WOLFENSTEIN: THE NEW ORDER

Took about 15 hours to complete on the very easy setting and it's designed to be played through at least twice.

There are a few extra game modes that you can unlock by exploring and collecting, Don't know much about them yet.

In the first mission you make a decision that creates two branching versions of the campaign - although I assume they are fairly similar.

overall it's good fun, running around shooting stuff without being forced on rails or to only carry two or three guns at a time.

A lot of areas allow you to sneak around and there are high value 'commander' targets that can call in reinforcements if you don't take them down early.

There's quite a lot of story crammed in, there's a lot of cut-scenes and the protagonist is far from silent - he even talks to himself.

Just so you know - Mecha Hitler does not make an appearance.

four balls. ;)

SUPER TIME FORCE

This game is insane - blocky retro visuals, chiptune music, game mechanics that will make your brain melt.

I think I've got the hang of it now. It's a side scrolling shooter with a handful of characters with different abilities. The interesting part is that at any point you can rewind time and drop in as a new character and from that point fight along side your previous character.

If your previous character was killed but then you manage to prevent this then they become like a visual glitch and if you touch them you take on their traits as well as your own.
