Backlog Quest is a month long special event on Clearance Bin Review featuring daily game reviews of the games that have sat on the shelf for simply too long; old and new.
From Day 13 – Lord of the Rings: War in the North, Tristan Rendo writes,"I had heard some not-so-good things about Lord of the Rings: War in the North when it first launched, but a few updates later and I really can’t see what all the complaints where about. The game is a bit short and linear for an RPG, but the all important question of whether or not it is fun is easy to answer; yes."
YouTube’s ‘John GodGames Emus’ and ‘Emulators for PC’ have shared some new videos, showing GUN, Bodycount, The Lord of the Rings: War in the North, Wanted: Weapons of Fate and more running on the latest version of the best Xbox 360 emulator, Xenia.
by Caspar Leblanc:
"When you first started playing Spec Ops: The Line , you might feel that it’s just another brainless third person shooter, and some parts are kind of boring, that’s what I thought as well, but I was really into shooter games so I finished it and I was totally impressed by its story, don’t worry not spoilers, If you want to know why this game is on the list, and you are interested in good stories, go play it and pay attention to the plot, you will agree my opinion afterwards."
The Saboteur was great, nice art style and such a good soundtrack. Hunted was cool but very flawed.
Alice the Madness Returns is still really cool for those who like the premise. The original Dead Space holds up well. Catherine has aged incredibly well. The Suda 51 games are all still great if you can dig quirkiness (Shadows of the damned, Lollipop Chainsaw, Killer is dead). There are lots more, many have had remasters already though.
Totally agree, Alice the Madness Returns was good, and Split Second mentioned in the article was not bad as well
I always felt that Saboteur was under appreciated, I really did like that game a lot. It was a real shame when Pandemic got shut down.
Celebrating the launch of the new Hobbit movie, The Lord of the Rings Bundle from Bundle Stars brings LEGO: The Hobbit and even more Middle-earth games to Windows PC for only $9.99 / £7.79 / €9.79.
This game is a lot of fun if you play it with a friend in co-op.
great coop fun, just watch out for game breaking glitches!
I've avoided them by reloading the save file every time you play. Other then that its a great hack and slash game!
Game is a bit simple, but great fun in co-op. Just wish I was able to run it at more than 10 frames per second lol! Played it with my brother, though we only managed to get co-op working over Hamachi.
For such a network focussed game, I would've expected better.
