As we grew closer to Homefront’s release, THQ began to talk some big game about the title. They were promising a game that could not only rival Call of Duty, but also deliver a emotional story on a level that we hadn’t seen much of before. Sadly, Liam doesn’t think the game delivered on any of these promises. Read his review to see why.
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.
Jack writes: "Back in March 2011, the first-person action shooter Homefront arrived on the Xbox 360 from THQ, along with a storm of publicity which included a really cool live-action trailer"
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.
What a disappointing title...
There's a reason this game is called "trashfront"
The single player is not fun at all, but I really like the mp!
