Jim Sterling writes: "When creating a videogame protagonist with a particular super power, there's an extra responsibility to create a challenging, rewarding sense of balance. If your hero has enhanced strength and speed, how do you keep enemy opponents threatening without undermining the player's advantages? If your character cannot die, what elements can be introduced in order to maintain a believable conflict?
NeverDead is a game that does not ask these questions. In fact, it uses the invincibility of its protagonist as an excuse to cut corners and ignore even the most basic factors of game balance. After sitting through the end credits of NeverDead, I am proud to say I did something that developer Rebellion did not do ...
I finished the game."
Immortality is a concept rare in most video games as it changes the basic mechanic of dying which is important for the majority of action, adventure and shooter games. But there are games that manage to geniusly incorporate immortality in their protagonists, antagonists, and main characters. So here are 13 Video Game Characters That Are Immortal.
My last paycheck was $2500 for working 12 hours a week online. My sisters friend has been averaging 8k for months now and she works about 30 hours a week. I can't believe how easy it was once I tried it out. The potential with this is endless. This is what I do >> http://tiny.cc/ww3opy
They're all immortal it's video games and if they die get reincarnated many times over lmao..

It’s no secret that half the fun of the imminently destructive Just Cause 3 is spying a location in the distance and using whatever means necessary to get there, whether it be paragliding, skydiving in a wingsuit, or hijacking a military jet with the help of an absurdly competent grappling hook. But before Just Cause 3 spurred the creation of a thousand hilarious gifs, the world of gaming had plenty of odd ways to get around. These are the weirdest means of traversal gaming has to offer.
Den of Geek takes a look at some of the biggest and most unexpected disappointments in gaming throughout the current console generation. Here are the 25 most disappointing games of this generation.
I think Haze has to be the most dissapointing game of the generation. You have to remember the level of hype it was generating, you have to remember it was helmed by Free Radical of Timesplitters fame, you have to remember the PS3/360 flame wars. Not only did Haze bomb so badly, but it took down Free Radical with it.
Some games on that list however are not disappointments in teh same sense. For example, There wasn't anything really dissapointing about Rage, I absolutely loved the game. It was just abit short, in a few regards.
In my opinion The Bureau: XCOM Declassified, should be up there with Aliens Colonial Marines and Duke Nukem as one of the most disappointing games of the generation. It was a fail on so many different levels, and was not at all an XCOM game.
Sonic 2006 was one of the best games i have played this gen. Yes it has some glitches and there is a bit too much loading but the game in my opinion was fantastic.
Pretty much disagree entirely with the review. NeverDead has been a highlight for me... having said that, I can see why some people may not like it.
"It's a novel concept for a videogame..."
What? Immortality and/or the usage of detachables limbs?
Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver, Medievil 2?
Those mechanics weren't very explored but still...
PS: Is Neverdead really that bad? Then again Sterling already gave us quite a few crappy reviews... I am really looking forward to try this one out.
I was very close to buying this game today...something just said, no save £40.
Since this is Destructoid the game is probably a 7 or 8.
He gave Deadly Premonition a 10/10
