Jesse Salazar reports:
''Let's get this out of the way: I have never played the original Bionic Commando. Though I own a plethora of NES titles, I don't seem to own any with that title. Keeping that in mind, if I had to judge the original based on the new Bionic Commando Rearmed, I would have to say that my childhood missed the opportunity to play a fun, yet challenging, title.
When a superior commando named "Super Joe" gets captured by "Nazis", the USA sends in a "rad" commando named Radd, whom possesses a bionic arm that allows him to grapple to walls, collect dropped items from enemies, and even lift objects from the ground to throw at said enemy. That all sounds peachy until you realize that Mr. Radd has forgotten something would be particularly useful to a US commando: the ability to jump. Everyone else in his world can jump and skip off platforms as they please, but the protagonist has to rely on his bio-arm to get around. Now in the sense of the "world," that seems idiotic, however in the scope of the gameplay itself the tradeoff pays off quite well. It challenges the players to think outside of the box and figure out how to get around.''
The Humble Capcom Heroic Collection Bundle just launched recently. It has ten items including Monster Hunter Rise, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy, Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection, and more.
I took advantage of the $1 deal for lost planet 3, strider, bionic commando and mega man. 3 of them run great on my steam deck. bionic commando sadly does not.
ive left humble bundle long time ago the pricimng is now off as well as game collection. humble monthly used to be excellent but thasts also downhill
"On this week's episode of The 1099 Podcast, the composer at 10 Chambers, former audio director at Starbreeze, and man behind the sound design in favorites like Payday 2, Bionic Commando Rearmed, and Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, Simon Viklund, joins host Josiah Renaudin to explain how sound gets into games. Simon details what it's like creating both music and sounds for major video games, how aspiring designers can break into the industry, whether or not you have to capture all of your own original sounds, and what makes upcoming co-op shooter GTFO special."
Neil writes: "Whilst many out there will be hotly anticipating jumping on a plane and heading off for a summer break, even more will just be happy to kick back with a controller in hand, seeing out the summer with some hot and sweaty gaming sessions. And what better way to enjoy the delights of the summer sun than by picking up a new game or two at discounted prices.
