So I'm watching inside gaming yesterday at machinima and found myself quite irritated when they discussed a new game by Team "Bondy" called L.A "Nowhere".
Why it it so irritating when games jouralists, dudes who get paid to make a daily show all about gaming news fail to pronounce shit correctly. Ok maybe you havent heard of Bondi beach but surely the words film Noire have entered your scull at some point, right?. Man, is that a sign I'm getting old when I get pissed off when people mispronounce words?. Anyway. Has anyone got the game?. I was going to wait and play the witcher 2 this weekend but because I just bought a car I decided to go and grab it after work. Its really quite brilliant. so polished and very unique. I guess its kind of a mixture of heavy rain, GTA and classic adventure games. I was worried that not being able to draw your weapon unless the game lets you would be a problem but the way they've handled it is really good. everything just flows along. you can climb up ladders and open doors, chase down crooks and stuff all just by pushing in that direction. Compared to say the way the witcher 2 deals with obstacles its substantially more fluid, and compared to heavy rain it feels like you have alot more control over whats going on and where you are headed. If you're on the fence about buying this one just get it, unless you hate games that make you ponder. Supporting the Australian video games industry is another good reason
