The Spike Lee thing RUINED MyPlayer, and if you look around at reviews on the net, that is the consensus. The cutscenes were PAINFULLY long. Thankfully after your rookie year it goes back to regular MyPlayer, and the addition of doing stuff on off days is really cool.

As for Gone Home, if you like those roam around exploring, looking for clue games like Ether One or Everybody's Gone To The Rapture, you'll like this one. It even has a lesbian love story in it!
