News from the front lines

Zoey or Lara… rebooted!

Posted by spiii on March 30th, 2013 @ 20:52

This Zoey or <heroine> review series began withTomb Raider: Anniversary (see Zoey or Lara…?).
Now we’re going back to our roots to discover if the Tomb Raider reboot is everything you’ve wanted in a cinematic campaign. (Answer: it is!)

Weapon of choice
Lara with her bow
The silent killer (yep, it’s a bow—it’s awesome)
Zoey posed with pistols outs
L4D2 gives Zoey melee weapons, but she still loves pistols
Fashionable upgrades
Lara's hair
finally a good use for GPU physics: hair by TRESSFX
Zoey in KISS skin
mods give Zoey an all new look (and many more)
Looks better wet
Lara hiding in a pool of blood
Lara submerged in blood
Zoey caught by a boomer
Zoey covered in goop
Xbox merchandising
Tomb Raider Xbox controller
Limited edition controller (realistic battle damage!)
Modified Xbox with L4D decals
You’ll have to make your own

So is Tomb Raider worth your dosh? (What is dosh anyway?) If being able to tell your mates “yeah, I got lost on an island with other survivors and I wasn’t watching TV” is as important to you as it is to me, then yes.

In truth, this is one of the best cinematic, story driven single-player games I’ve ever played (if not THE best). If you like that type of game experience, you’ll love this. (It’s got multiplayer but I haven’t tried that.)

A former fan of wet t-shirts was offended in the writing of this post.

How portal should have ended…?

Epic Fumble!

Posted by spiii on March 10th, 2013 @ 02:05

Epic Fumble achievement from Tomb Raider

Epic Fumble is an achievement in Tomb Raider.
(Why is it never Epic Spiii or Epic <INSERT CLAN MEMBER NAME HERE>?)

Should you be playing the new Tomb Raider? Depends on whether you like Zoey or Lara amirite? There is multiplayer in this Tomb Raider though…

When it’s ready

I’ll admit to being a little hyped for Cyberpunk 2077. That’s some nice eye candy!

Love the work CD Projekt Red do—they delivered big time with Witcher 2 and gog.com.

You know you’ve been missing TF2 when…

Running commentary

  1. I also used up my quota on Game of Thrones (curse those iTunes HD 2GB downloads!)

    btw, is this game out of beta now?

  2. I spent my monies kickstarting the Veronica Mars movie… roll on 30 April!

  3. installed…

  4. heard anything back about this beta?

  5. I’m still setting up ~:)

  6. we should totally celebrate SNAPocalypse and R18+ with this http://games.on.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=240&t=190765

  7. This game could also be pretty fun at a lan! It doesn’t sport a true co-op mode, but decent a stopwatch will solve that problem!

  8. I wish there was a code for jimmy jenkins!

  9. Here’s the link: http://www.gearboxsoftware.com/community/articles/970/borderlands-2-golden-keys-incoming

  10. Not sure, probably an Xbox thing. More shift codes incoming this weekend, check Twitter
