Where to start?

One of the greats from the C64. A step up from Last Ninja in terms of graphics and gameplay. The soundtrack is killer for the time. Still sad that System 3 never seemed to get close to releasing a Last Ninja 4


See also the movie Army of Darkness (Evil Dead 3) which predated Duke Nukem 3D by a few years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdkqagOUaPM


I thought it was a reference to the phrase ‘Suck my boomstick’ which I think came from Duke Nukem.


I just watched matrix 4, which gives me the same vibes as ME:A. Nice to revisit the universe but a lot of talk, busywork with no story and nothing new. The direct to video comment below seems apt.

Good setup, good engine, nicely rendered different worlds, not much going on. Like the matrix, could have been worthy in someone else’s hands.

However worth playing at budget price, just set expectations.

System Shock gets May 30 PC release date.
Fond memories of the original. Happy to see it might be finally out there.

Anyone have an opinion on these? I’ve played through the uncharted series, but haven’t made it through a modern TR game. The serious tone combined with the close up kills make it feel closer to the last of us, with Lara as a murder death kill machine. Can’t get into it.

I remember at the time there were was a thread about which was the better game between TLOU2 and Ghosts of Tsushima, with the majority going for GOT. Having played that one, personally not so sure…


Finally getting around to giving this a thrash. Enjoying it a lot - as a straight continuation it extends the first making use of the much improved hardware (algae in the water!) The death that kicked things off was well done I'm keen to see where things go.
