ZeroTolerance writes: The Saboteur is one of the most interesting stories in gaming this year. I am not necessarily referring to the actual story of the game itself though as much as its transition up to its release. Pandemic Studios, the company most notably known for titles such as Mercenaries and Battlefront series, are at the helm of this latest open-world extravaganza. This is also their last game they will ever create as the team was released before it even hit shelves. Then we have the fiasco of downloadable nude codes and The Saboteur is ripe for failure at every turn. Still once you sit down with the game you will quickly discover that underneath its rough exterior is a game that is chock full of fresh and entertaining ideas, and will reward anyone with enough patience to get past its shortcomings.
This is a nice collection of classic. EA has opened its vaults and released a series of classic PC games to Steam for the first time ever.
f you haven't already, consider getting 8-Bit Armies or the new 9-Bit Armies. They're made by some of the same folks from the older C&C, with very similar mechanics; it's just the aesthetics that are completely different.
C&C Red Alert 3 and The Saboteur were two different yet completely unforgettable games to me from a better era of EA.
GF365: "Here are our picks for the ten most underrated third-person shooters that you might not have played before or even known about."
Actually great list TBH I agree with all 10
I hope one day we get some remakes for the following
The saboteur(with a proper remake and quality of life features this game could be great)
Scarface world is yours
Binary domain ( such a great game with great story)
GUN(this needs a remake)
Space marine 40k(such fun time)
Would also like to suggest adding the mercenary series even the 2nd game which is disliked by many is a fun time
I recently finished Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine and found it to be very enjoyable.
The game respected the lore and the gameplay was quite decent.
The color palette was a bit underwhelming (backdrops and setting) and recycled but I think that it deserved better.
Here's hoping for an amazing sequel
EA announced they will be bringing 7 games to the Nintendo Switch over the next 12 months. Here are our 5 picks of what they should include.
i'm expecting this for Christmas *cough*
good review, the cons don't seem to deter me from wanting to play it
it's mostly the art style that drew me to this. it's a shame that the stealth isn't great, but i wasn't expecting the greatest stealth came evar (MGS)
It´s a good game. I´ve been playing it for a couple of days now. It´s fun to mess with the nazis, blowing up their sniper nests, tanks etc. But the mood of the game is also very good, the way the game uses colors really increase the tension in the game.
I bought it about two days ago and I'm glad I did even though I can't recommend it to everyone. It's hilariously shoddily put together, Shaun jumps by wriggling his feet and levitating a split second later. When you drop from a ledge and grab another below it Shaun suddenly stops falling for no reason and then a fraction of a second later brings his hands together to grab the ledge. He also climbs and vaults like he's warped into a reality in which time moves twice as fast.
Like I said though, I'm glad I bought it. If you're the kind of person who can overlook a ton of rough edges for the sake of a beautiful environment, great atmosphere and music and very fun gameplay (the shooting is incredibly fun for some reason I can't quite put my finger on. It just feels great to do) I think you'll like this game.
The only thing that really brings the game down for me is that it's too easy (and too often unavoidable) to remove the cool black and white look from an area and bring it into full colour. When it's full colour it just feels like a regular game (very much like the Godfather). The black and white style adds so much, I just wish they would keep it going for more of the game.
