Starcraft, Subnautica & Evil Genius 2: Video Games for Their Own Sake - GUI 88

This week Mike & Alex return to the most basic element of a game - it's [self-justifying or autotelic] world, hopefully expressed in a gameplay loop that facilitates instead of inhibiting its clarity. Last week Subnautica was a refreshing escape from the overbearing psychological motivations we are required to empathize with in many third-person story games; this week, the single-player campaign of Stacraft the first does the same. Also featuring a discussion of the special merits of the survivial genre & our enthisuaism for Evil Genius II.
