Looking forward to this a lot, Company of Heroes is probably my favourite RTS in a long time.

Volente commented on the blog post Looking back at the dark world of Max Payne 2 days ago · View
The thing with the first Max Payne was that I couldn’t tell whether it was a deliberate parody or if they were genuinely trying to play it straight but didn’t really have a good handle on what they were trying to do. It worked out well enough though, the way the tone veers around wildly [...]

I think we all knew this was going to happen from the moment Blizzard announced it was going to be ‘always-online-only’.

Oliver North!?
I mean, I guess he does have experience with this sort of thing, but. . . -
Volente commented on the blog post The Showdown Effect preview – Arrowhead go wild with the multiplayer shooter 2 weeks, 6 days ago · View
Having really loved Magicka this seems promising, looks like it could have that same sense of barely-controlled kinetic lunacy.
Hopefully fewer technical issues this time though. -
Volente commented on the blog post Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 set in the future, shakes up game mechanics 3 weeks ago · View
Well, that wasn’t what I was expecting.
Did anyone else think the music sounded similar to Michael McCann’s Deus Ex: Human Revolution soundtrack? -
Volente commented on the blog post ‘Is Call of Duty creating a generation of murderers?’ asks the Daily Mail 3 weeks, 1 day ago · View
Honestly, the tired scaremongering doesn’t irritate me so much as the hackneyed ‘controversial statement with a question mark’ device.
Also, even if it’s true that gamers are more likely to aim for the head in reality that should make them if anything less dangerous, not more! -

I’m really looking forward to this, if it can live up to it’s potential it could be something very special indeed.

The way things are going, it’s only a matter of time before something on Kickstarter goes seriously sideways. . .

Volente commented on the blog post Police Warfare Kickstarter cancelled, possible publisher deal 4 weeks, 1 day ago · View
I wasn’t too surprised when the Kickstarter was cancelled, it seemed like the goal was far too low to create this kind of game, I thought maybe they’d suddenly realised they’d bitten off a bit too much. Still, best of luck to them – I’ve wanted a game that captures the feeling of the bank [...]

Volente commented on the blog post Ubisoft sued over Assassin’s Creed copyright infringement 1 month ago · View
The whole thing seems patently ridiculous, but I don’t think there’s necessarily anything suspicious about the time lapse – Assassin’s Creed is big, but not so big that I can’t believe that someone who isn’t into games might not know about the plot. Reminds me of the rash of people saying J K Rowling stole [...]

Obligatory ‘YES MIRRORS EDGE 2 PLEASE’ (and on PC).
Although “completely mapping Faith’s movement to yours” sounds a bit unlikely. And potentially damaging to your living room. -

The environments looked pretty good in places, but the shooting seemed seriously underwhelming. Well, time will tell.

Volente commented on the blog post BeefJack’s Button Bashers want to know what you think of GAME’s troubles 1 month, 3 weeks ago · View
“Two brands, at least two stores in every town” Hanley has (or had) two GAME stores in the same shopping centre, one of which I think started as an Electonics Boutique, almost right next to each other and both with the same stock. Then there was a Gamestation just outside. Talk about keeping overheads down. [...]

Volente commented on the blog post Warhammer 40K: Dark Millennium Online no longer online 1 month, 3 weeks ago · View
As much as I’d love a Warhammer 40,000 RPG I’m not at all sure a repurposed MMO is the way to go.

Volente commented on the blog post BeefJack’s Button Bashers want to know what you think of GAME’s troubles 1 month, 3 weeks ago · View
I can’t think of the last time I bought something in GAME, though I’m pretty sure I ordered one or two things from them online last year. I call in the local store occasionally but even that’s getting rarer and rarer, the selection available on the shelves has been rapidly shrinking for years and at [...]

I’m a huge fan of Worms, but I’ve been disappointed by pretty much every game since Worms World Party so it’s hard to feel much excitment.

I actually quite liked the plot of the first game, I thought it was an interesting twist on the traditional amnesiac hero story.

I hope he’s right, but I expect the bulk of what was GAMEs business will go to the supermarkets.
