OXM UK: The Saboteur review

Sean Devlin is Irish. No, really, he says things like "top o' the mornin'" and is unable to pronounce his dental fricatives.

He's also on a drip-feed of whiskey and women, and headbutts any Nazis who dare to call him British. He is, regrettably, voiced by an American who absolutely cannot do the accent, so in a single sentence his upbringing veers between Dublin, Belfast, Cork and every part of Scotland - but despite this he's well-acted, superbly written and the best thing in this slightly duff action game.

Verdict
Great script but a mediocre game.

Uppers
* Surprisingly funny
* Lots of choice
Downers
* Car handling is off
* Feels rigid and unconvincing
* Paris is flat, boxy and uninteresting

Not surprised to see a score like this...despite all the hoopla about the visuals, the game turned out to be average at very best.

EA Sends Classic Titles To Steam

This is a nice collection of classic. EA has opened its vaults and released a series of classic PC games to Steam for the first time ever.

I wish we had a new Command and Conquer.

f you haven't already, consider getting 8-Bit Armies or the new 9-Bit Armies. They're made by some of the same folks from the older C&C, with very similar mechanics; it's just the aesthetics that are completely different.

TheColbertinator66d ago

C&C Red Alert 3 and The Saboteur were two different yet completely unforgettable games to me from a better era of EA.

Actually great list TBH I agree with all 10

I hope one day we get some remakes for the following

The saboteur(with a proper remake and quality of life features this game could be great)
Scarface world is yours
Binary domain ( such a great game with great story)
GUN(this needs a remake)
Space marine 40k(such fun time)

Would also like to suggest adding the mercenary series even the 2nd game which is disliked by many is a fun time

I recently finished Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine and found it to be very enjoyable.

The game respected the lore and the gameplay was quite decent.

The color palette was a bit underwhelming (backdrops and setting) and recycled but I think that it deserved better.

Here's hoping for an amazing sequel
