If Iron Chef and Russ Meyer collaborated... this may well be the result (but with a bit more humour).
If you liked the first Dishonored then I have no doubt this will feel both familiar and also an even more expansive world with some nice new twists to make for an even more satisfying gaming experience. If you’ve never played the original then you can still jump straight in and get your Steampunk action on. Great conspiratorial story telling with some fun game mechanics make this a worthy game for your collection… plus there are plenty of reasons to return to Dunwall after your first play through… try a different main character or try a different approach to the many challenges that await.
Farm animals, food crops and even get in a bit of forestry. Easy to get into, friendly to play and a nice distraction.
Gotham's underworld looms even larger over Batman. Bruce Wayne has become a public outcast, Harvey Dent is gearing up for his run as Mayor... things are looking bleak.
As a fan of the 40K universe there is quite a lot to like here… it does look authentic and you can see what the intention is… but as many have said, this is under-cooked. The desire is there but it could be a few patches before it really presents something worthy of donning the oversized armour and declaring your efforts for the Emperor.
Overall it's a lot of fun… sure it's immature humour but it's done with tongue in cheek (apply snicker here)… it also doesn't seem to have as much hate in it as Duke Nukem Forever did. High Score… would play with my Wang again!
Overall I was very happy with the experience (well that’s a relative term as their are some dark elements to the story). It’s impressive to see what Indie teams can achieve and the best part is we get games that just wouldn’t be made if the field was only open to the big production houses that have to “play it safe”.
Virginia shows what can happen when people with a passion for games, story telling and perhaps a touch of avant garde get together and let their collective subconscious flow. It is not too out of place to say this is an art house game… perhaps the more populist thing to call it would be an intellectual game… the important thing to know is that it has the capacity to make you think and feel and any game that can do that is certainly a worthy title to add to your collection. Virginia helps solidify the notion that games can be art!
We continue where we last left our caped crusader... Falcone in custody and a question about Bruce's parents... but what next?
Whether a seasoned pro or a first time player, Madden will guide you in the right direction to fun.
If Benny Hill was adapted to a computer game... this would pretty much be it.
Professional Farmer 2017 may cut too close to the bone... though I suspect actual farmers may say their reality is more fun.
Choose your own adventure meets D & D without the ability to keep your finger in the choice page to find out if you want to take back your move.
What's more dangerous than a worm? A worm in an armoured mech!
Damn you Telltale games... now I have to wait for episode 2 before I can don the cape and cowl again...
Good for an adventure gaming fix… and if you like a touch of horror thrown in… well you’d be hard pressed to find a better blending of the two.
Build your own Timezone, or Tons of Fun.
It's not hard to see why this won a number of BAFTA awards… it is one of those examples that comes about from time to time of gaming being art. A true visual novel that draws you in and leaves you wanting more. Fantastic voice acting and musical score really just provide icing on the cake here. Very worthwhile!
If you want a fun party game this is a great choice… you have the "brand" of the Olympics plus the characters you know (and at least some you probably love). The controls aren't overly taxing which can be a negative if you like a challenge… but are great for when you just want to enjoy the game, especially with friends.
American Truck Simulator Arizona DLC is country driving at its best!
