Too bad almost all of them will end up in the lava bin by the time we’re done.
The castle is full of lumbering monsters.
meter starts filling up.

Some of it even takes place in bright sunlight, warning you to stay in the shade.
What does self even mean?
But arguably its Amnesia that has the standout sections you’re able to never forget.

Namely, that any form of extremism going unchecked is detrimental to a functioning society.
Hahaha, now who’s being corrupted by power?!
Wait… this is what you’ve been trying to teach me all along isn’t it, BioShock?

Seeing that loading window was surprisingly like looking at an old school photo.
There’s Garrus, and Tali, and Thane, and Legion.
And, because no one gets along with everyone in school, there’s Jacob.

It was a reunion.
Back in 2010, its in-game cutscenes and cinematics were just about the best out there.
But those things aren’t why you should play Mass Effect 2 today.

I think everyone should play it at least once.
But let’s face it.
Jumping is soooo 2009.

Or just “Veeeeeeeeeeeeeee”?
It’s also an important lesson in the art of checkpointing.
Neither should its toe-tapping soundtrack for that matter.

Or its Sad Elephant.
Every game needs its own Sad Elephant.
People of the future, I hope you still have Nexus Mods.

And yet, despite being a technical disasterclass, New Vegas is worth both preserving and persevering with.
That you could, this being New Vegas, win by talking smart.
How many players can smush into a lobby?

At first it was 64, now its 128.
A Battlefield 2077 set in Night City no, a cyberpunkuniverse.
It has 256 player lobbies; cyborgs with laser eyes; Levolution Plus!
Tremors can be felt in other players lobbies.
They exist simultaneously, you see.
Battlefield Bad Company 2 keeps things simple.
Not that previous entries hadnt, its just that BC2 gets it so right.
The dark forests of Nelson Bay funnel you into desperate pushes over mounds of snow.
Valparaiso sees you snake across the coast, tearing through towns and dipping back into jungle.
Harvest Day has you chew through quaint homes with RPGs.
One that was intimate and funny, with destruction that actually felt destructive.
Those smaller maps made smashing through brick all the more intense.
Not to mention that it had a decent single-player campaign.
I hope that one day DICE pries open this cold casket and sees BC2 as their next step forwards.
Some highlights: the guns are bad, it looks ugly, and its anti-heroes are just arseholes.
The starting weapons suck.
Wonderful, though sadly undercut by getting good guns towards the end.
The look holds up strong.
It sets out to be aggressively ugly and nails it.
It’s unpleasant overall.
Like, really unpleasant.
A terrible story about terrible people doing terrible things and suffering terrible things.
you could play the campaign with a pal in cooperative multiplayer.
World At War kicked it off, but Black Ops 1 is where the mode really took shape.
Black Ops 2 tried its best to retain that formula, and then things got messy.
In recent years, poorly designed maps, endless gimmicks, and increasingly-convoluted puzzles have plagued COD zombies.
So, here I am saying it again.
Black Ops 1 was the peak of zombies, and I miss it dearly.
Of course, Black Ops 1 had plenty of other lovely bits that deserve a mention.
THE NUMBERS, MASON.
Whenever I speak about Call Of Duty, I always wish it could recapture the magic.
