In a large loft in New York City's Chelsea neighborhood a few weeks back, the publisher had nearly a dozen folks -- some from the game's developer, Heavy Iron Studios, some from THQ, some from the National Academy of Sports Medicine, and even one actual UFC fighter -- to show off the game. To be clear, that's about three times the number of people normally showing off a single game to the press. And during my demonstration, I was the only member of the press in attendance".
Fifty-two weeks, without missing a ingle show. The Fantastic Neighborhood crew celebrates by drinking bourbon and beer, then feeding the show notes into Random.org.
The show covers, in no particular order, Dead Space 3, Fire Emblem, Extra Lives: Why Video Games Matter, All Superheros Must Die, Analogue: A Hate Story, the current Aliens: Colonial Marine Debacle, UFC Trainer, and a look at what could have been.
so how it's been going-on this days, still not missing a single ingle? if so, then that's good to know. i guess i can be part of the celebrations then.
Congrats.
If you're a fan of all things THQ, take notice because they have placed a lot of games and DLC on sale this week.
They already announced that Metro 2033 would be 50% off so it would make sense for everything to follow suit.
Is metro worth picking up? I'm leaning towards yes...but I hear it's got very little replay value and is quite linear.
Yes, It's atmosphere is great, story is good, and why the heck would you skip a single player game based on replay value isn't the point to experience the game at least once? (though that's why achievments are there for replay value also there are two different endings)
I've heard good things about it too so between what I know, what I like and what you said I'll definitely be grabbing it on sale.
$9.99 is a steal and I haven't seen the retail hard-copy go down that low yet (which I was waiting for). Picked up Crysis 1 on sale, looks like Metro has a new home on my HD now.
Thanks.
