This is Vanquish! A top-down pixel art shooter where you play as either an Orc Warrior or a Gnome Magician which have both crashed onto a cursed island.
You all know what this is so let's not write an overwrought blurb and cut to the chase. It’s the Game of the Year 2017 as discussed and picked by the happysalad crew. There’s loads of games discussed with some level of enthusiasm but which will give rise to the most?
Don't cross a hungry wife. Don’t even look at them funny. And don’t for a second think that warm lettuce is going to make things better.
In this episode, Vanquish, Splatoon 2, heated exams, Sonic Forces, Factorio, Destiny 2, a tiny bit of eurovision, Heroes of the Storm, a smidgen of kitchen bitchin’, Golden Sun, Professor Layton, Mario and Luigi, and a lot more Zelda.
After deciding very quickly that we need to suck less, the gaming news flows forth.
Featuring Rob discussing Japan's answer to the cover shooter, Vanquish and the connection woes of Call of Duty: Black Ops. Zac drops the bomb on the similarities between Monday Night Combat and TF2, and unrealistic frontier realism MMO WURM Online. Dan continues the Rockstar patronage and goes zombie hunting in the wild west in Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare.
Lot of dates, as in years, mentioned this week too... Thought I’d have something funny to say about that. I don’t.
