Would I recommend Killer Frequency? Yep… even if you aren't really a horror fan (like me)… this isn't really the adrenaline pumping stuff… it's far more the "horror comedy" style and those semi cartoon style visuals do help take some of the edge off the tension. It's not a bad price but replay value isn't super high (unless you want to mess with the callers and find out what their fate is like if you choose different options). A fun game with an interesting style, grab it if you like your puzzle solving with some retro radio vibes.
Is it worth the purchase? Well if you don't have any Sonic games and either want to see what it's all about, or relive past glories… then certainly grab a copy. If you bought last years Sonic Origins then just have a look at what the differences are and determine if Plus really adds enough for you to fork out for it. But it's nice to be able to share some of my childhood with my children in a pretty decent modern remastered collection such as this.
Ultimately I do give credit for the restoration and remastering efforts… but unfortunately though you can polish a turd… at the end of the day, it's still a turd and bad acting, bad writing and pretty awful staging means this is really only a title for people who can find the humour in things that are really terrible… I'm just not one of those people.
Take on various enemies as a daring swashbuckling hero. Or at least claim to do so?
Improve your fitness while having fun? It might just be possible with Fitness Circuit.
An ambitious train management sim that looses steam in some areas.
If you are a fan of the previous games then absolutely grab a copy. If you haven't played a Diablo game before but like the idea of hack and slash with a healthy (or perhaps unhealthy) dose of loot clicking then grab a copy… basically… just grab a copy!!! Lot's of fun and a great example of how to bring an old game back to life like a necromancer summoning a Lich.
So after all that… is it worth it? Well it is a decent price and no doubt will go on special from time to time. If you were hoping for more of the first games dynamics and fun… you may well be disappointed here, but if you simply want to know a bit more about some of the characters from before the events in Road 96… then it could be worth grabbing a copy. At the very least I'd suggest waiting for a sale because even at the low price… there are just too many elements of the game that are disappointing. A halfhearted recommendation at best I'm afraid.
If you have some younger gamers who want a bit of a puzzle game with a magical touch then this could be a good choice, especially if you don't mind playing the game with them.
Overall though I continue to find the Shadow Warrior games a lot of fun… it's nice to have a different main character to the muscle bound blond balls of brawn we are usually provided. Lo Wang is the hero we don't deserve… but he's all we've got… and it's a lot of fun playing as him.
I'm really enjoying Crime Boss Rockay City and highly recommend it! If you have a soft spot for the cast then that's a good draw card… but if you have a big ol' spot of nostalgia for music of the 90's… it will be hard to suppress the smile as you enter a shopping mall only to hear Freestyler playing. If you want a great heist game that involves a bit more thinking and planning than GTA or even Payday… grab a copy!
Relive the arcade days without the constant loss of coins.
The ever evolving Pinball FX is back with the third iteration and lots of fun!
If you are looking for a bit of RPG detective action (and perhaps either speak Bavarian or don't mind a bit of rough sounding audio) then this might be worth looking at. If you like a bit more polish on your games though… perhaps give it a miss.
Return to Dream Land or spend your time playing minigames... either way Kirby and pals are your ticket to fun!
A game that gives you what it says it will on the label. Powerwash simulator let's you fulfill your cleaning fantasies... if you have them.
Design your room or indeed whole home in VR and then decorate it and dream of what you might be able to have in real life... if you win the lottery.
A fantastic(al) VR puzzle game that feels a bit like being part of a more mature pantomime or a Cirque Du Soleil performance.
With one of the most natural fits for VR, Marvel's Ironman is more fun than Jarvis would approve of.
I think as long as you know what to expect going in… this could well be a fantastic game. If you like fiddling over the minutia of your empire then you will probably love this game. If like me you'd prefer a bit less worrying about the small stuff to your rule… perhaps give it a miss.
