Re: 362: Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus
I finished Wolfenstein 2 yesterday evening, and I was relived when the credits ran. Not that its bad, it’s mostly competent old school shooter, but it had not held my attention or interest throughout my play through. I enjoyed New Order, and the subsequent follow ups immensely- they did what DOOM 20...

Re: 361: Dark Souls III
Hard to follow @MarkHoog, that’s for sure! Amazing post mate. By the time DS3 rolled around, some of us were well versed in what we would be getting ourselves in for. There’s an irony that the DS universe, one of birth, decay and rebirth, was being aped and copied quite liberally by the time of the ...

Re: 385: Prey (2017)
Take a drink every time someone mentions a game with “shock” in the title… you won’t make it past the 1-hour mark! Wearing its influences not only on its sleeve, but positively tattooed on its wrist, Prey 2017 was several things all at once. It was: Brilliant, awful, scary, hilarious, original, deri...

Re: 360: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
With BOTW I don’t fall in the “masterpiece” camp, or the “overrated” camp. Complete with sore backside I sit on the fence with this game- its great, but not a masterpiece. Some elements will appeal to some people far more than others, and I think Nintendo’s willingness to take a punt on a divisive a...

Re: 369: Disney's Aladdin
For some reason only known to my 90’s child brain, I bought Aladdin on the Game Gear first. It was the first games machine I ever owned, and the portable, colour Sega machine was the ultimate gaming machine in my youthful eyes. It was the magic carpet level that drew me towards Aladdin- the adverts ...

Re: Our next podcast recording (15.12.18) - 350: Final Fantasy VII
There are far more valid options than mine on Final Fantasy 7, I love it too, it’s not perfect, it changed the scenery of gaming forever, but more learned commentators will be in a better place than I am to dissect these details. Rather I would like to share a more left field thought on FF7’s enduri...

Re: 349: Resident Evil 7: Biohazard (Biohazard 7: Resident Evil)
Like only the toughest of badasses, my dear mother bought me Resident Evil 7 for a Christmas Present. By this point the game had been out for a while and had been heralded as a return to form- I couldn’t wait to finally play it. I wasn’t disappointed- within the first 30 minutes I was actively bello...

Re: Our next Resident Evil podcast recording (16.11.18) - 346: Resident Evil 6 (Biohazard 6)
Too many cooks. Or a variation on the idea at least- Too many ideas, too many characters, too many competitors, too many glitches, too many people to please, but most of all too many cooks. Resident Evil 6 represents the peak of the AAA game development's mountain of errors. A commercial failure of ...

Re: Our next podcast recording (27.10.18) - 343: Horizon Zero Dawn
My first few hours with Horizon Zero Dawn were like a co-sine wave. At points I was bowled over with the imagination and whimsy but was swiftly followed by frustration and irritation at the tricky combat and stealth. However, after this initial “wobble” I was left with a vast and beautiful open worl...
