DarkZero writes: "It's groundbreaking! Ever since I sat down to write this review I've being wondering how I could possible shoehorn that pun in. However, the more I think about it, the more I realise there is no way I can truly describe Fracture as any kind of landmark achievement in the genre. In fact, almost every idea in the game is rather stale, and everything else is more or less a pale imitation of what was seen in its peers.
There is however that terrain deformation gimmick, which is the big selling point. This is supposed to give you the option to alter any part of the environment at your whim. Hypothetically, this will give you the freedom to tackle battles just the way you want, allowing you to make your own cover and get uber-creative with your gunplay. Initially this deformation based gameplay looks kind of cool, and most people should get a bit of a buzz at seeing the ground oscillate at their command at first. However, as you go on you'll be hit by a huge amount of limitations which end up being dramatically detrimental the the enjoyment of the game. In fact, it kills the fun factor stone dead!"
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.
