Like the previous game, it's nice (at least for a few hours) to play a 'back to basics' CoD like this, and feel the classic CoD vibes of 4 and MW2 again. It’s actually quite refreshing on this occasion to play an online shooter with small chaotic maps and a pacy respawn / die loop now that Battle Royales have taken over the world. The perfromance shown demonstrates that the i5 8400, and GTX 1070 remain more than capable parts in 2020.

A fascinating visit to the Museum of Soviet Arcade Games in Moscow!

In Soviet Russia...video games play you! I visited Moscow recently and just had to check out the Museum of Soviet Arcade machines. The exhibition is a fascinating insight into popular culture in the late Communist era, and all the games seek to promote the social realism state ideal. There's no cowboys and monsters here; only space related stuff, driving, ice hockey, war games, hunting, and titles based on traditional Russian games. Well worth a visit if you're in Moscow or St Petersburg! Read more about the museum and games on offer below:

It's nice (at least for a few hours) to play a 'back to basics' CoD like this, and feel the classic CoD vibes of 4 and MW2 again.

I've fond memories of both those games as they were my first experience of proper online gaming. However, the game is horrifically unoriginal overall; the online shooting world has long since moved on from this sort of stuff, and the setting makes we want a modern Battlefield even more.

Also, the attempt to introduce tactical considerations found in stuff like Rainbox Six and Battlefield is completely at odds with CoD's manic pace and mindless killstreaks. Why cautiously inch a door open, or set up a barricade if everyone is doing the usual CoD thing of running around like headless chickens as UAVs are activated continuously?

I lost count of the amount of times the team was blown to smithereens by a cruise missile while trying to capture a flag; most rounds feel like pure chaos with no ebb and flow to the battle.

The casual nature of proceedings and fight, die then respawn quick formula combined with very generous hitboxes means there are fleeting moments of fun to be found amidst the inanity.

There's no complaints with the moment to moment gunplay either (which is the least you'd expect), and the sound effects are really good.

Shadows of the Empire Ord Mantell gameplay at HD 1080p 60fps on N64

Nice bit of retro Star Wars action. This, Rogue Squadron and Episode 1 Racer meant the N64 had a tidy little trilogy of Star Wars titles covering a wide variety of genres.

After escaping the Empire's invasion of Hoth, Dodgy Geezer Dash Rendar is busy tracking down the bounty hunters dispatched to capture Han Solo. One of them; the infamous Assassin Droid IG-88 is on Ord Mantell repairing his  ship after an altercation with Boba Fett, and it is here that Dash must confront the latter to detemrine the location of the former. ________________________________

The Division 2 Gameplay and Impressions GTX 1070 | Washington Walkabout

Postives:

Glorious graphics and sound create an impressive setting and atmosphere

Potentially satisfying core gampelay loop of grind > level up > improve loadout / skills > repeat

Novel setting for an RPG

A deep, stat heavy RPG experience

Negatives:

A deep, stat heavy RPG experience which is explained and presented poorly

Clunky character animation

Cliched premise and story

Generic gameplay lacking in dynamism or variety

A segment of solo Tom Clancy's The Division 2 gameplay at max settings on PC. I take a leisurely single player stroll in the open world sunshine, from the Theatre settlement to the White House to see what's going on in the lawless streets. Played from a third-person perspective, the game takes place in Washington D.C. 7 months after its popular predecessor, in which a destructive conflict between survivors and villainous bands is on the verge of breaking out. ________________________________

Apex Legends GTX 1070 Frame Rate and Performance Test Gameplay.

How nice is this game?! I've not truly enjoyed the genre - until now. The premise is the same as other battle royales, drop into a map with nothing, tool up and fight to the death in an ever shrinking area, but the incorpation of heros (or legends!) with unique abilites makes it feel quite different, and not the only thing which sets it apart. In game respawns, no fall damage, slip sliding and rope gliding, meaty gunplay, the way everything is expertly designed to encourage teamplay and hassle free looting thanks to an intuitive ui and superb presentation. The revolutionary 'ping system' is impactful to the point that any other online squad shooter will be now be unplayable without it; the new 'z trigger' or weapon wheel. Respawn have made a game where playing as a squad is super satisfying even if your squad-mates don't have mics or speak the same language. Jason West and Vince Zapella - already legends in my eyes thanks to COD4 and MW2 have come up with a stunner. ________________________________

Playing the original Street Fighter for the first time, so cool to finally experience where such a special series began 🙏 Ropey as hell today, but plays like an advanced version of games like Kung Fu on NES. Loved that, so would have been all over this back then 👍 #streetfighter #retrogamers #retrogames #fightinggames https://www.instagram.com/p/BtWy3eShQmK/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=12tyxujt0gyi7

Resident Evil 2 Remake Demo Playthrough | GTX 1070 & i5 8400

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASqZFxAh7U8

Exciting, full of character, polished, dripping with atmosphere, a likable protagonist, mad graphics and tight controls; what more could you want? If it's as clever as the original in how Leon and Claire's stories interconnect while playing as them both then it's going to be great.
