ve ever seen. Nate Drake gets wet...and eventually dries off. I was blown away.
