ShackNews: he upcoming Unreal Engine 3 reboot of Apogee's 1995 classic, Rise of the Triad, doesn't offer much, other than a few game tweaks. But, that may be enough to warrant another playthrough.
Interceptor Entertainment is bringing the game back to life, virtually unchanged from the original. Players can still choose from one of the five main characters, all operatives of the High-Risk United Nations Taskforce (HUNT) out to stop some cultists out to destroy Los Angeles (yeah, it's trite, but the game wasn't made for its in-depth story). Each character has different benefits, but we played Taradino, who was the only character in the original shareware version of the game and the one with perhaps the best all-around stats.
OX writes: "Battlefield 1 is out this week, and it takes the military shooter series to World War 1. This conflict was one of the most bloody and horrifying in modern history, but that doesn't preclude it from including an unexpectedly moving section where you play as a pigeon. It's not the first time a game has let us briefly, bizarrely be an animal, as Show of the Week discovers."
News - Soundtrack from Andrew Hulshut of Brutal Doom and Rise of the Triad.
Outside Xbox:
" Merry Fallout Christmas! In the spirit of the season, we bring cheer to the residents of Fallout 4's Sanctuary by decking the halls of the tumbledown shanty town. Some would say a light-up Christmas tree that requires three large generators to power is excessive in a town that doesn't have a clean water supply, but those people are grinches whom you must ignore. "
