FTG Writes: Earlier in the year I had a chance to see Interceptor Entertainment’s work with the iOS port of Duke Nukem II. It was nice to see Duke get some new life in the mobile market, but the game was plagued with problems that made it far from fun to play. This left me worried, as I had been paying attention to Interceptor’s handling of Rise of the Triad for close to a year. Colors of excitement plastered my face as information came out, as it was something that was near and dear to my heart in my PC gaming history. After seeing how Duke Nukem II was handled though, I began to have my doubts. Would it re-kindle the fire I felt in my youth for the first-person shooter? Or would I be faced with yet another letdown that preyed on the hopes of nostalgia?
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.
