"If Unity of Command is new to you then we should both be somewhat ashamed of ourselves. Me for not evangelising what I consider the most shamefully overlooked game of the last few years strongly enough and you for the sheer crime of missing out on it. I am going to assume that you haven’t played it – after all, those that have will have undoubtedly bought the DLC upon release and are far too busy launching offensives across Germany to bother reading this – so I suggest that before you read on you take a look at my original review of the game… don’t worry, I’ll wait."
Ken Levine is the creative director and co-founder of Irrational Games, makers of one of this year's most oft-listed games, BioShock Infinite. When he's not creatively directing BioShock things or working on Logan's Run remake screenplays, you can often find him chatting up fans on Twitter.
"Billy mays here!" - Is all I could think of when I saw that image :P
No but seriously, A few good games but the rest to me are meh...
@lets_go_gunners :i'm also allowed to have my opinion about his own opinion.
i haven't played any game of what he played.
He can have an opinion of his opinion, as you may have an opinion of his opinion of the opinion. In my opinion, his opinion of the opinion is very opinionated.
if he dont like sony exclusives so it does not means that he is not having good taste ,he is more smarter than you fanboys.
Do you not stop to think that maybe you having not played those games, speak more about you than him?
There's some excellent games on that list.
Not strange, but definitely different. Many of those don't appeal to me but I like that his list is different and not just the "same old" stuff.
Hmm, i agree with XCOM and Dishonored. I already completed it on console, but i got the GOTY Edition for Dishonored during Steam sale as well.
Dishonored is best first person adventure since first Half life and Metroide Prime,finish twice even though first person view give me motion sickness but it was that great
Since we know they're doing another Dishonored, i hope we get to explore something new. I want to see what happens beyond Dunwall. Maybe some more green areas, compared to the city environment.
At least i hope they're developing it for the now current gen, so they can take advantage of their experience.
Beat it, one of the best games I have played in a long time. But I was so ruthless that it was unbelievable, not one survived my rat horde!
"Why? Because M.O.D.O.K., that’s why!"
I can say the same thing about Howard the Duck
I wouldn't say strange, Ken Leviene is a smart man as shown by his Novel like stories so it would only make sense that he would be into the most intellectually stimulating kind of games which are Strategy games. Also the man must love music.
That's the thing though. Ken LOVES stories. Leaving out Gone Home, The Last of Us, or any other story-heavy title is strange. Even if strategy is his thing, he has Wind Waker HD and LEGO: Marvel Superheroes on here. Both great, but again...makes no sense.
True, maybe when you only work on a certain style you just appreciate other styles more.
2X2 Games announced the latest DLC for 'Unity of Command'.
Excerpt: "It’s easy to dismiss Unity of Command because it is turn-based, a strategy title, looks like a tabletop game, takes place in World War II, and even its liberal use of hexes. It seems like a contradiction, but the Croatian developers at 2×2 Games have made an accessible, fun, hardcore turn-based strategy game that looks and plays great without overwhelming you with systems and screens.
What you see, is what you get in Unity of Command. There are no hidden screens or other UI elements that aren’t front-facing from the moment you start a game. You can learn how to play for yourself, or absorb the information from the included digital manual. I recommend you start with the Tutorial and introductory scenario if you’re at all new to the genre or style of play. Featuring two campaigns: the Soviet and the Axis, each re-enacting history, asking you to perform specific tasks are individually challenging. It is extremely likely the game will take you out back, beat you up until you learn how to play it properly."
