Telegitch die more edition

Teleglitch is top down perspective survival horror game with an interesting lighting system. You play as an android tasked with exploring multiple space stations that have lost contact and weird things are happening (think of the game Dead Space) the weird part is that each station has key rooms in the same spot but smaller rooms and corridors are completely randomized making each play through moderately different. The interesting thing that the light does is that it acts as a spawn for enemies, you project a single light source that illuminates a large area around you but if a column or wall blocks your lights way its pitch black and allows enemies (from spider mutants, zombies, androids and deranged humans) to spawn.

You start the first level with only a pistol with sixty rounds and 3 bombs, you can pick up other weapons from item bins randomly littered throughout the stage or pick them up off of dead enemies (same goes for health items) its relatively hard to aim in the game but it fortunately doesn't take much to kill most enemies in the game, it being usually around a shot or two.

The other mode in the game is the arena mode, in this mode you first pick one weapon set of the nine available giving the user a variation of play style choices and then has you fight against a set wave of specific enemies in a set environment but randomized level until you can make your way through all 4 environments trying for your best score

Counter Strike Global Offensive Operation Vanguard update

Counter Strike Global Offensive is a sort of touch up on the enormously popular team shooter Counter Strike Source. In Global Offensive they have continuously updated the game adding things like weapon skins to trade among your friends and practical things like weapon balances and other adjustments.

The Operation updates are limited time events that after purchasing a ticket to players get access to a new pack of maps (some created by community members others by valve.) along with the chance to get new weapon skins or get old ones that aren't normally being given out anymore. Op Vanguard brings 6 new maps: Bazaar, a classic to counter strike looking Mediterranean streets map, Facade, A mostly indoors criminal headquarters setting hidden in a shipping yard, Marquis, Modeled after the streets and subway of France, Season, a Japanese bio-technology research lab, Workout, a high class modern looking gym and finally Back Alley, alleyways near the docks leads to lots of corridor fighting.

Vanguard also updates my favorite game mode arms race (first to get 2 kills with every weapon in the game wins) adding 3 new maps to it which is great because the selection isn't a very big one so new maps are very welcome. And it adds a campaign mode which is just a string of scenarios (from bomb defusing/planting, to hostage rescues on all of the maps in operation vanguard.

Why I love Hotline Miami

Warning viewer discretion is advised, Hotline Miami is a very violent game that is not suitable for all audiences.

For those of you who haven't read my review Hotline Miami is a top down pixilized psychedelic murderfest set in the 80's when the mafia scene was large and government conspiracies were afoot.

I don't quite know what it is about Hotline Miami but this game easily found its way into my list of favorite games from the second I started playing it. Everything about this game was executed near perfectly from the quick twitch gameplay to the best soundtrack I've ever heard in a game. While on the surface the game looks like nothing more than a murderous gore filled rampage the plot is actually very rich and interesting, the only catch is that you the player are given key parts and you have to piece together what you have and fill in the blanks to realize what's really going on and to find out who's leaving you those messages that send you on those murder sprees.

Moving on from the story part i'd like to address the other reason I love this game. For a game that only Took me around 4-5 hours to beat HM has yet to bore me in the 13 hours I've logged on it, I always find myself coming back to it to try and beat my and others high scores or just to kill a few minutes while im waiting around.
