Still hoping for a PC version of RDR, suppose that’s pretty unlikely by now though.

I guess if you’re spending that much money then a couple of quid here and there probably isn’t going to bother you. Actually, a lot of the stuff in that article makes more sense if it was written by one of those people who buy overpriced ‘high-end’ cables – it cost 5 times as much, [...]

Volente commented on the blog post The ups and downs of Final Fantasy 4 weeks ago · View
Final Fantasy is, like cricket, one of those things that I don’t actually play or follow myself, but would be sad to see it disappear. It does kind of look like they’re basically going double or nothing with FFXIII-2; making a direct sequel seems like a mistake, surely one of the strengths of the series [...]

It wouldn’t be a handheld system without an array of wildly impracticable third-party tat to strap to it!

Magicka was one of the highlights of last year for me, just so much sheer fun in throwing around barely-controlled magic and causing havoc. Even if it still crashes sometimes.

Volente commented on the blog post Max Payne 3 Brazil setting is perfect for the game – Rockstar VP 1 month, 1 week ago · View
The drug Valkyr, developed by Valhalla Project (whose internal network is named Yggdrasil) and distributed by Aesir Corporation. The Asgard building, headquarters of the one-eyed Alfred Woden. Everything taking place during a terrible snowstorm (Fimbulwinter).
That’s just the first game, which I played several times – I don’t remember if the sequel continued the theme. -
Volente commented on the blog post Max Payne 3 Brazil setting is perfect for the game – Rockstar VP 1 month, 1 week ago · View
It does seem a bit odd to see people talking about the Max Payne games being ‘noir’ – it was definitely there as an influence, but Heroic Bloodshed movies and Norse mythology were equally important if not more so. Plus of course just being set somewhere sunny doesn’t mean it can’t be noir, otherwise huge [...]

Looking forward to this, Binding of Isaac was certainly one of the highlights of 2011 in my book. Not that I’ve managed to unlock all the original content yet.

Volente commented on the blog post Shenmue 3 a possibility? 1 month, 2 weeks ago · View
I found the first two Shenmue games to be absolutely mindblowing, though I don’t know how well they’d hold up these days. I seriously doubt we’ll ever see an end to the story, seeing as they were never exactly mainstream successes. Wouldn’t be too surprised if there was a book/manga/anime/film one day mind.

I can understand why people would like to see more Bastion; it was a great game and one of the best things about it was the way it gave you an excellent sense of place. Instead of giving you reams of background detail and setting description, it uses the personal stories of a handful of [...]

Volente commented on the blog post Tony Hawk has a new game? 2 months, 2 weeks ago · View
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2 remains one of my favourite games of all time, it’s so disappointing to see the series fall so low. A new game that recaptured the fun of the earlier installments would be very welcome indeed, though I’m not going to get my hopes up just yet.
