It’s hard not to get excited when you get to see the next post-apocalyptic adventure RPG in its current generation glory, slo-mo killbits and all. You knew it was coming, and Bethesda delivered a rousing presentation. With the developer’s aim to fix the first title’s issues, especially the past game’s muddled story, this catalyst is looking less volatile and more of a stable compound for fun. Controls are also made easier Faith runs on default, with moves like wall runs and sliding being as easy as using trigger buttons and simple button presses. She’s also tossed in an open-world city (sensing a theme here) where missions are free-flowing and freedom of movement is encouraged. Gun combat is completely gone our parkouring heroine Faith has to rely on movement, momentum, and acrobatics to defeat her foes.

Attach grappling hooks with enough force to cause a dictator’s statue to slap itself repeatedly to oblivion. Never ever leave the ground using a combination of the wingsuit and grappling hook.

With intuitive controls thanks to the Wii U tablet and the option to switch between different 2D sprite Mario titles, the sky’s the limit for 2D level-making which also leads to potential self-taught lessons in basic game design. Or cunning deathtrap stages filled with giant Bullet Bills and Thwomp Traps to infuriate your friends with. ROMs illegally now you can use Nintendo’s patented graph paper-styled Mario Level maker to create that dream stage you always wanted. No need to play around with Super Mario Bros. What could be better than seeing a new iteration of space case Starfox 64 with gyroscopic Wii U tablet controls, a transforming Arwing, fast-paced flight sim action, and anthropomorphic animals smack-talking each other in space? Well, how about having top action gaming pioneers Platinum Games co-developing this title with Nintendo? Colour us super-interested as the holiday season of 2015 can’t come soon enough.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that, mind you, but it will take more than that to impress the jaded crowd who want a fresh spin of a third-person action adventure game with a snarky grave robber straight out of a Joss Whedon-written TV show. The fact that the graphics and detail for the shooter look gorgeous also helps.īut beyond that, we worry that it feels like the same old ride all over again like how developer Naughty Dog wowed a lot of others with similarly bombastic set-pieces. The HEAVY HITTERSĪn open-ended(ish) car chase, marketplace shootout, and panning vistas sure grabbed our attention for the fifth Uncharted game. Here are our picks of the games that blew our proverbial clothes, socks, and undergarments off during the week known as “Christmas for gamers”. The digital interactive experiences that were promised to us enthusiasts, fans, and consumers.
