Quick Critique: Dead Rising 4
I really like Dead Rising 1, but I like it despite its mechanics. The timers made the game tedious and took away exploration, leading survivors was a pain in the butt because the AI was pitiful and they were so weak, you were expected to start the game over and over again to build up stats, and it was chock full of inventory management and weapon degradation. So hearing that DR4 got rid of some of that, I was in. Also, it's a horror game set during Christmas. I'm... kind of super into that. I think I'm one of five people that genui...

Darn tootin', Misstery. Own that villainy! I'm saddened your fancy hair is fake, but you work that sinister sass, sister.

She politely starts talking down to Rico. "The system says here that you signed up in the past ...

Blue leans back in her chair, tapping her finger to her chin while she ponders. "You'd need to identify a number of Points all around the Universe. Surround uncharted space with them to even remotely narrow it down..."Rico excitedly hops like a child. "That's what all my facilities are for. Now that they have this information, they can propagate it out to the rest of...

MerSINaries
Our next Patron request this month comes to us from Ross Phillips, with a request to see the Mercs turn to the side of sin and evil rather than being ever so helpful as they naturally are.I like the idea that even evil, Mercy and Ruth are still just dorks.Thanks for the suggestion, Ross!

SPAce Case
Our next Patron request this month comes to us from DreamingEndless, with a request to see the Sins spend a relaxing day at the sinister spa from Mercynaries. I have never been to a spa but cartoons have taught me that it always involves cucumbers placed over your eyes, which sounds like you're just begging for Gluttony troubles.Thanks for the suggestion, Dreaming!The full resolution version of this week's bonus art is available for our Patrons!

Quick Critique: Guacamelee 2
I highly recommend playing Guacamelee 1 first, which is a-okay because it's one of my favorite PS3 games. The intro to G2 is a bit on the slow side but by the time you hit the first dungeon, things are popping off and the challenge rooms are right up there with the ones from the end of Guac 1. When Guacamlee decides to get difficult, it has an amazing ability to be teeth-grindingly frustrating while making you laugh and have fun at the same time. G1 had hard bonus rooms, but it was a fair hard because you can see what they're going for...

Sam is either entirely negligent in her duty or the best Merc in town.Either way, I'm sure we'll leave these two to have a magic-fueled binge through gambling towns, leaving a wake of magic and fly hunnies.
