I have to admit I always look forward to seeing the theming of each Party Pack, and this time each of the games are made to look like a billboard, with the number 9 floating in the sky like a cloud — cute....
Phil and the Hundred Spencers You ever have those games that just sneak up on you? WhenWitch and the Hundred Knightwas announced I was all about that nonsense. Fast forward several months to now and the game is out. Boy does it look silly. If you aren’t up onWitch and the Hundred Knightit’s aDiablo-esque game with a Witch and some weird respawning knights.

One way to keep us goldfish interested is with new fighters....

While the PlayStation Japan channel posted this video, based onShiin‘swebsite registration, it’s believed to be a third-party title fromStranger of Sword Citystudio Experience Inc....

As such, we’re stuck with the first two (as well as the VR gameAlyx). But that’s a good thing, becauseHalf-Life1 and 2 are exemplary first-person shooters. So loved is the series, that fans continue to tweak and modHalf-LifeandHalf-Life 2to their own ends. TakeTeam Vestigeover on ModDB (viaPCGamesN), which has taken the legendary sci-fi FPS and turned it into a horror experience....
