Re: Policenauts

I just listened to this episode today. At one point the team discusses the game listing the actor when the character appears on screen and there was an interesting discussion about how this feels cinematic even though it does not occur in cinema. In Japan, this is the norm in "taiga dramas", big ...

Re: 646: Star Wars: Rogue Squadron series

I had a lot of fun with the original on N64. I had grown up playing Wing Commander and, later on, X-Wing and Tie Fighter on PC, always looked on with distain by my father who loved Star Trek and had no time for Star Wars. I borrowed Rogue Squadron repeatedly from another guy at school who never ...

Although I generally like most things Marvel since I was a kid reading the comics, this game had my cynical side rolling my eyes out of my head based on the previews . It looked like everything I didnt want - four player co-op, overly chatty, laser blasty nonsense, right? So as the comments from a ...
