Resident Evil 5
I was pretty disappointed by this one actually. The Resident Evil series is defined by 2 important attributes : survival horror and clunky controls. In RE5 they decided to remove
the “horror” part and make a straight action game but they kept the clunky controls. From a gameplay perspective RE5 is JUST a HD copy of RE4. The problem is that, while in RE4 the horror bits set up the atmosphere, RE5 looks like a shallow, broken (because of the controls) (HD) copy without those bits.
Wolverine
Over the top violence, silly storyline, great cut scenes and a lot of bugs. Did i mentioned the over the top violence ? Must try.
Velvet Assassin
A good old stealth game set in WW2 played from a 3rd person perspective.
Pros :
- the atmosphere is really great.
- graphics (really nice…especially the dark/light interplay).
- good stealth based gameplay ( i really missed this from the days of good old Thief)
Cons :
- use of firearms (the fact that you can use firearms and also the fact that aiming is a PITA )
- the last level can’t be played in stealth mode and the game simply turns into a crappy shooter.
- bad placement for checkpoints .
Conclusion : if you like stealth games then this is a must try.
