Regarding Endgame's blog, I have two descriptors: "staggering" & "evocative". Read from that what you will.
I don't agree much with Endgame's blog, though, and I didn't care for his article. I don't mean anything personal by this, just that for me, his piece fell flat. I think he was trying to connect with the game on an emotional level on his own terms, but for that tactic to succeed in a blog assumes that the readers share the same emotional responses, and I, for one, don't.
It was said before, and I think it bears repeating: let's stick the to the basics and get them right, first.
