Those sneaky bastards! Well, we waited with immense anticipation for today’s countdown timer on Aperturescience.com to hit 00:00:00, and most of the world – including ourselves – thought it would mean the early release of Portal 2. Sadly, we were massively mistaken, and the timer actually led us to let another timer. Good grief! Could Valve toy with us anymore?!
Anyway, the timer it led us to now is significantly more interesting, as it appears to be a page devoted to getting as many people playing a select handful of games, and gaining as many achievements as possible before the official release of Portal 2 on Steam next Tuesday. If the quota is met, then we seem to be promised an actual early release, instead of the fake one that we all believed was coming. Another suggestion has been that what is really being asked of us is that we merely play the games in one large coordinated effort, filling up the red meters on the new page, to produce enough fictional power to allow Portal 2 to release early.
Whatever the hell we need to be doing, we’re certainly going to put in some time on any of the required games that we currently own.
I recently played through Cult of the Lamb, a satirical take on the concept of running a demonic cult. It turns horrific things like sacrificial rituals, cannibalism and straight up gaslighting abuse into hilarious amusements by filtering everything through its cartoonish lens. You are a sheep, after all, and all your followers are sycophantic anthropomorphic […]
Hello, world! This post marks the moment in time and space when BangClickReload got a little redesign and was dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century. Every post before this point is rather old and might not look right, and unless I decide to go through them all to fix them, they’re going to […]
I’ve been pretty absent from PC gaming for some time, since moving to Canada in early 2017, because I haven’t had a proper computer to play games on. That has recently changed, since I got myself set up with a new gaming rig that can handle pretty much anything that’s out at the moment. I […]
Ever wanted to play a part in another story about the Mafia in the 1940-50s, watching plenty of well animated cutscenes and shooting lots of people? Well if so, you’re in luck, because that’s exactly what you get with Mafia II. It was announced by 2K Games around August, 2007, but now – 3 years later – it was finally released for all the mobster fans out there to get their hands on and gawp at. It certainly looked set to bowl us all over with a realistic, beautiful, story driven, free-roaming gangster blast from the past. Has it attempted and pulled off everything we may have expected from it? Or did it flop beyond all reason and leave those of us waiting years for it utterly disappointed?
Yes, it’s from Prototype 2! Something I wasn’t even aware there were already trailers for… Look at that guy fly!
The eyes! The horrible, horrible EYES! This will go down as one of the worst game covers in history. Click for full-size horror.
