Catherine & Katherine - Pixely

Catherine & Katherine, from Catherine... Kind of annoying there but oh well. If you don't remember it, this is that adult japanese puzzle game that caused a bunch of ripples here in the west because it was just so weird. Remember the big deal people made out of that one hidden scene "Hot Coffee" in GTA:San Andreas games that made a mini game out of sex? How horrific. Fortunatly this was balanced by light hearted and healthy cold blooded murder.
Anyway, happy new years everyone! See you all in a bit.

Jodi Holmes - Beyond Two Souls

I haven't played this one yet. I'm saving it for when we finish The Last Of Us. Juno, as I colloquially call every single character that Ellen Page plays looks pretty plain in this game. In terms of costume design and everything it's all rather subdued. I guess I've been spoiled by all the crazy sci-fi and fighter games I've had to pick from. Drawing someone in jeans and tshirt is sort of a yawn-a-thon after the others. I guess I should just  kill two birds with one stone and say that this is Ellie from The Last of Us while we're here.

Remember Me Screenshots

You can see the pixel version of Nilin I did over here.
The sexy use of Helvetica Neue throughout the game really made it for me as well. The
whole stylisation was really well executed. I wouldn't even mind the concept art book for it.

Nilin - Remember Me

I'm putting it out there. I like this game. I'm glad I dropped the 25 bucks on it on Steam. I got the new Tomb Raider at the same time for 10 bucks. A bit weird that a newer game that has had way more air time is selling so much cheaper. Hope I didn't accidentally buy one of the older titles. If I did then they're not getting another resale, it'l teach 'em for getting lazy with their titles like Star Trek and Xbox One.
But yeah, I think this game got an undue amount of slack I reckon. I don't play a lot of games that were produced for consoles, so maybe my opinion of games all being the same is tainted. Since most of the games I play aren't all the same, unlike all console adventure titles. I'm pretty sure that if this game was produced by EA, and they payed off all the writers like they normally do to gloss over the fact that the fighting is a little repetitive then it would have been haled as one of this years coolest new IP's.
Unfortunatly it's going to be just another cult classic. To be honest I think we should avoid calling it an "IP". I mean, I know that's what it is. But when people bandy it around they generally get the publishers all excited about creating sequels. This game doesn't need one. It's finished. It put everything to bed. Here look, I even took pictures. Note that the majority of the shots here are of her in her prisoner outfit, and not her usual assassin type garb.

I'm splitting the rest of the screenshots into a seperate post. Because this is just going to get ridiculous otherwise. Also spoiler warning for the upcoming drop of screenshots.
