> At 4:30 in the GAMBIT Lounge we kick of this Fall's Friday Games series with a
> RANT about Deadly Premonition. For those who don't know, this game has been one
> of the most controversial of the 2010. Players, critics, and bloggers can't seem
> to decide whether its good, bad, or so bad its good.
> 
> Most gamers who like it fall into the "so bad it's good" camp, but I actually
> find it to be mostly "good" in a completely unironic way. I will be explaining
> why in my rant, and why this "so bad it's good" trend often fails to capture
> what is special about certain games.
> 
> We will also being playing:
> 
> - Alan Wake
> - Puzzle Agent
> 
> Recent games that, like Deadly Premonition, are also inspired by the television
> series Twin Peaks. Prepare for the surreal.
