GDN - I remember when I was a boy that there was nothing I liked better than going to the arcade. With just a couple dollars worth of quarters in my pocket and a Slim-Jim in my hand, I was set for an afternoon of fun. Walking through the door and hearing all the beeps and boops, I could barely contain my excitement. I immediately sprinted past Mortal Kombat, Primal Rage, and Cruising USA. The first game on my list was always Area 51. There was something about holding the toy gun and blowing the alien scum to bits. It was the first experience that I remember where I wasn’t just controlling a character on a screen, but I was the character.
Propaganda. It's that thing that's all around us and is probably bad for you, but no one gives a shit, except for one man because he's all out of gum: [audience laughs]. Okay, that probably wasn't a John Oliver-worthy opening, but propaganda in video games is real and has influenced many a game since the inception of the industry itself.
Hardcore Games - So you come from work or school. You’re tired, exhausted, and want to relax with a good game. So you figure, “Hey, why don’t I buy Heavy Fire: Afghanistan? It’s only five bucks.”
In the dusty, undeveloped wastelands of Western Mudos, cantankerous townsfolk find their settlements besieged by belligerent outlaws. Along comes Stranger, a tall, dark and enigmatic bounty hunter with a critter-firing crossbow. First released in 2005, Stranger’s Wrath has been passionately upgraded in HD and is coming to the PS Vita this week.
Enjoy this week The Drop.
I can't wait for OddWorld: Stranger's Wrath. Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed is a retail purchase.
I also think we will see Batman: Arkham Asylum free on plus soon in North America.
" The game will be available as part of the “Instant Game Collection” from November 20th until December 31st."

I post that, because I don't expect anything new before or after the 31st of December.
