The Club retrospective

EuroGamer - Most modern shooters go out of their way to provide a narrative justification for their eight hours of explosions and headshots. In 2008, Bizarre Creation's The Club barely even bothered.

An opening cinematic took less than two minutes to introduce you to a cast of eight playable characters and The Club itself, with little time left over to establish your motivation. So instead of narrative, it was the game's mechanics that compelled you kill. And rather than repelling invaders, overthrowing a tyrant, or restoring the honour of your clan, The Club had you killing for points.

I remember renting this. Pretty meh all around.

LackTrue4K4030d ago

this game COULD of been much better, with very little effort. :/

The controls were too clunky and the viewpoint too close,it was a good idea, I actually liked it enough to play through twice but yeah, most of it was meh, especially the multiplayer, why no ghost runs or co-op instead of a lame TDM mode?

Classic Mobile Game Spotlight - The Club Mobile

Zach writes: 'Do you remember a time when mobile gaming wasn’t something you had to be ashamed of, when it wasn’t plagued with microtransactions and billions of cheaply-made ‘granny horror’ and bug-filled Fortnite clones? Back in the mid to late 2000’s, most mobile games were programmed in Java, and were usually linked to bigger console releases.'.

Five Overlooked Last-Gen Games - Pixel Gate

Sean Halliday of Pixel Gate writes:

''For every blockbuster title that garners high praise and sales, there a number of games that fly under the radar. There’s plenty of great titles that have plenty to offer but, for numerous reasons, never get the love and attention they deserve. This isn’t the definitive list of the most overlooked games; it’s merely a look at few of them.''

I'm glad Chinatown Wars is there. This is one of the best GTAs in the series. Right up there with 5 and SA. Get the DS version. You won't be disappointed. Also like to add that the wanted system in GTACTW is by far my favorite of any GTA.

Venoxn4g3616d ago

its definitely better than gta IV :) i liked it a lot

Goro3616d ago

The Club sucked, where is Yakuza 3 or 4 or Binary Domain or Sleeping Dogs.

GamerEuphoria3616d ago

Since when was Sleeping Dogs overlooked?

Goro3616d ago

Since before it was available on PlayStation Plus.

mydyingparadiselost3616d ago

I think mine would be
Majin and the Forsaken Kingdom
Tastunoko V Capcom
House of the Dead Overkill
Deadly Premonition
Sam and Max
Honestly I think this last gen had a lot of overlooked titles or at least titles that didn't see the amount of sales they should have. It makes me worry for the future of the current generation.

The Club might have been a new idea , but it doesnt mean that all of those are good .

And Deadly preomonition was hardly overlooked . It's a game that had a bigger than expected and deserved success based on the weird hype "that's it so bad you gotta play it and gonna love it" (an opinion i dont share)

GamerEuphoria3616d ago

Since the game came out I've been trying to get EVERYONE to play it, thus it popped up on this list, it's still not very well known in the UK

Monster_Tard3616d ago

Really liked WWE All Stars, never got to play it online as the servers went down by the time I picked it up.
