Ah, I didn't realize that Taco News was a running forum thing. As my post count to age might indicate, I don't really hang around here much. I mostly lurk in every couple weeks and check for new Garwulfs Corner, and hope for other new stuff. Having came onto the site back when Miracle of Sound...

This feels like a new low point for the Escapist. Its been over a month since the Escapist had actual gaming news, as opposed to just sponsored deals and repeats of old series. And then the first 'news' we get is... This? Disregarding being a bit tasteless, I like dark humor myself, its...

I got a bunch of the XCOM 2 loading screen propaganda images cycling randomly for my background.

Would probably be worth at least updating the lists to make them accurate. Game's had Natural Disasters for half a year, Atomic bulldoze has been replaced with a new version and the old one doesn't really work, same with the Dynamic Resolution mod. Traffic report and Isometric camera are...

Never played the first game, never even seen gameplay of it. Didn't really get hooked on the trailer at E3, looked alright. But this? Well, if they can pull off most of what they've listed here, they'd have my attention, and probably my purchase, if it all came together well.

The problem with completely unarmed horror, in my books, is that the enemies tend to be fairly stupid as a result. The player needs to be able to escape or hide or lose pursuit, which makes the enemies behave fairly passively, slowly, and rarely do they pose a threat anywhere other than point...

Wow this got political fast. Really, I'm just interested to see how they justify the usual Far Cry levels of wanton murder in the States. If we end up in a Far Cry set in some US civil unrest scenario, that'd be actually mildly interesting, controversial, and probably fairly fun to play...

I am absolutely happy with this decision. Paradox is a good, solid publisher. Combine that with the general quality and community minded action of HBS, and we've got a great pairing for this release.

Oh man I want this. I played Vanquish back in the day, loved the hell out of it, but haven't been able to find a copy since.

I'm hoping that dice will indeed address the issues of Battlefront 3 and make Battlefront 4 better, but A: Sorry EA, I got a Battlefront 2 in my library already and its great, and B: Doesn't matter how good your early showing is, I'm not preordering. If they happen to make a good game, I'll...

I'm mildly excited for this. Its been so long since the first Avatar movie that I don't really know how they feel they can pull four movies back to back outta it, but the universe is interesting enough that I'll play a game set in it. What worries me a bit is that basically its just good feels...

God I wish that'd happen. The Community made Diaspora game is pretty good, but to see Frontier develop a Battlestar game? I'd probably never stop playing it.

Eh, barring an absolutely trash PC port, I'll probably end up getting it launch week. I'm a sucker for Mass Effect like that. So long as they manage a few interesting characters alongside the protagonist (And that's at least one skill Bioware doesn't seem to have completely lost yet) I'll muddle...

I had a lot of fun with Call of Chernobyl a couple months back. Absolutely recommend it for anyone who has Pripyat, I had a grand time. Still haven't even explored half of it, and I probably sunk 15-20 hours into it. Most of that was Hunting Monolith for sport. I could probably just do that...

Bold words, Arkane. If you pull it off, you'll have my respect. But you might as well say "My gasoline won't catch fire", because PC's are volatile and finicky things.
