CalmDownTom says, "Paul Taylor and Ian Hardingham have created a wonderful game in Frozen Synapse, and while the additions for the Red expansion aren’t huge, they do bring more depth and life to the game."
Call it a mixed reaction, but when Valve pressed whatever big red button they have out there in Washington that released this year’s Steam Summer Sale, a handful of us on staff both squealed in excitement and shuddered in terror.
You see, Steam sales area almost always a dangerous thing. On the one hand, videogames we’ve been waiting to play all year become dirt cheap, despite the fact that we tend to spend too much money on them anyway. Not to mention they just compound our growing backlog problem anyway. Really, who among us has the time to play all the games they picked up?
With this summer’s biggest digital sale now in the books, we at Pixelitis realize that we don’t have nearly enough time to play them all. After the jump, some of us outline some of the biggest Summer Sale mistakes we made this year.
Think of it as a cautionary tale.
"Frozen Synapse is one of the most difficult games I’ve ever played. Fortunately, the release of Frozen Synapse: Red brings co-operative play, and I think I might stand a chance at finishing the campaign."
Jeff of Just Press Star writes:
"Frozen Synapse: Red is the eagerly awaited expansion pack to the hit turn based tactical title from Mode 7. In the interview portion of the festivities, Mode 7‘s Paul Taylor and I discuss creating an expansion and advanced design theory. I also get him to spill the beans (a bit) about a potential new project from the team!"
