Gamasutra's regular 'Question of the Week' feature touches, this week, on the ideal length of games, and the importance of game length. While the overwhelming opinion was 'quality is better than quantity', there were a range of opinions along that scale. From the article: "I would say as a gamer on the more casual side (30+ years) the game length is fine around 20-25 hours. If you are having fun while playing. I never have time to finish anything longer. It makes me more satisfied to have played through the game in 20-25 game hours than never even reach half way. - Joachim Carlsson, Massive Entertainment" . WORCESTER — The Western-Central Massachusetts Division 2 Super Bowl game started pretty well for Berkshire County champion Mount Greylock. But things slid downhill quickly. The Mounties won the toss, the only thing they won all day, and deferred taking the ball until the second half. Central Mass. champion Holy Name took the kickoff and needed only four offensive plays to get on the board. Emil Igwenagu scored the first of his four touchdowns on a 41-yard scamper through the Greylock defense, as the defending Super Bowl champions finished with a perfect 12-0 record and cruised to an impressive 36-8 win over the Mounties yesterday at Coughlin Stadium on the Worcester State College campus. "It was big for the team and big for me," said Igwenagu, of his touchdown on the fourth play of the game. Feature: 16 Reasons Why We Love Total War Over the last six years, the Total War series has blown strategy/war gamers away with a unique blend of highly tactical real-time battles and deep economic/political strategy elements. The series was the first tactical war game to allow the player to control very large 3D-based armies without serious performance issues (well, assuming you had a decent PC). This was such a feat that the History Channel's Decisive Battles TV show used the Total War engine to recreate famous battles in history. The three games in the series - Shogun: Total War, Medieval: Total War, and Rome: Total War have all received excellent review marks. In a few weeks, Sega will be releasing Medieval 2: Total War. In honor of the game's stupendous run, we decided to highlight some great moments from the series' history. Paris finalists fear falling at the first hurdle When the Champions League bunting was being removed from the Stade de France last May and Barcelona danced off into the night with the glittering prize while Arsenal reflected on how close they had come, the last thing on anybody's mind was the idea that next season both teams might flop. Even before leaving Paris, Barcelona were already planning on doing it all again and again. Arsenal consoled themselves with declarations of their desire to get straight back to the final and go that crucial step further.
