They're going to have to glue you back together... IN HELL!
The astoundingly successful charity drive led by WiNGSPANTT of Top Tier Tactics, which will culminate on August 31st with the destruction of 13 of the ultra-rare Golden Wrenches given out during the Team Fortress 2 Engineer update, has closed it’s donations counter at an amazing $30,179.41 for children’s charity Child’s Play.
A little late to the game, I know. But on the 31st of August, a total of 13 out of the 100 Golden Wrenches that were given out during the Team Fortress 2 Engineer update will be deleted for Child’s Play, including the one currently sitting in my backpack.
Everything that really needs to be said has already been said by WiNG over on the Golden Charity page on Top Tier Tactics, all I can say is you have about a day left to donate to the cause that has raised over $30,000 for an awesome charity, and you totally should.
If you are a PC gamer, you will probably use Steam, Valve’s digital distribution platform which is kinda known for occasionally having insane sales. Well, One such sale has recently ended. As well as reducing near everything in the Steam store, if you checked back every day you could get your hands on some even further reduced games. And that I did, here’s what I bought and what I think of them so far.
FUEL was my first purchase, at around £5. I’d read the hype that was happening before it’s release, with it’s ridiculously huge open world and the like, but for me the game was a let down. After banging my head against the wall whilst the necessary Games for Windows Live installed and updated itself (Closing the game around 4 times in the process, I mean, what the hell GFWL, why would you do that?), I leapt into the game. Well, no I didn’t, because I needed to adjust the graphics options, which you can’t do ingame. Sigh. Another restart of the game later and FINALLY I can start playing. And.. well.. I really didn’t like it. The actual racing felt clunky and rigid and the way of accessing races, whilst probably the best way to do it with such a large world, took you out of the game. Ditching races for the moment I decided just to explore, and whilst my surroundings looked nice, everywhere felt kinda samey.. Even climbing to some of the game’s Vista points just got me to see the same stuff in a prettier way. Having said that, the weather and light cycles were really enjoyable. Driving along a clifftop path whilst the sun is setting was the most fun I had in the game. What really killed it for me though is the poor GPS, if you’re going to have a game hyped up because of it’s huge gameworld, you might want to make sure it’s usable.
We asked writers, contributors and friends of MOREtotheGAME to write an article detailing a game they think everyone should play before they die, and why. These are what happened…
As part of GeneShark’s GTPBYD feature I’ve decided that I’ll suggest Mass Effect, a game for the XBOX 360 and PC created by BioWare. The main concept of this game is that it is a space exploration RPG with some shooter elements. You play as Shepard, who is a commander of a ship who is also completely unique depending on who plays him or her. For Shepard can be a boy or girl. Shepard can be old or young. And Shepard can look like whatever you want him to, although only if it falls within the 10 face shapes and 12 eye types etc.
At last year’s Eurogamer expo, there was a lovely selection of Indie games available for playing and we spent a good amount of time there over the rest of the expo, we’re all interested in indie games, and the lines were small to nonexistant compared to the main game rooms, so we played an awful lot of the games available.
One of which, was VVVVVV, and quite frankly… it was awesome. Addictive and challenging gameplay, delicious retro-style graphics and some great chiptunes to boot.
Will you be attending this October MCM Expo?
