A remake of a game from the 90′s, COG managed to have some old school fun with it.
"There was a time during the early years of the first person shooter genre when there weren’t linear levels, regenerating health, reloading, taking cover, recoil, and walking. This was back in the 90’s when Doom and Wolfenstein were the games to play. There was also a lesser known first person shooter that seemed to have had its own following as well: Rise of the Triad. Enough so that it’s finally gotten a long awaited and overdue reboot. Do you miss the days of 90’s gaming with crazy power weapons, running at Mach 3, terrible one liners, and finding colored keys to progress in levels? If so, Rise of the Triad may just be for you."
OX writes: "Battlefield 1 is out this week, and it takes the military shooter series to World War 1. This conflict was one of the most bloody and horrifying in modern history, but that doesn't preclude it from including an unexpectedly moving section where you play as a pigeon. It's not the first time a game has let us briefly, bizarrely be an animal, as Show of the Week discovers."
News - Soundtrack from Andrew Hulshut of Brutal Doom and Rise of the Triad.
Outside Xbox:
" Merry Fallout Christmas! In the spirit of the season, we bring cheer to the residents of Fallout 4's Sanctuary by decking the halls of the tumbledown shanty town. Some would say a light-up Christmas tree that requires three large generators to power is excessive in a town that doesn't have a clean water supply, but those people are grinches whom you must ignore. "
