    People Can Fly's cult sci-fi shooter - and booter, and whipper, and blower-upper - returns in an impressively lavish package.

    Still one of the most underrated, unique, and just plain fun shooters I've ever played. It's multiplayer may be an acquired taste, but theStill one of the most underrated, unique, and just plain fun shooters I've ever played. It's multiplayer may be an acquired taste, but the Single Players is one of the best paced campaigns of all time. The skill-point score system is just as addicting as it ever was and the dialog is just as LOL as it was back in 2011. It might be a little short (about 6 hours long) and the drama is a bit all over the place, but this still an excellent game. Here's hoping it does well so that EA will make a damn sequel already or Gearbox buys the rights from them so they can make one. The world needs more games where you get points by shooting a guys dick off, with a pistol that shoots rocket bullets.… Full Review »

    Bulletstorm is one of the best underrated shooters of all time, namely because it garnered much controversy and poor marketing that turned itBulletstorm is one of the best underrated shooters of all time, namely because it garnered much controversy and poor marketing that turned it into a commercial failure in 2011. The reason it is one of the best is not due to its story (which is mediocre in terms of writing, character dev, and such) but of its gameplay; its concept of "kill with skill" added a masochistic vibe for players to relish in the destruction and be all about having a good time. Considering you can get drunk, shoot a guy in the nuts, and kick off his face in that order is a statement that says clearly "we are fun first, everything else follows and can wait". It's stupid, over the top, B-action movie setup is a parody to many of the shooters that have flooded the market in the past decade, but delivers on gameplay that gives an argument for how important it really is in gaming.

    The overall package of Bulletstorm's remaster is great for newcomers, but poor for vets and fans. I will explain; because of how under the radar BS was in the gaming media, the remaster is a perfect way to give new players an experience that vets and fans have loved for over half a decade. The campaign is only 5-7 hours long (with mediocre story, script and dialogue), but the pacing of enemies, weapon accumulation and combat is just fantastic cathartic fun that will have you smashing apart everything and anything that has a gun or claw and/or isn't on your side. The echoes will challenge newbies for being more stylish with kills and get high scores that go to online leaderboards, and with the new ultimate echoes there is a slight challenge further implemented if you like echoes. As for Anarchy mode, newbies will most likely chew on it and spit it out after the first few matches go, but maybe if the player base gets big enough, maybe some life can be injected in so the experiences are bit better, if only marginally. Duke Nukem also stars in the game (with hilarious dialogue with the original VA of Duke as the him) but might see this as only a "uncut" model that is thrown in for laughs and not much else. For $50-60, this is pretty much a no-brainer if you want a good time.

    Now for fans (the 1% if you will), you will be disgusted by the price and generally how much it lacks. The game runs at a smoother framerate, but in intense moments when so much is happening on screen, my game would dip to the 30s for a few seconds (which was the cap in the original versions all the time). The graphics are improved, but I can't help to feel that they were already great in the original version and due to the technological leap the graphics just don't wow the second time round. Anarchy was a mediocre yawn in the original and unless you have a team of friends that are equally adept in learning the different combos and skills, you will likely leave it in a matter of matches. Echoes is back and has ultimate echoes, but since most of the fans have already done those so many times, it just feels like retreading in the tedious of ways. The campaign was never the strong arm of the game's greatness, but listening to the dirty jokes and reliving the teenage years that most were when it first came out, the teen now adults won't help but cringe a bit and feel is TOO MUCH to bear (even if you turn the gore and language off) to listen through. Duke's presence is novel and you cant help feeling PWF put it in to either rub salt in the wound of the last Duke Nukem game or it was a NEW idea created that wasn't expanded upon that made the overall addition feel like a facade as you play it. Really, $50-60 dollars is too steep a price for older fans and vets to bother with unless you are diehard to the game since release.

    Bulletstorm Full Clip Edition is a great package that comes with all the DLC and extra polish that will determine its possible sequel should enough money is made from this endeavor...only if you are NEW TO THE GAME. As a fan of the series and heralding as one of the best shooters for its fantastic gameplay and no non sense attitude, it was EXTREMELY HARD TO BUY IT when buying the original on the Xbox 360 years ago for 3 bucks was dirt cheap and having to give 20x that for a reskin. It's a tough call to make and feel Gearbox is greedy for it, but should a sale come and prices it at half, then YOU SHOULD PLAY IT ASAP. It's a stupidly brilliant game that embraces dumb ideas and blends them into a cascade of catastrophic delights that is all in the name of good bloody fun and nothing more.    … Full Review »
