Nice, I missed this first time around. Really behind on the series, but I think they work as standalone titles. Or not, anyone clued up?

Neonridr3607d ago

the stories are separate enough that you can enjoy any one in the series without having played the previous ones. But the characters transcend the entire series and occasionally there may be references to previous situations from prior games, but it's all pretty minor.

I never played the first one and only jumped in at part 2. Never got around to playing part 1 yet and I was able to enjoy part 2 with no problems.

OhMyGandhi3607d ago

This series always intrigued me, is it worth playing?

Steptoe3607d ago

Broken Sword. Many a frustrating hour spent just looking at the screen wondering what the hell to do next. A must buy for me.

psplova3607d ago

Lol.. I'm at that point right now in the original BS actually. Loving every minute if it!

Hydrphobia... never heard of that one but it looks interesting.

Teflon021233d ago

I tried when it was given on ps plus like 8 years ago for the same reason. I promise you, it's not worth your time

darthv721233d ago

thanks for the info.

gee... I guess my not knowing about this really struck a nerve with some people.

CobraKai1232d ago

@darth
Or maybe it’s that you found it interesting. I remember seeing this on 360 and thinking the same tho.

isarai1233d ago

It has interesting water physics, but past that it's very meh.

robothouserock1233d ago

This site is toxic for anything besides lurking. I've been coming here for years and this is probably my first comment in five years.

Atom6661233d ago

I downvoted you to help you feel welcomed.

robothouserock1233d ago

Been on this site for ten years or so, but thanks!

x_xavier_x1233d ago (Edited 1233d ago )

I'm pretty sure that they down-voted you because you said that the game "looks interesting". Didn't you know, there's no positivity allowed on N4G... particularly when talking about anything related to Xbox.

itsmebryan1233d ago

It's sad but, true. It's not just Xbox related. I said "Ghost wire looks interesting. I hope it's good" and got a bunch of downvoted. Smh

Kran1233d ago

Sorry to break it to you.

Its not.

porkChop1232d ago

I bought it on Steam for $1.50 and I still felt ripped off.

Gamer791232d ago

It's not bad, a bit janky though.

I’m sorry but this is pathetically bad. I defend Xbox sometimes but what is this crap??? Lol

roadkillers1233d ago

“Just get Gamepass and stfu” - my sentiments exactly. What’s the point of game for gold now.

gerbintosh1232d ago

Can't have GWG looking good when they are pushing game pass. Eventually people will get tired of the garbage games and switch

babadivad1232d ago

The only good thing about Games with Gold is you own the games forever even if you discontinue paying for live. You don't have to worry about it being cycled out like you do with GP. You actually own it.

dilbig51232d ago

@babadivad

You only keep the 360 games.

peppeaccardo1232d ago

Plain and simple this is how they push people into Gamepass ... one turd after another on GWG !!

porkChop1232d ago

Broken Sword is cool, but the rest are pretty garbage offerings.

Another terrible month.

They should either improve it or just kill it already and tell people GamePass is where you go to get games via subscription.

gangsta_red1233d ago (Edited 1233d ago )

GWG hasn't been a factor since GP has been available, it's almost insulting now

Teflon021233d ago

Just cancel it at this point, don't think anyone will even care, saves ms money and everyone basically uses gamepass now anyways

sparky771233d ago

Exactly just let it die and save some money for Game Pass deals.

It shocks me every month that they can still find games that I have never heard of before.

jznrpg1232d ago

Or they could offer better games

UC4 was a great relationship story, even if that wasn't it's primary focus. Anyone who's been in a long term relationship knows that it can be like a rollercoaster with the highs and lows, UC4 illustrated this brilliantly.

Fist4achin2311d ago

A list for Valentine's day. What about Garcia Hotspur and Paula from Shadows of the Damned? He traversed hell for her despite her having a previous affair with a devil.

How about Dante and Beatrice from Dante's inferno? Dante also went through hell and faced off against Lucifer himself.

These guys definitely carried quite the burden for love.

SuperSonic912311d ago

Uncharted 2 is still a masterpiece in storytelling of love triangles.
Nate, Elena, Chloe and Harry Flynn.
WoW!
Unbeatable!

bluefox7552311d ago

That would be a love square. Though Flynn wasn't REALLY part of it, so triangle would still be apt.

DefenderOfDoom22311d ago

15 pages ??? ZERGNET websites are the circus freakshow of the Internet .
