![]() ![]() What’s truly unique about Deadly Premonition 2 is how marvelously memorable and ridiculously campy the kookie cast of characters is. For fear of spoilers, I won’t go into too much more detail, but rest assured, your favorite movie-obsessed FBI criminal profiler, Francis York Morgan, is ready to get to the bottom of yet another sinister plot. Said case takes place in the backwater Louisiana town of Le Carré, and involves the murder of a young, beautiful woman called Lise Clarkson. Serving as both a sequel and a prequel to the original title, Deadly Premonition 2 kicks things off in suitably nutty fashion and centers on a retired, stoned-out-of-his-mind York under investigation for a case long thought to be closed. In many ways, it profoundly changed the way I - and many others - view the medium as a whole. The strange thing is, for a murder mystery about an idiosyncratic FBI agent who has a penchant for coffee, cigarettes and 80’s B-movies, Hidetaka Suehiro’s rough-around-the-edges fourth-wall-breaking crime-thriller harbored a deep, meaningful story that not only emotionally resonated with fans, but skewered our preconceptions of what makes a game, well, good. Seriously, you really do either love it or hate it. Frankly, to call Deadly Premonition the marmite of video games would be a massive understatement. Not only did 2010’s Xbox 360 exclusive earn a prestigious spot in the Guinness World Records for being the most critically polarising video game of all time, but it also went on to become a legit cultural phenomenon that was later ported to the PC, PlayStation 3, and the Nintendo Switch. ![]() Few video games have managed to build up as much of a cult following as Access Games’ critically divisive open-world survival horror opus, Deadly Premonition. ![]()

The bottom pane in the window only appears when you’re hovering on a link or have downloaded a file. If you open a new tab a third bar presents itself with Favorites but this goes away when you navigate to a site. These are your usual Back, Forward, Reload, Home, the search bar or address bar, a star icon to Favorite the site, and then the utility options. Just below that all navigational elements show as nifty icons. You can move tabs to new windows with ease, you just need to drag and drop them. It’s one tab per site, allowing you to have one browser window with any number of tabs. The top window pane is as unobtrusive as they come. A reliance on icons lets Chrome provide a large window space enabling you to focus on the website while Chrome recedes in the background. It all starts with Chrome’s well-designed user interface that set the standard a decade ago.Ĭhrome’s bright white background with gray accents and text looks as inviting as ever. For most users, these are all livable compared to the benefits. The most impassioned case against Chrome is one against Google: Their tentacles touch and see everything. You can only have 10 shortcuts on the Google homepage. Others have been tested to be faster and less a resource hog. ![]() It’s a little large on the download size compared to its peers. Does it have a couple drawbacks? Relatively, sure. It’s easy to use and navigate, gets top marks for security, it syncs your preferences across devices, there are so many useful extensions, and the built-in Password Manager and generator is the best thing since sliced bread. Today, competitors emulate that no-frills approach as Chrome has solidified itself as the internet’s most popular browser. Google took the same formula and applied it to its Chrome browser when it launched in 2008.

In order to learn more, you must assist a young woman named Leah by rescuing her mentor, the wise and elderly Deckard Cain. You begin your adventure in the town of New Tristram, where you learn of an ancient prophecy involving an invasion of Sanctuary by the Lords of Hell. ![]() Seven unique playable character classesĭiablo 3: Eternal Collection thrusts players deep into the corrupt fantasy world of Sanctuary, where horrifying creatures roam among the ruined land.As you learn more about the cult and fight against demonic monstrosities, a massive fight against unholy invaders begins to unravel. Upon arrival, you discover hordes of cultists have overtaken the area, granting you some much-needed foes to slay. In the game, you play as a custom warrior who travels to the troubled world of Sanctuary to investigate rumors of a fallen star. This deluxe version of the acclaimed action title includes the base Diablo 3 game, along with the Reaper of Souls expansion and two additional character classes. Diablo 3: Eternal Collection is a violent, addictive isometric hack 'n slash RPG, and widely considered one of the best games of all time. ![]() ![]() Most of these battles take place in condemned locations that lack much physical appeal, whereas limited time is spent in the feature's more luxurious settings. The fight scenes, although occasionally wonderfully executed, despite the obvious low budget, sometimes become tiresomely long-winded, even with the action oriented soundtrack which efficaciously works accompanying many of the scenes. ![]() On the subject of the film's other prominent feature, the sheer mass of violence steadily increases over the course of the film, until red becomes the main color spilling across the screen. Safe to say, feminists need not apply to watch this movie, with over 80% of the women in the feature been relegated to unnecessary sexist stereotypes. ![]() Unfortunately, it seems the creators put too much thought into the tantalizing visuals and innuendo, and not enough elsewhere, which is where the attention was most required. This, much like a scene where women are dressed in alluring maid outfits, which is a step up from other moments involving women whose attire is even more revealing, is obviously aimed towards a male audience, who will, in all likelihood, potentially enjoy the aforementioned scene, as it is easily one of the film's most memorable moments. There's one particular scene involving two women with magnificent external features, one of whom is pinned to a table, the other on top, her tongue dancing across the body of the woman who's tied down, saliva left in its wake. Almost all of the female characters dress in leather outfits that are absolutely stunning, revealing the physicality of the gorgeous women wearing them. ![]() ![]() The film exhibits an avid concentration on the legs and chests belonging to the female characters, and despite the lead never revealing her underlying flesh, which reflects the principles the feature is able to support, much of the sexual content contradicts this particular aspect through the severe limitation exhibited upon morals in general - even incest being a theme incorporated into the script. Having never viewed the Manga or Anime this feature is based upon, perhaps I was at a disadvantage, as I did not expect the opening of the film to encompass sex and nudity. There is no real emotional connection to the characters, or their development, resulting in very two dimensional individuals, the story itself, which fails to substantially bear fruit, being conceived in a similar vein. ![]() ![]() ![]() The graphics aren’t a huge step up from the next gen version of NBA 2K14, but that doesn’t mean that they aren’t still spectacular. This makes playing with random players satisfying rather a frustrating experience. Now, an intuitive meter is displayed below each player with a line that indicates how long you should hold the shot stick. ![]() This proved to be incredibly troublesome with players who have an unorthodox shooting motion like Kevin Martin. Previously, you had the highest chance of making a shot by releasing the ball when the player was at the peak of his jump. ![]() The sometimes painstaking process of learning a player’s shot motion has been simplified with the addition of a shot meter in NBA 2K15. It's a welcome change from past 2K games, which struggled to find a balance between no control and micromanagement of plays. This an underrated feature of the game which allows you to set the tone or follow the coach’s direction while keeping the game ever-changing and dynamic. You have the option of setting these manually during timeouts, or you can let your coach adjust it throughout the game. A defensive point of emphasis could be crashing the boards. For example, a point of emphasis on offense could be running all plays through Derrick Rose. NBA 2K15 has a “points of emphasis” system which provides an excellent way to manage style of play. ![]() From a gameplay perspective, controlling your team’s offense and defense have been updated. If you’ve played 2K14, then you should be at home with the controls. During games, you can watch a play-by-play counter of what’s happening and decide to jump in at any point. These are displayed through dialogs that take place in your office. Sometimes players will approach you and complain about the intensity of practice or their role on the team. Being GM means that you have to deal with the needs of the players. ![]() ![]() ![]() Processor: Intel Core i5 2400S 2.5 GHz or better or AMD Phenom II x4 940 3.0 GHz.Additional Notes: Windows-Compatible keyboard and mouse required, controller optional.Sound Card: DirectX Compatible Sound Card with latest drivers.Graphics: Nvidia Geforce GTX 260 or AMD Radeon HD 4870 (512MB VRAM with shader Model 4.0 or higher).Processor: Intel Core2Quad Q8400 2.6 GHz or AMD Athlon II X4 620 2.6 GHz.OS: Windows Vista SP2 or Windows 7 SP1 or Windows 8 (both 32/64bit versions).(OPTION) Install the update version if they have the future in the link below: (See instructions if you don't know how to install: Instructions on how to install) 1.
