Hi Tom.
I'd be very glad to put together a promo if you'd like certainly.
Bare in mind that the purpose of that podcast was essentially to display the
general possibilities of what more complex and interesting things were
possible in audio games to people who do not themselves play audio games,
not actually to review games with the intention of having people buy them.
It was the third in a series on gaming with a visual imparement (the first
two done by Barry ellis are very much worth checking out). The first two
generally focused on the inaccessibility of console games, so Barry asked me
for a look at three games which showed the possibilities of what interesting
and complex things could be done in an audio game.
hence my choice. Entombed, a complex rpg, time of conflict, a complex war
stratogy game with unique map overview, and Mota, an action adventure game
with puzle elements, multiple weapons and considderable audio plot and
ambience.
Pluss, all these titles are recent, and thus show what is going on in audio
games now!
As I said, rail racer and sound rts were deffinately other games I
considdered as well.
So, the purpose wasn't really to review the games for people to go out and
buy them but to say "hay look! audio games can be engaging too!"
Beware the grue!
Dark.

Hi Dark,
That's a good point. It might have been nicer to have given the
listeners a little better discussion of game controls, supported game
controllers, etc in the game reviews you did the other day, but as you
said on the podcast you were in something of a time crunch.
As it happens though I really like your style of doing game reviews.
If you don't mind once I finish up a few things in Mysteries of the
Ancients, look like I'm nearing a 1.0 release, I'd like you or
someone else to do a promo for the game I can put on my web site. Not
a trailer exactly, but an end users review of the game, and showing
off the game to other potential customers.
Smile.
