Bulletstorm, one of 2011′s more surprising critical successes, wasn’t as big a hit at the register, with Epic Games boss Mike Capps telling GameSpot that “From a sales perspective it was good, but not amazing. I think EA was hoping we’d do better.”
A couple weeks back I ran an enjoyable feature on Duncan Harris, the video game photographer behind the website DeadEndThrills. Harris takes some of the most evocative, beautiful video game screenshots I’ve ever seen, and we’ve been sharing some of his work each week here.
I’ve yet to see convincing evidence that a first-person shooter (or indeed, any kind of non puppet-based shooter) could work on the Xbox 360′s Kinect motion controller. That said, if I had to pick an FPS that would work well with the hardware, it would probably be People Can Fly’s highly physical Bulletstorm.
Kill your enemy. Chainsaw a dude in half. Unlock stuff. Level up.
The space-pirate tale Bulletstorm also brought a soundtrack suited to its popcorn-flick tone and motifs. The game’s full 24 tracks are now available for you to grab, 100 per cent free, with 0 per cent cussing from Grayson, Trishka or Sarrano, courtesy of Epic Games. the file is a 130MB .zip and the audio is .mp3.
