I see un-dead people. Why Resident Evil 6 is good for zombies

by Shane Willoughby - on Jan 20th 2012 at 9:52 pm (IST). This post has No Comments

God forgive me for saying this, but I’ve really grown to despise your everyday brain munching zombie. The omnipresent un-dead have become ominously un-cool. It wasn’t supposed to be this way mind you; zombies used to be awesome. A few years ago, zombies were a cool novelty, a refreshing faceless enemy who would moan and groan their way down insular corridors in virus infected mansions just waiting for the sawn-off salute of a well cocked shotgun to the cranium. Those were the days, eh? So what’s changed?

Remembering Gaming in 2011: Retroplayer’s Take

by Retroplayer - on Dec 30th 2011 at 7:43 pm (IST). This post has 2 Comments

My belly was full on turkey, stuffing, sprouts, and mead from the halls of Jorrvaskr in Skyrim. I slammed on the TV to be greeted by Waterworld starring Kevin Costner. I love Waterworld. Say what you will about it, but I think it’s first class entertainment. It stars Kevin Costner and Dennis Hopper for christ sake. I mean, I pretty much consider it Mad Max 4: Aqua Warrior. Prime source material for an open world game, may I add. So I’m sitting there enjoying my post-Christmas fallout and the phone rings. I have one of those red phones like Batman had in the old 60s TV show. It glows red. It makes me feel extremely important. I answer it and it’s Joseph and Shane. They rarely talk to me seeing as they live in the high rise TGL building while I’m segregated to the basement. The TGL skyscraper is a thing of beauty, I must say. Remember the scene in Back to the Future 2 where Marty and the Doc stumble into the alternative 1985? You know, the one with the huge building owned by Biff Tannen. It’s like that but instead of Biffs face on the front it’s Joe and Shane’s. So here they are calling me. Something must be up, I thought. Why are the big wigs calling me? They explained they wanted my thoughts on 2011 in the gaming world. “I’ll see what I can do”, I remarked, “I’m a pretty busy guy” I said as I flipped through my empty, dusty Extreme Ghostbusters calendar (circa 1999).

Remembering Gaming in 2011: Joe’s Take

Articles like this can be quite hard to pen sometimes. Removed is the traditional sense of “here’s your news”, and “read this”, intsead there’s a thick crust of real personality and gibberish to digest – all of which doesn’t flow as easy as you might think.
