What were the last video games you played?

Look forward to the other Walking Dead game based on the TV series which is also due out later this year.

No you arent. If you are you havent seen anything about the game. The one thing I can say about it is that Im sure its gameplay will be better than Telltale's TWD gameplay.

When they say the game is based on the comic book, I think they mean it is simply based off the Walking Dead universe.

Eh, I can see that, still see it as a little misleading though.

And I wonder how far ahead they're going to jump ahead for season 2. Since they confirmed your save file is going to carry over to season 2, it's probably not going to be a whole new story, but rather continue where season 1 ended. I can certainly see a female protagonist this time around, but I don't think it'll be Clementine unless they fast forward a few years when she's older, possibly Christi if that was her and Omid on the hill in that last cut scene, and we still don't know what happened to Kenny... I think it's going to be whoever was on that hill and spotted Clementine, if it's Christi and Omid or not. I didn't see one of them limping so it might not be Christi and Omid after all, but a completely different couple with one of them being the season 2 protagonist.

As is the whole choice thing, but we already went over that.

No, I haven't seen anything because I can't find anything on it. The only thing I saw was the dinky trailer which had no gameplay in it and that it's an FPS and Daryl is the protagonist. Unless there's been more info and gameplay released that I'm not aware of, it doesn't sound too bad so far.

Watched some more gameplay videos, it doesn't look THAT bad, but it didn't look too great either.

It was shown on some IGN feature or something a few weeks back and it looks terrible. Ill try and find a link when I get out of the shower.

I'm watching some gameplay videos now on YT, it does look pretty bad, but damn, it sounded promising. Stupid Activision wanting to make a quick cash grab, big name FPS and ruining what could have been a good idea.

It's alpha/fan-made footage or something. It's not real.

The trailer was fan made using the footage that was shown on that IGN show thing.

Anarchy Reigns

Will do a full review a bit down the line, but for now:

The single player, funnily enough, might as well be Madworld 2. That sucks, because I didn't like Madworld, and a lot of the same problems are carried over. The campaign is short, but requires you to replay missions to get an arbitrary number of points to play more missions. It's unsatisfying and anticlimatic, and if you want every character without getting an obscene multiplayer rank, you have to play it twice over. Not recommended for solo artists.

The multiplayer is great, though. Pretty much brings Power Stone and a bit of Smash Bros. into the full 3D space. Wide variety of characters, hectic combat, a decent amount of depth balanced with a control scheme which is easy to get into, and a variety of modes. Netcode's solid, too. At half price, it's an easy deal if you're into unconventional multiplayer.

EDIT: So here's a review of Anarchy Reigns.

Spyro 2

Not quite as good as the first game, but still great. The extended scale helped amplify the satisfaction and scale of the collectionist aspect, which is more prevalent in this franchise than it was in Crash Bandicoot. The extra variety has its own focus, but also leads to some frustrating portions of the game. Had talismans been swapped for the more flexible orbs for the entire game instead of just the last third, it might have made things a lot smoother. But still a great game, and worth paying seven or so dollars.

Also found out that the franchise had its music done by, of all people, Stewart Copeland of The Police. I've always liked the more modernised soundtrack compared to its peers, but Spyro 2 adds just enough bombast to make it even greater.
