BeefJack: "Soon, fatigue begins to creep in. The difficulty curve is achieved simply by spacing checkpoints increasingly farther apart (indeed, on Hard mode, checkpoints are eschewed altogether) and introducing enemies who simply block more. And rockets. Lots of rocket spam. There’s a distinct feeling that Shank could be doing a little more, that the bosses’ fixed-room locations and predictable patterns could have been more original, and that you’re not sure if you’re meant to be taking the game seriously."
In part two of Patched’s second episode the Player 2 boys talk about their recent gaming lives, provide updates on the fantasy draft and introduce the indie game of the month for April.
This week's Humble Weekly Bundle looks like a must-buy. You can pay what you want for Shank 2, Blocks That Matter, and BIT.TRIP RUNNER. Paying $6 or more gets you Runner 2, Fly'n, and Megabyte Punch. If you're willing to spend $10 or more, you can get King Arthur's Gold and Mark of the Ninja: Special Edition.
The newest Humble Weekly Sale just went live and it currently features three games from Klei Entertainment. For the next week, the Canadian studio’s three most well-known titles will be available for purchase at unbeatable prices.
I still haven't played the demo yet even though it's sitting on my PS3, but based upon the reviews it's getting I might just delete it without bothering.
