Liam Pritchard of Brash Games writes "I wasn’t sure if I was just getting old but the recent releases of Bulletstorm and Duke Nukem Forever had proved surprisingly depressing affairs. Issues with quality aside (Bulletstorm is technically brilliant and Duke Nukem Forever is just plain terrible), both games’ attempts at humour had left me cold and somewhat concerned at the quality (or lack thereof) of comedic writing within the industry".
Grasshopper Manufacture's Shadows of the Damned returns this year with a remaster, and Hardcore Gamer got to talk with Suda51 about it, among other things...
Back in 2011, Epic Games and People Can Fly launched a Call of Duty parody - Duty Calls - that has been lost to the annals of history.
"Duty Calls: The Calm Before the Storm" sounds more like a massive case of the sh**s. 😂
I saw the parody mention, and half expected the ability to drop a deuce on your opponent... I left disappointed.
Hahaha i actually just dropped a review of this game on my channel! I hit all the story beats for anybody too lazy to install it and play through it

Bulletstorm will soon receive a VR remake, but is it worth revisiting? Take a look back at the original 2011 release.
Absolutely. I remember when the game came out on ps360, I thought: "wow, another shooter" and in the 7th gen that wasn't an unfair reaction.
But when the game was re-release on ps4 I took my time an played it (it was on playstation plus at the time) because, ironically, I missed a shooter in that console. And boy, what a fun game! They made a game to be played and not to be watched. It was a fresh air in the genre that deserved better.
So yes. Maybe it find its audience this time.
I got it on PS3 at launch and am still waiting for the long rumored sequel to finally be announced. Currently have it on Switch and wish a physical version of that would be released. Absolutely love it.
I actually feel like this game gets revived all the time, not that I hate the game, I actually quite like it, it's just constantly available, unfortunately I'm not a fan of VR so I'll be skipping this version.
i found portal 2 to be unfunny as well. just childish banter like what you find on family guy and big bang. silly but not even remotely funny or witty. i found BFBC1 pretty funny
bullet storm was not "technically brilliant". how can a game where you get stuck multiple times (and have to restart the checkpoint/level) be classed as technically brilliant?
