Beyond good and evil is, as far as I can tell, a quirky little nihilistic book from a rather famous philosopher sporting a moustache. Quite unexpectedly it also is a beautiful, refreshing and optimistic video game.
To help you get an idea, here's a trailer (of the game; of course):
In reality it does look far superior than this, but that's not what I wanted to ... er ... blog about. The real interesting thing is that, I, being the lucky sod I am, discovered a hidden-secret-easter eggish website. Hillyan News. It's brilliant, Beyond Good and Evil related and very-very interesting, even for the masses who have never heard of the game. It is as brilliant as Lucasarts hidden ftp stash or as the whack-your-boss flash thingy was.

The reviews were outstanding for this game, can't for the life of me remember why I passed it over....oh well after oblivion and ......(opens yet to be played tome)
ReplyDeleteWithout wanting to mess with your tome, let me ask you -nay, implore you- to at least try it (out of the tome's order). It's a very rare masterpiece, that can be picked up for less than 10e.
ReplyDeleteokay then i'll try it! good and evil will be part of my library, nay in my ps2 this friday night. Oblivion will be banned for the weekend.

Hope it lives up to your expectations Mr. Elderly... And as the great Mr. Addams used to preach: Don't Panic!
ReplyDeleteRather old news, this Hillyan one. The problem of this game is that it's secrets are revealed too soon. Still enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteAnd also, why didn't you mention the site of the rebels, www.irisnetwork.net ?
There were many reasons for not including Iris' network... The main one wasn't that I din't know it existed. Thanks, Chentzilla.
