Gaming Thread 9/28/2014Been playing quite a bit of Archeage this past week (level 33). Game is not a looker but it's been a lot of fun and the amount of stuff you can do is pretty good. So Steam finally unveiled the long talked about updates to the store. And IMO, I wish they could go back as it's a mess of a front page. People thought it had a problem with content finding and they made that worse. "Current" gen has finally kicked off on the PC as Bethesda is asking for 4GB cards to play The Evil Within And Warner Brothers is asking for 6GB cards to play Shadow of Mordor with "Ultra" textures. As for what they will actually require will make benchmarks very interesting I'm keeping away from the P&P games even though there are some really good ones (Call of Cthulhu,, Vampire The Masquerade and Deadlands being the predominate ones around here) as I was hoping to keep it in a day at most time frame for it's gametime (like I've got a campaign of Call of Cthulhu I'm in that is 12 years running vOv). Gloom (2 - 4 players, try for 4) - You can play classic fast paced original version (with expansions) which is very casual friendly and makes for a perfect game over drinks or you can go with the Cthulhu version which adds a few wrinkles to it's game play like having to finish a story instead of killing your family and it adds some modifiers to your family members. I think the original version plays better as it's a faster pick up and play but I tend to always be outvoted and stuck playing this. Though I prefer the original, you can't go wrong with either as it's a good little diddy that won't break your pocketbook.
And totally not horror related but Lord of The Rings: Shadow of Mordor (PC, PS4, XBO, 360, PS3) - I didn't expect much from this open world Assassin's Creed/Arkham Asylum game but the reviews are outstanding for it and I'm pretty sure I'm going to be picking this one up. Forza Horizon 2 (XBO & 360) - Sad that this is the closest we're going to get to a new Project Gotham Racing but it's a good series so far. First game was really good and the demo of the second game was quite a bit of fun for an arcadey racer. That being said, racing really is one of the three genres that needs to be 60FPS (fighting, racing and shmups). At least the soundtrack is great top to bottom. Super Smash Bros. (3DS) - Also coming to the Wii U (supposed to be right before Black Friday). Early impressions have been good if you like the series (I personally have never liked Super Smash Buttons) and it looks okay graphically. Eh Crimes & Punishments: Sherlock Holmes (PC, 360, PS3, XBO, PS4) - New game from Frogwares where there is no middle ground on if this Sherlock Holmes game is good (Awakening, Jack The Ripper) or bad (Earring, Baskerville). At least they finally upgraded to UE3 though it's lead to a "gritty" Sherlock Holmes.
