AG: If you've ever seen or read an apocalypse story, you know it's not the natural catastrophe that's the real killer (or at least the real horror), but the resulting fallout in the quest for survival, as man turns against fellow man, while governments clamp down in an attempt to maintain order. Such seems to be the case in the upcoming indie adventure Richard & Alice, though it's entirely unclear just what caused the devastating extreme weather conditions afflicting the planet, and who or what is now in charge. I recently had the chance to play through a preview demo of the game, and already I've been swept up in the plight of its titular protagonists and the surreal world they live in.
Mastertronic and the Humble Weekly Bundle are offering 14 PC games, including many for Mac and Linux, to support the charity organizations, GamesAid and SpecialEffect, and of course, the developers.
Pay whatever you want and decide who your money goes to - the choice is entirely yours!
The Humble Bundle is one of the few industry trends I really love, from these last few years.
OnlySP: As the year draws to a close, let’s take a look back at the Top 5 tear-jerking and/or heartbreaking games of 2014.
Warning spoilers ahead.
I found the inclusion of Watch Dogs very odd...even more odd because of this quote at the end of the paragraph:
"Overall, Watch_Dogs did okay emotionally"
Doesn't seem like something you'd say of a game that sits in a Top 5 anything list "did okay"...hmm, strange.
After The Last of Us & Beyond Two Souls, no other game connected with me on an emotional level.
I am resigned to engage the following media only on these levels:
Games - Action
Movies - Emotions
From the review: "In a game that brings a little of the very best of retro point and click gaming nostalgia and also some of it's worst, only a decent narrative and a big plot twist can save Richard and Alice from a far worse fate than living in an ice world."
