VGW: Bodycount is an upcoming first-person shooter that releases at the end of this month. Why am I starting this piece so bluntly? Because there has been nearly zero publicity or hype for this game. Maybe it’s thanks to the impending gamepocalypse of this holiday season, or maybe it’s the fact that Codemasters hasn’t done anything to really advertise or hype the game. Perhaps it’s just a game doomed to get lost in the shuffle of amazing first-person shooters that are set to come out over the new couple of months. Either way, Bodycount which is said to be a “spiritual successor” to the same team’s 2006 original Xbox title, Black, is coming out soon, and it’s time to see if this game is going to be worth checking out.
YouTube’s ‘John GodGames Emus’ and ‘Emulators for PC’ have shared some new videos, showing GUN, Bodycount, The Lord of the Rings: War in the North, Wanted: Weapons of Fate and more running on the latest version of the best Xbox 360 emulator, Xenia.
It may have been all but overlooked at launch, but Bodycount is well worth a look for fans or arcade gaming.
