News::The More I Played Overwatch, The More I Liked It

The More I Played Overwatch, The More I Liked It

Blizzard's Overwatch is, in the grand scheme of shooters, kinda simple. Each character has one weapon, levels are straightforward, and movement speed feels like everybody is a giant moon ape—not just, you know, the giant moon ape. At first I wasn't impressed, but then I discovered how interesting its characters are.

He's no longer at the company (parting ways in early 2013), but before he left he made sure his name quite literally lives on inside the code of pretty much every PlayStation 4.

Misc. fixes

PS Vita

Leadboard replays (including fast forward feature)

Friend ghosts in Daily Challenge

News::Hidden Armada's Mutiny! voyage set to continue despite Kickstarter setback

Chris Mawson writes: "Indie developers Hidden Armada have pledged to continue work on their frantic pirate brawler, Mutiny!, despite the title falling well short of its £25,000 Kickstarter goal. With a plethora of indie titles being on display at this year's gaming expos up and down the country, the cartoony party game was one of the titles to capture our imaginations the most. We weren't alone, either, with Mutiny! receiving a lot of positive press coming out of EGX and Play Expo, as well as amassing over 150 backers for its Kickstarter campaign."

News::PES 2015 Review | The Average Gamer

Compared with last years effort, the football in PES 2015 is very much improved. Where last years players felt like they were running through treacle, this time there is much more freedom of movement, thankfully ending the all too common running into a brick wall syndrome of PES 2014 players. Passing flows much better also, so if thats your game then you can string together a range of passing that the Brazil side of 1970 would envy.

News::Mushroom 11 is the next great puzzle-platformer

Everyone I know who's tried Mushroom 11 won't shut up about how good it is. After clearing the first two levels today in a preview build, I'm joining them. 25 minutes well spent.

This is a puzzle-platformer unlike any I've seen before. You guide a green blob through a post-apocalyptic world -- up cliffs, through tunnels, over toxic sludge -- by erasing parts of it. Each time you click on the ooze, you'll trim its cells and fresh replacements will pop up somewhere else; do this enough and it'll start to move (though not always in the exact direction you want).

It's fun to aimlessly "push" the blob forward across the ruined world, but traversing obstacles requires careful planning, quick improvisation, or both. In one puzzle, I anchored the organism to the perimeter of a cave suspended above lava and chipped away at it in such a way that a makeshift limb stretched down and left toward solid ground without falling straight to its fiery doom.

A later section, a boss fight against a giant mutant spider, involved launching the blob off a seesaw and navigating up and around the creature's jabbing arms. Sequences like this are frenetic. You have to rapidly erase cells to maintain momentum but you can't overdo it; the blob won't rematerialize mid-air. Brute-force attempts at puzzle solving proved futile by the second level.

All that said, I'd recommend watching footage or, better yet, playing the game yourself next year on PC/Mac/Linux (pre-orders come with a preview). It's tough to convey what makes Mushroom 11 such a treat in text, but pick it up and you'll understand the appeal in seconds. Tell your friends.

News::Alien: Isolation and the Beauty of Hacking

Critically Sane: "I think its fair to say that most people have a love/hate relationship with technology. On the one hand having a computer and the internet in your pocket is fantastic. On the other, the internet in my pocket means I can never get away from work/the general rubbish that springs forth from the internet. Alien: Isolation stretches this relationship firmly into the hateful area. Wheres the bloody scrap of paper with the wifi code on it?! I yell at no one in particular. Not another bloody key card!, I imagine Amanda Ripley sighing in exasperation. Amanda, were not so different, you and I."
