Today, it's time to pay not that much to score quite a heck of a lot, thanks to Humble Bundle. The tastiest component in said package has got to be Nioh 2, top action-RPG and spiritual predecessor of the imminently forthcoming Rise of the Ronin. The latter keeps all the samurai action, strips out the supernatural enemies (plus giant enemy crabs), and adds in a backpack glider not unlike the Bat-tastic one from the Arkham series. Pretty good formula so far, no?
In retro news, I'm celebrating the 15th birthday of H.A.W.X., a Clancy-verse Top Gun that sounded like the noise made when too much flem builds up in one's throat. My overriding memories of it include a third-person lock-on cam, and a fly-through-these-boxes mini-game that would drift your plane onto the tail of your target. Despite making dogfighting ludicrously accessible and taking off to decent sales figures, a lacklustre sequel put this fledgling franchise into a flatspin, then the dirt.
