There are two types of people reading this Arslan: The Warriors of Legend review. First, there are the people who saw the title and immediately became interested in the game adaptation of the long running novel/manga/anime series. Then, there’s people like me who saw Omega Force and decided to see what the very prolific studio churned out this time. What has been rolled out is yet another Musou from the masters of Musou, but this one at least has a pretty good story – if you can follow it.
It came after a slightly lengthy delay, a lot of speculation and much anticipation. Now, you can ‘Be the Bat’, as the ad campaign promised, and assume the mantle of The Dark Knight in a last ditch effort to save Gotham. This time, it’s not from the recently deceased Joker, but from Scarecrow and his hired gun the Arkham Knight, a man whose hatred for the Bat runs deep and cold.
The newest entry of the Total War series plunges you head first into the Fall of Rome. Well, maybe a few years before, but the Fall is definitely in the midst of happening. Aptly titled, the Huns are knocking on Rome’s doorstep and the mighty Attila is looking to subjugate Europe under is superior forces. Whether playing as the Huns or one of the European civilizations trying to cling to your land, Attila, while not exactly reinventing the genre, brings a different approach to the RTS and the Total War series that is quite engaging.
The Last of Us is one of those rare gems in gaming that brings an experience so moving and so intense that it leaves an impression on anyone who plays it. One of 2013’s biggest hits, it is definitely a tough act to follow. Naughty Dog was definitely up to the challenge though and they now give eager fans the much anticipated single player DLC ‘Left Behind’. In true Naughty Dog fashion they didn’t disappoint and for anyone who loved ‘The Last of Us’ this is quite simply a must play.
