We take a look back over the great archive of video games that's on offer to choose our all-time top five most memorable locations.
Games Asylum: "Well, this is neat. As the name suggests, Wrath of the Mutants is the rarest of things – a genuine arcade conversion. With most modern arcade games being ticket redemption machines, this is something seldom seen. In fact, the last arcade conversion we can recall was Raw Thrill’s own Cruis’n’ Blast on Switch back in 2021. This is also based on an older iteration of TMNT, harking back to the series from 2012-2017. It’s essentially breaking franchise continuity (we’ve had two different iterations of the Turtles since) and could even be considered nostalgic for a select few – those who grew up with 2012’s Turtles are probably in their late teens."
Fuse ARPG, Soulslike, and cozy crafting mechanics for a one-of-a-kind adventure. Here is The Nerd Stash's early impressions of No Rest for the Wicked.
Starship Troopers: Extermination is continuing its early access period with a class system overhaul that will give players more options when it comes to pushing back the bugs.
It must be frustrating for these devs to see Helldivers 2 absolutely devour their lunch lol
-Oh my God, this game looks like a complete rip-off of Helldivers II!
-At least it gives Xbox players the chance to experience something similar to the PlayStation game!
Jokes aside it does make you wonder why Sony, who owns the IP for both, is continuing with two products when there is such overlap. Should it one day make a new Starship Troopers film or a Helldivers film instead?
Pretty good list. But for me areas of shadow of the colossus held very memorable locations. Final fantasy 7's midgard, or gold saucer are memorable for me. Also, the deku tree in ocarina of time, or the castle in Mario 64! So many more I could list. Each to their own I guess though.
A cargo plane...really? Of all the thousands of games there have been...a cargo plane. Where's Hyrule's Water temple? Where's Half Life's Black Mesa? Or Half Life 2's City 17? Where's the fucking ring world from Halo? But no...a Cargo plane.
Shadow Moses, Hyrule, Chernarus....
Zanarkand.
