[Play Vault Asks:] Who Remembers Hogs Of War?

Play Vault's Editor:

"Are you getting older? Can you not really remember what happened yesterday or even five minutes ago? Where did I put my glasses? What was I doing again? Oh, yeah. I was writing this new feature. Who Remembers…? will be a series of articles where I will be taking a look back at some of the best and worst games from days of old. There will be some reminiscing, a few treasured memories and maybe, at times, too much use of the rose tinted glasses.

HOW was narrated by Bottom and The Young One’s star Rik Myall. Rik’s comedic quips about the other hogs often had me chuckling along as I filled a little piggy full of lead. The hogs each had their own names and the two that spring to my mind are Gunther and Brian. I shall name my unborn children Gunther and Brian in homage to these two hogs*. Brian and Gunther’s name shall go down in the history books as being characters from one of the most fun games of all time! *Note – Jonmau5 may or may not actually call his children Brian and Gunther."

very good game, I've enjoyed it more than worms

Jonmau54080d ago

I totally agree, I thought Hogs improved on Worms and really modernised the turn based combat concept. Plus who can't love a game that has pig characters called Leder Hose, Herr Strike, Gunther, Brian and Dave?

Like worms 3D before "worms 3D". Fun game lol

Jonmau54079d ago

Your right Blastoise, It did Worms better in 3D than Worms 3d even did!

SecretPsycho4080d ago

Hogs of War Lardcore Kickstarter is Live

The cult classic from PlayStation 1 era is coming back. Talented developers are resurrecting a game with better graphics and a modern touch. Hogs of War is a tactical, turn-based, third person game that has a lot of similarities to Worms series and at same time has its own unique flair.

If the Hogs of War Lardcore Kickstarter will be succesful, the game will come to PlayStation 4 and 5 and if a certain stretch goal will be met, it will come to the PC as well. No stretch goals regarding additional platforms have been announced at this moment.

Forgotten PSone Franchises Sony Should Unveil At E3 2014

Many great videogame franchises debuted on Sony's PSone. While the Crash Bandicoots and Spyro the Dragons of the early Playstation era saw releases on subsequent generation consoles and handhelds, some game series did not move on from Sony's little grey box. So let’s take a look at some of these ill-fated games and why Sony should reintroduce them at E3 2014...but probably won't.

PlayStation Store Preview – March 19th, 2013: There’s Always PS Plus

After a few solid weeks, the PlayStation Store has its first big lull of 2013. There is still some content to dig into, but it lacks any major heavy hitters. If anything the DLC may be more interesting, as new content is releasing for a few of our favorite games of 2012. If you can’t find anything for you this week, there’s always PlayStation Plus.

TrendyGamers4050d ago

I'll definitely be getting The Cave.

ziggurcat4050d ago

it's a good little puzzle platformer that has that classic double fine charm.

Wedge194050d ago

The Cave! Yay, can't wait.

ApolloTheBoss4050d ago (Edited 4050d ago )

Just starting playing Infamous 2 and Spec Ops on PS Plus and they're both kick-ass. Also about to try LBP2. I tell you PS Plus has to be the greatest thing I've ever bought. EVER. SOOO glad I left Xbox for this.

LOGICWINS4050d ago

Spec Ops has one of the strongest campaigns this gen!

Derekvinyard134050d ago

Dam straight, the story is so addicting ! Very well done
