Graphically, Smooth Operators manages to mix the slightly pixelated with the mildly lifelike to create an art style that manages to feel somewhat retro while also making an environment that should feel familiar to anyone playing. The soundtrack meanwhile sits in the background and sets a relaxing tone to the game that allows the player to focus on the gameplay itself.
After 7 long years it has finally happened. Fallout 4 has arrived! The crew jumps on it like radroaches on irradiated toast. Does it live up to the years of expectation? Is a post apocalyptic Boston a good setting? Can you shoot without using VATS!? Oh, and now everyone on the podcast has an Xbox One so they talk about that but… FALLOUT 4!!!
SteamFirst:Right up front, I will tell you: my day job, the one that many of you have advised that I should not to quit, is working at a call center. While working there, I have been both on the front lines taking the calls and in leadership positions. I would say that I have a pretty good handle on how they work. Thus, it was with tongue firmly planted in cheek that I pulled Andreas Heydeck’s Smooth Operators: Call Center Chaos out of our review backlog and said “I am going to review the crap out of this.”
John Bedford (Modojo): Five great games you can enjoy for less this Columbus Day.
