''Walking into the LucasArts booth at E3 there is one game I am sure everyone hoped to see. I was given the chance to play it, and have a hands-on report of what is sure to be the biggest seller this year for the company: FRACTURE!
Alright, so maybe it isn't as big as The Force Unleashed, but I figured I would give the game a chance. I felt bad for it, sitting in the corner of the room, no one going near it, everyone crowding around its more popular brother. Plus, it doesn't look bad by any means; it just doesn't look Star Wars.
Fracture prides itself on contractible and destructible environments, being able to manipulate the terrain to your will for both puzzle-solving and combative reasons. Throughout the demo level I used it for both of these reasons, making impromptu cover from enemies and building platforms to get over walls. Sure, if the terrain deformation gun really let me bend the earth to my will I could just smash the wall with a spire, but that doesn't mean that it isn't cool to shoot a pillar of rock up the ass of an enemy.''
YouTube’s ‘John GodGames Emus’ has shared some video showing Jurassic: The Hunted, Chaotic: Shadow Warriors and Fracture running in the latest DirectX 12 version of the best Xbox 360 emulator, Xenia. These games came only on consoles and the first two titles appear to be playable in Xenia.
"ZL: The reception was less than underwhelming. Fracture is one of those games that has already been forgotten; “terrain deformation” failed to impress gamers, the struggle between the Pacificans and the Alliance (though I’m not sure who they’re aligned with) inspired no one, everyone hated the main character and the online servers are host to nothing more than tumbleweeds."
We're well into the first week of August, and the summer's hottest days could be just ahead. There's still a debate being waged over climate change policies proposed to help curb its effects, but in some video game that debate is over and the effects of climate change lead to a bleak future. We speak to Dr. David Robinson, New Jersey State Climatologist and Professor in the Department of Geography at Rutgers University, to find out if these video games' vision of a post climate change future holds more fact or fiction.
Wow. This is an incredible read.
I will be voting up the article and the site. Thank you for submitting this!
Well written, thought provoking and intelligent. Great job to Steven Wong.
