Post-weekend Mode Review

Ben went a little crazy last week and sent us Meta mode layouts for no less than nine games. Here is the one he created for Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth. The important thing to note is that it utilizes the directional joystick, which only requires entering the four cardinal directions. The Meta is smart enough to take those and then utilize the corners for NE, NW, SE, and SW movement. So, this mode supports eight directional movements despite there being only four directional assignments. You will probably also notice that we have changed the keypress color from red to blue. This is a relatively simple mode, which doesn’t utilize any of the showier functions or even many double-clicks, but nevertheless makes the interaction with the game’s interface much easier and more enjoyable.
