Late Gamer Plays God Of War
A Review From Hidai Moya
This is a good game, but it’s not without its frustrations. For a start it’s RPG upgrade system doesn’t belong here, it’s too overbearing for a linear game. I was also a bit annoyed by it’s not really open world deisgn that makes you revisit the same places over again, present convoluted barriers to prevent you from travelling, & a “when are we going to get to the fireworks factory” approach to Odin. It’s unquestionable success is in it’s orgasmically savage combat. Taking down giant ogres & trolls with a magical axe is so damn satisfying it’s a fresh new life blood gaming really needed. And even as someone who hasn’t played the previous GoW games the emotional evolution of Kratos with his son was very very palpable. Not exactly the GOTY game I thought it would be but for the combat alone I’m glad I played it. Grade B+
Chris’ Comic Book Corner: Uncanny X-Men #12
A Review From Christopher Franey
Every ending has a beginning…those are the opening words for this brand new issue and I have to say I’m looking forward to the ending, in a good way. Matthew Rosenberg has done it again with his part two of “This Is Forever.” We get to see the new adventures of Cyclops and Wolverine as they are the only X-Men left after the events of Age of X-Man. I like how each issue has opened with a black page with a word box, builds it up and helps give the narration more feel, kind of a bleak feeling in my opinion, which helps with this new era and story arc.
We get a moment of Scott and Logan talking after the fight from the previous issue as Logan is patching up Scott; little bit of humor, but then we get to see Scott blame himself for everything going south for Mutants and X-Men alike. Now I know this has riled some Cyclops fans, but I’m going to wait and see how Scott comes out of this arc, I mean he did just return from the dead so maybe he still is processing everything. Despite what Scott and Logan maybe going through from their returns, they know there are Mutants that need saving.
Now in this new rescue mission we see that Logan is the one who has made the plan, steal a O*N*E* (Office of National Emergency) suit and guard then break in…doesn’t sound too bad right? Well it quickly turns as the guard warns the others and the attack begins.
After that bit of role reversal we see Scott and Logan break in and be confronted by newer Sentinels, but the sad twist is this time they are Mutant piloted/powered, so they have to be careful when fighting them.
The two manage to set Strong Guy, Dani Moonstar, and Shan free from their Sentinel prisons. They also find out the Mutants have been infected with the Transmode Virus and experimented on. The O*N*E* facility is holding other Mutants and weaponizing them for who knows what (find out in later issues I’m sure). Two of the worst things we see from this is the Madrox Bombs and Havok being used as a power source, but at least we got Magik and Wolfsbane back and not infected too.
Sadly in the battle we see Strong Guy sacrifice himself to protect the others from a Madrox Bomb and Magik does not take kindly to this…but Scott and Logan both recognize that this is a hit, recover, and run mission at it’s best. They managed to teleport out and escape, just narrowly missing out on meeting the big bad, General Callahan.
I loved the way this issue read off and honestly this felt like the stakes mattered. We know the Mutants are at a low and worse off, they are far and few with many looking to take advantage of their plight. Salvador Larroca delivers great art and pages that give us the excitement of having our Merry Mutants backed in a corner. This issue reminded me of the Animated Series episodes when they broke in and tried to delete the files on Mutants, just the right vibe for X-Men. I’m looking forward to more from this arc and I can say the X-men are finally Uncanny again. I would recommend this issue and last then ask your local comic shop to hold the rest for you as well. I rate this issue 5 out of 5 Sentinels for sure, so as always read on and Excelsior!
