Comp Stomp as a genre?
I finished the single player for the new C&C3 Expansion 'Kanes Wrath' the other day, and I still play skirmishes every now and then. I started thinking about WHY I still play it, and I have a few points I think are valid. It kind of lends weight to my arguement for hack'n'slash as a genre, even if C&C wouldn't fit under that name. I don't know what to revise it's name to though, possibly something like "Comp Stomp".
Another emerging genre! Sneak 'n' Stab
Earlier this week I wrote about Hack n Slash games and why I think they should be a genre. Recent games like Dynasty Warriors (what are they up to now, about 10? 20?), Diablo 2 and 99 Nights all fit easily into this 'genre'.
Hack 'N' Slash as a new Gaming Genre
In a tute at uni recently we discussed game genres and the motivations of play that usually drive them, and player types that are usually found playing them. E.g. adventure games like the old Kings Quest series would be made for 'Explorers', or Counter Strike was made for 'Killers'.
