Home » Galleries » Features » Top 15 Best Visual Novels of All Time on PC & Steam. Visual Novels are one of the oldest genres around for gaming. As such, there’s been a ton of them. While they’ve largely kept to PC, they do sometimes dive into the console world. But there’s no denying that the best visual novels can be found on PC and – more specifically – Steam. Here they are, hand-picked by us for you. Here are the best visual novels of all time, available for you to download on PC and steam. Best Visual Novels on PC and Steam. Umineko (When They Cry) – Umineko is a visual novel in the truest sense of the term. Meaning there’s no gameplay to speak of at all; the entire ‘game’ is just a matter of clicking through copious amounts of text and watching as the story unfold. Despite the sluggish start to the first three episodes, things pick up dramatically once the creepy stuff kicks in, and Umineko stands tall as one of the most intriguing and engaging visual novel stories we’ve ever played. That soundtrack too, though. Best Visual Novels on PC and Steam. Higurashi (When They Cry) – Higurashi is a predecessor of sorts to Umineko, and while its story is just as gripping, we don’t recommend starting with this one unless you enjoyed what you saw of Umineko.

  • The Interaction Between Politics and Popular Culture at the End of Wars

    The Interaction Between Politics and Popular Culture at the End of Wars

    Conflict, Culture, Closure: The interaction between politics and popular culture at the end of wars Cahir O’Doherty A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Geography, Politics and Sociology Newcastle University August 2019 ii Abstract In this thesis I engage with the topic of how popular culture and politics interact at the end of conflict. Using contemporary Hollywood action cinema from 2000 to 2014 and political speeches from the Bush and Obama administrations, I pose the question of how do these seemingly disparate fields forge intense connections between and through each other in order to create conditions of success in the War on Terror. I utilise the end of wars assemblage to argue that through intense and affective encounters between cinema screen and audiences, certain conditions of success emerge from the assemblage. These conditions include American exceptionalism and the values it exemplifies; the use of technology in warfare as co-productive of moral subjectivities; the necessity of sacrifice; and the centrality of the urban landscape and built environment. I then proceed to assess the resilience of the end of wars assemblage and its conditions of success by engaging with cinematic and political artefacts that have the potential to destabilise the assemblage through genre inversion and alternative temporalities. Ultimately, I argue that the assemblage and its conditions of success are strongly resilient to change and critique. The conditions of success that emerge from the assemblage through intense affective encounters can then be politically deployed make a claim that a war has ended or will end. Because audiences have been pre-primed to connect these conditions to victory, such a claim has greater persuasive power.

Gry z serii można opisać trzema słowami graj, twórz i dziel się z innymi. Poza przechodzeniem rozmaitych etapów w przygotowanej przez twórców kampanii, możemy skorzystać z milionów poziomów stworzonych przez samych graczy w dołączonym do gry rozbudowanym edytorze. Mogą być one zarówno prostą platformówką czy przygodówką jak i wariacją na temat gry wyścigowej bądź RPG. LittleBigPlanet na PS Vitę nie odchodzi daleko od modelu rozgrywki ustalonego przez poprzedników, jest jednak pewną ewolucją serii, która wynika bezpośrednio z możliwości technicznych Vity nieosiągalnych dla PlayStation 3. Za produkcje tytułu nie odpowiada bezpośrednio Media Molecule, a dwóch niezależnych deweloperów, studia Double Eleven i Tarsier Studios. Podobnie jak w poprzednich odsłonach cyklu, gracze mają do wyboru kampanię dla pojedynczego gracza, zabawę na pojedynczych poziomach stworzonych przez innych użytkowników, a także edytor, dzięki któremu sami podzielimy się naszą twórczością z innymi. Podstawową nowością w serii jest nowy sposób sterowania postaciami.
