An overall score of 85 ain’t bad if we’re talking games like Fallout 4 or maybe Modern Warefare, but South Park The Stick of Truth is a masterpiece, Hi-Fi Rush fan of the show or not. It’s one of the best of its genre – something that is on the level of games like Skyrim, Mass Effect 2 and Witche
As for the party management portion of the game, Bug Fables is pretty light when it comes to managing equipment and skills. Instead of individual levels, your entire team levels up as one unit. When you gain enough XP, you can then choose to upgrade your health, your Team Points (which is your MP), or give yourself more Medal Points so you can equip more medals. Medals are your main pieces of equipment as there’s no armor or weapons to worry about. These can give you buffs, status ailment resistances, or in some cases, even allow you to use new moves. The RPG mechanics aren’t very complex, but it leads to a streamlined experience that still forces you to strategize, as you can only equip a limited number of medals and carry a limited number of healing it
Some may not even realize this, but it’s possible to play through Fable 2 in local co-op. The second player takes on the role of a henchman, and they can transfer any gold or items they earn into their own saved game. Admittedly, Fable 2 ‘s local co-op mode does feel a little tacked on, and it doesn’t really enhance the main game much, but it’s great for just messing around and wreaking havoc across Albion with a fri
Bug Fables has a lot of side quests you can take on for extra money, medals, or items, but it doesn’t have an efficient way of tracking them. When you accept a side quest from the various mission boards, you sometimes have to talk to the NPC to start them. Except once you speak with them and they tell you where to go, the side quest doesn’t update in your logbook and it doesn’t appear on your map. So, if you happened to decide to save a side quest for later or turn the game off, it’s easy to forget where you were supposed to go. This means that you might have to wander around until you find the missing NPC, which seems like something that could have been avoided by placing some markers on your
The official E3 2019 Twitter account recently confirmed that the writers and producers of The Simpsons will be hosting an E3 coliseum panel, naturally leading to speculation that a new Simpsons game will be revealed . Indeed, it’s hard to imagine what else this panel could be for, but until there is actual confirmation, this should be taken with a grain of salt (which goes for many of the games on this list as we

2004’s Driv3r , the third release in an action-packed open-world driving series which originated on the PS1, was a barely-functioning mess which somehow garnered a cult appeal despite its many shortcomings. An obvious riff on the Grand Theft Auto formula, Driv3r felt like the Fisher-Price version of the chaotically-fun sandbox ser
Here’s a fun bit of information – did you know that modders have continued to support Madden 08 for ten years after it was created? While this is no doubt an impressive feat, it has been done on PC before; but why would a game like Madden 08 receive this same treatm
Another title likely to appear at Ubisoft’s press conference is Watch Dogs Legion , with rumors also alleging that Watch Dogs 3 will be set in London and release later this year . Leaks have also indicated that there will be no lethal combat and that players will be taking on the role of a counter-terrorist operative named Sarah. Of course, this could all be the workings of the internet, so until Ubisoft shows its hand, players are left wait
If the rumors are to be believed, Fable 4 is exactly the kind of game that the Xbox One should’ve had in droves; an expansive and innovational RPG that takes the ideas behind the original trilogy and uses them to create a truly next-gen experience. Better yet, it’s also proof that Xbox wants to create long-lasting and investable franchises that, much like PlayStation has done with God of War , can alter and evolve with the ti

The Arkham series started off on a strong note with Batman: Arkham Asylum . This game toyed with the idea of an open-world formula, before its sequel ended up going all out with this conc
Whenever it comes to fun local co-op game options, it’s never a bad idea to check out Minecraft . Minecraft allows for up to four players to play together in split-screen, giving them complete freedom to explore, build, fight monsters, and more. When players really get into thoroughly exploring their Minecraft world, the game becomes impossible to put down, giving players countless hours of genuine entertainment with frie

The Mafia trilogy is easily one of the best story-driven, open-world trilogies of all time. While opinions may be mixed on Mafia 3 , most people absolutely adore Mafia 1 and 2 for good rea
