While the game's content is definitely aimed at a mature audience, the games are generally considered a nihilistic satire of modern life and parody of modern pop culture. So although the characters and storylines have serious undertones, it's because of the games often playful nature they aren't considered mature in same sense as a game like The Last Of Us or Telltale's The Walking Dead series — which is the intention of the develop
As a video game (not a movie), Hasbro has an extraordinary opportunity to recreate a faithful strategy adaptation of the board game that occupied many of our childhoods. Instead, they seem to think that the FPS market needs more saturating, and that a compartmentalized (read: gimmicky) ship component will tide fans over. Hopefully they just gave off the wrong first impression, but I can see Battleship chalking up a lot of white pegs when it releases in
Putting sex and violence aside, the game achieves its mature depth of story through the use of political intrigue, racial divide, religious extremism, and even its novel approach to choice and consequen
SEGA's Yakuza series has been around since 2005 and released exclusively on PlayStation consoles in the West. Yakuza 0 makes a good starting point for those new to the series as it's a prequel to the original Yakuza — the original Yakuza game named Yakuza: Kiwami has been remade from the ground up for the PlayStation 4 and will be released in August 2
The first game in the series to offer more than one protagonist, things play a bit differently than before. As each character is introduced, you’ll play only as them for a few hours to get acquainted with their backstory and style of play. After all three characters are firmly established (about ten hours in), however, the rest of the narrative shifts between them. There’s missions unique to each character, some of which focus solely on their story (like Michael keeping his awful family at bay) and others that combine all three characters together. One mission, for instance, has Trevor flying a helicopter, Michael repelling from it and scaling a building and Franklin providing cover via a sniper rifle from a neighboring building. While some parts of the mission must be done as a certain character (like Michael repelling), others let you play as you want to. For instance, after fleeing, you can choose to either pilot the helicopter, shoot from inside or provide cover from a building with a sniper rifle. This swap happens on the fly via holding down on the d-pad, which allows any one of the three of the characters to be chosen. You can complete these mission parts as just one of the characters, but it’s generally best to cycle between all three to be most efficient. In-between missions, characters can almost always be swapped to at will by the same d-pad method. This is effective for both doing individual missions and covering different parts of the city. As the character’s safehouses are generally spread apart, it’s a nice feature as the character closest to the desired destination can instantly be swapped to, saving commuting time.
These Easter eggs have convinced some players that Mei, the sole survivor from her team, is actually the Thing from the 1982 film. In the left side corridor of the left spawn room, you can look through a window and see the same ice block that the Thing thawed out of. Coincide
These games have all been enjoyable in the most video gamey ways possible, with big set pieces accompanied by fast paced action and plenty of gore. However, one thing I can't stand is Kratos. There's not enough time for me to air all my grievances, but let's start with his undying love for his wife. It, and the loss of his daughter, fuels his rage. He’ll do anything to avenge their souls. However, he's not above sleeping with random women in every game. Kratos, you've got some terrible marriage issues bud, the least of which is that your wife and child's are dead while you do the dirty deed with these prostitutes. True, his wife is dead, so he's allowed to explore other women by now, but if he does then he has no claim to his rage. Look in the mirror Kratos because you're the real vill

A former two-bit criminal, Michael has retired into a witness protection program. Thanks to his previous life, he’s absolutely loaded and lives in a mansion with two kids and a wife. His kids are spoiled brats, with the son spending all day smoking pot and playing video games (no offensive, readers) and the daughter a fame-obsessed promiscuous teenager who will do anything to become a celebrity. His wife, on the other hand, resents him even though he gives her anything she could possibly want (including some surgical enhancements) and is having an affair with likely multiple suitors. Depressed and not challenged in his current country club life, Michael decides to team with Franklin for some excitement. Unfortunately, coming out of retirement made former partner and current psychopath, Trevor Philips character analysis, take notice.
