As far as claims go, yes, I’m being bold and melodramatic. But then, so was Techland’s original Dead Island trailer, which I think set expectations for the co-op zombie shooter to unreachable levels and ultimately came back to haunt it. This time though, the situation is different. No zombies, dead kids or shattered families. Just ATVs. And funny. And trees.
Apparently this Metro: Last Light video appeared for a brief time on GameTrailers, but was quickly taken down. I’m not sure why it was removed, but whatever the reason it did little to stop one enterprising user from grabbing the clip and uploading it to YouTube. Inside we find almost four minutes for gameplay footage, along with a surprisingly solid interview with the developers.
If you’re not up to speed on what Bethesda’s Dishonored is all about, two things should fill you in nicely. One is Stephen Totilo’s “18 Things You Should Know About Dishonored”. And the other is that image at right, of a guy leaping off a rooftop and stabbing a dude in the neck.
Max Payne 3 does a lot of things right — from the relentless, blood-soaked gunplay to HEALTH’s astonishing soundtrack.
Scoopon currently has Logitech’s G27 running as one of its deals, offering the $499 RRP steering wheel and pedal combo for $214.95 delivered. It works out to be 57 per cent off, though in reality it’s more of a 15 per cent discount.
The original Planetside was perhaps a little ahead of its time. A massively multiplayer FPS in a time when broadband was still finding its feet. Even so, it was magnificent by way of its ambition alone and as lag-stricken as it was (at least, for Australian players), I still remember it fondly — nothing quite beats carrying a pair of rocklet rifles and blowing the crap out of heavily-armed MAX.
I love my desktop PC. I’m a PC gamer through and through and my current computer, which is the machine I also use every day for work, is one I built for myself in 2010. I dust it out regularly, am careful with my file management, and have mastered the art of putting the mouse away at night so the cat can’t chew through its wire again.
In your basement, cuddled up next to your cat, on a mountain and now on a tablet.
