"As it 'Tis the season... this month we've put together a list of all the games that should be on every gamers Christmas list (if you don't own them already). Also, Toby grapples with THQ's WWE '12 and we look at kick ass indie hit - Stealth Bastard.
"And to be in with a chance of winning a cool Christmas prize bundle..."
Alex & Mike talk Biomutant, a game from Experiment 101/THQ Nordiq you likely have not heard of. While the AAA side of the industry tends to homogenization and imitative, cinematic presentation, “AA” games remain creative and innovative in 2021. Drawing on inspirations as varied as Dark Souls, third person shooters & kung fu cinema, Biomutant is Ratchet & Clank on acid, developed by a team of 20 people.
The Prime Gaming lineup for February has been revealed, and it's a romantic one this month, with dating sims aplenty (and some action games too!).
Man, Prime games have been getting rougher and rougher. Most of the games they've given out that I've currently got installed were given out months/years ago. Many of the newer games they've offered have either not been terribly exciting, old enough most people who cared to buy the games have bought it, or they've been included in bundles elsewhere many times already. And I even remember they'd occasionally do special things, like Black Friday a few years back they gave out games like Pillars of Eternity and Tyranny. Nothing like that since.
It is a nice bonus of being a Prime member, getting these games, but I think I'd rather they give out 1 decent game every month than the lower quality, kind of scattershot 5 they do now. Then again, if you don't buy too many games you can get solid ones now and again (Void Bastards, Wizards of Legend, etc). But at least for me, personally, haven't gotten a lot in recent memory that's really excited me. Sadly looks the same for this month.
Some of you may know that the latest instalment in the WWE gaming franchise 2K20 was released late last year to generally poor reviews. Some of this was based on graphical issues, but mostly it was due to the many glitches and bugs found – many of which are hilarious to witness.
Fire Pro needs more love. The last PS4 title gets regular playtime from me.
I hear that there are financial troubles at the studio, but I'm hopeful for a Switch port one of these days.
I have Fire Pro for PS4 and PC but it seems more of like a Sim creator rather than people actually playing out matches. I still dont like anything as much as the N64 games
Yes, the WWE ones at least. The last good one was 2K14 and the last great one was Here Comes the Pain.
