While Homefront hasn’t been doing the best review-wise, there’s still a good bit of buzz around it. And if the buzz isn’t enough, THQ are offering a free soundtrack just for being you.
Alex & Mike talk Biomutant, a game from Experiment 101/THQ Nordiq you likely have not heard of. While the AAA side of the industry tends to homogenization and imitative, cinematic presentation, “AA” games remain creative and innovative in 2021. Drawing on inspirations as varied as Dark Souls, third person shooters & kung fu cinema, Biomutant is Ratchet & Clank on acid, developed by a team of 20 people.
Jack writes: "Back in March 2011, the first-person action shooter Homefront arrived on the Xbox 360 from THQ, along with a storm of publicity which included a really cool live-action trailer"
Remember THQ? They published such games as Avatar: The Last Airbender, Darksiders I & II, the Destroy All Humans series, Homefront, the Red Faction series, and Saint's Row 1-3. Almost as famous as their games were the THQ marketing stunts, including a Golden Wii.
I'm always up for free music, espeically if it features DEP! The rest of the bands are a bit meh, but for free I'll check them out!
Good music.
Terrible game.
I love me some free stuff.
"THQ are offering a free ear-raping."
FTFY.
These covers are bloody awful.
They've taken some great songs and taken away the greatness and re-inserted all that angsty, screamy crap.
(Don't get me wrong, I can enjoy death metal and all that sort of stuff but this is the screaming crap where it falls short of sounding like death metal screams and instead sounds like a pre-pubescent boy's screams.)
Now, I need to go and listen to all those songs with the proper artists to clean my ears.
