The Drop
Ladies and gentlemen: freedom is at stake. But not to worry, because an unstoppable troop of bros has arrived on PS4 to protect it. It’s time for Broforce.
Command a variety of bros as you battle enemy soldiers, aliens, and even demons in this over-the-top, side-scrolling shooter. Unleash devastation across fully destructible levels with explosive weaponry and razor-sharp melee attacks. Be the bro you were meant to be.
If you’re not feeling bro-ish, have no fear — there’s a huge lineup of new games coming to PlayStation this week. The branching thriller Heavy Rain launches on PS4 alongside the gory and grotesque fighter Mortal Kombat XL.
"It’s time to suit up and join the Bros as the internationally acclaimed side-scrolling run ‘n’ gun extravaganza Broforce is out today as a boxed Standard and Deluxe Edition for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4.
Developed by Free Lives and published by Devolver Digital, the boxed Standard and Deluxe Editions will be created and distributed across European specialist retailers by U&I Entertainment." Free Lives and Devolver Digital.
Cultured Vultures: With 14 proper entries, we've gone to the trouble of ranking the Mortal Kombat games. Special Forces is clearly number one.
MK1 was impressive for its time, but it had little more than digitized actors and over-the-top ultra-violence to shine compared to the japanese competition. The gameplay was punchy but that's about it: the animations were super-stiff, jumps were all the same, and no combos kept it from standing shoulder to shoulder with a certain Street Fighter II.
The MK series really only grew to become a serious opponent among japanese fighting games with MK9 (or simply Mortal Kombat as it was called) on the PS3/Xbox 360. Its 2 sequels MK X/MK XL & MK 11/MK 11 Ultimate followed suit and, what can I say, it's pretty much awesome now. I for one especially like those guest characters they have in those games now. I never got to play as Freddy since I only have the base MK 9, but man I sure enjoyed playing as Leatherface and Jason in MK XL, just like I'm sure I'll have fun playing as Robocop and the Terminator once I grab MK 11 Ultimate.
This list is missing amageddon, the only entry with all characters. This list was made by a kid who was not around in the early days of MK
"Many video games catch not only great commercial attention but remarkable critical attention as well. We have seen games like Heavy Rain, The Last of Us Part II, and even entries in the Metal Gear series described as fantastic interactive experiences, even heralded in the same way as Hollywood's greatest films.
I would suggest that not only is this an unfair comparison but also a harmful one. Video games, by their very nature, are an intricately different medium and should be weighed against one another rather than another form of media," Phillip writes for GF365.
I think Hollywood films will becoming increasingly more like video games in the future, especially as the world embraces the "new normal" from the pandemic. It makes sense, as games like Spider-Man: Miles Morales showcase just how realistically we're reaching in graphical capabilities, as well as showcase extreme action sequences in spectacular ways. And as time goes by, it'll get easier and cheaper to produce such "art", as well as create new star "actors" that never age, never die, never complain, never gets involved in scandals, etc. Technology is amazing and we're only just getting a taste of what it'll eventually be.
No. For the money spent, a quality game provides far more entertainment value than a quality movie. Especially when looking at what is going on in the world, and how a studio can attempt to pilfer from consumers by charging 30 dollars for Mulan via streaming. Ridiculous. There is no comparison....games all day.
The game Alekhine's Gun looks really interesting. I think I may have to purchase this one. Heavy Rain will be purchased of course, I haven't beaten Beyond 2 Souls yet SMH. I know I'm ashamed hahaha. However, I am looking forward to add these 2 games to the collection as well.
