Six Reasons Sim City Failed

As most of you probably know by now, Sim City’s launch hasn’t exactly gone smoothly. To be honest, it’s been a downright disaster, even worse than Diablo III’s infamous “Error 37” fiasco. Though I’m certain the game might eventually find redemption somewhere down the road, for the time being it’s a complete botch job. A lot of people are trying to figure out what went wrong – and most of them are pointing to a single factor (the shoddy DRM EA saddled the title with). In truth, it’s actually a touch more complicated than that.

Linearity vs. Openness in Games

I’ve been playing a lot of Dark Souls lately, and it’s gotten me thinking about game design. More specifically, it’s gotten me musing about the linearity that’s been cropping up so frequently in modern titles, and the question of openness. How open is too open? How much control should the developer exert over the player? When does a game cross the line and become too linear, too rigid?
