To be honest, I was so absorbed by one of the most exciting FPS multiplayer experiences I’ve had in a long time, the graphics weren’t even on my critical radar. The Battle Points system is going to be a huge success and it looks like the rest of the multiplayer will have the chops to get gamers to welcome a new online contender. The resistance starts March 2011."
Alex & Mike talk Biomutant, a game from Experiment 101/THQ Nordiq you likely have not heard of. While the AAA side of the industry tends to homogenization and imitative, cinematic presentation, “AA” games remain creative and innovative in 2021. Drawing on inspirations as varied as Dark Souls, third person shooters & kung fu cinema, Biomutant is Ratchet & Clank on acid, developed by a team of 20 people.

Remember THQ? They published such games as Avatar: The Last Airbender, Darksiders I & II, the Destroy All Humans series, Homefront, the Red Faction series, and Saint's Row 1-3. Almost as famous as their games were the THQ marketing stunts, including a Golden Wii.
