Though four years may have passed since its release on PS3, Max Payne the Third can still shoot it out with the best of them and the titular hero does so in the sort of relentlessly entertaining, teeth-grindingly intense way that only he can offer. The individual ingredients of an idyllic island paradise gone wrong, a particularly healthy supply of vicious wildlife, a highly entertaining baddie in Vaas, and an arsenal of weaponry, vehicles, and gadgets made for an open world soup full of flavorful action and seasoned with gleeful chaos. Thankfully, Far Cry 3 restored color and fun to the series.

One of the biggest crimes in gaming is that there isn’t already a sequel to it.Īlmost all of the promise of Far Cry’s setup was thrown out of a window in Far Cry 2, a largely unmemorable parade of mud, fire, and malaria. As for the game itself? A delightfully visceral throwback shooter that gives you a toybox of pleasing novelty guns and encourages you to experiment with them to rack up combos like a particularly violent edition of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater. He’s gaming’s Kurt Russell, and he’s marvellous. A flawed classic, but a classic all the same.īulletstorm’s protagonist, Grayson Hunt, is a drunkard, disgraced soldier among the stars that solves his problems by doing things like launching an entire spaceship at a bigger spaceship and scuppering both whilst he grumbles out another cheesy one-liner. The wastes of Washington made for an incredible journey once you got into it, and there’s an abundance of little moments that are just for you, and you alone. Bethesda created a post-apocalyptic wasteland that actually felt like one should, and gave it bags of personality and vibrancy even though its palette is almost entirely dreary, sickening greens. Ni No Kuni is a lovely little gem of a game.ĭespite all the potential stumbling blocks ( and let’s face it, there were plenty on the PS3 version), it’s a testament to the character and world-building of the mammoth RPG known as Fallout 3 that it even manages to feature here at all. A touching, fantastical and heartbreaking story is told of the young boy Oliver’s adventures in a magical kingdom, and the characters he meets are as endearing as they are daft. Ni No Kuni proved that the it could be done not just on paper, but in reality too. Looking back, an JRPG collaboration between Level 5 ( Dragon Quest) and acclaimed Japanese animators Studio Ghibli seems a perfect fit. Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch (2013)
