One possibility is each time a new element is discovered, go back and mechanically try to combine it with all previously discovered elements.

After spending over a decade in development, Duke Nukem Forever has finally been released to a public eager to see the return of one of gaming’s greatest heroes. Hardcore Duke Nukem fans will likely enjoy the game’s crude sense of humor, as their hero tosses back beers, visits the strip club, and delivers enough one-liners to make Bruce Campbell proud.

In Mafia II, you play as protagonist Vito Scaletta, an Italian immigrant whose parents brought him to the United States in the hopes of building a better life. The opening cinematic follows him as a child leaving the old country, to causing trouble as a teen, before planting you back in Italy, this time as an American G.I. fighting Mussolini’s soldiers in the streets.

Like most men in today’s society, I’ve spent hours planning the perfect zombie escape plan. If this sounds like something you’ve done before, then pick up the computer you’re reading this on, throw it out the window and go buy Dead Rising 2.

Since then, Mario has been featured in scores of games across over a dozen different platforms and has become not only iconic of the Nintendo brand, but arguably the most recognizable face of the hobby itself.

The original Portal was a complete surprise to the gaming market when it was released in 2007. Presented in a manner similar to developer Valve’s Half-Life series, Portal was a genre-bending first-person experience that was lauded for its creativity and originality.

Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective is kind of like the movie Ghost. Except you’re not Patrick Swayze. And you don’t have Whoopi Goldberg as your psychic sidekick. Oh, and there’s no sexually-charged pottery scene.
