The Tragedy of David Cage

So I took a week and a half off. Had some personal stuff going on and things weren't exactly easy but I'm back and ready to recommit to this blog.

Interaction throughout the games he makes is minimized to timed button presses, light adventure game mechanics (not puzzles mechanics), and dialogue options, and he tells his stories using the same tools cinema uses: dialogue, cinematography, music, action etc...
