Inversion

This week, after the surprise of Spec Ops: The Line, Inversion has us back to being able to judge a game by the cover.

I really hated this game. I thought it was going to be a unique gem after the TomSka video but it just became another repugnant shooter. Anyway, thanks for your input Yahtzee.

I hate it when a game promises you Cadbury creme eggs and then doesn't deliver. Not even those mini creme eggs. Damnit.

It's gotta be Russel Davis. And maybe it's actually about the writer/producer of Torchwood and the whole game is what goes on inside his head.

If the fact that a game has guns in it makes me reconsider a purchase, there's too damn many shooters in the market :/

Fresh Prince is timeless!

Hmmm..Prince of Bel-Air: Sands of Time.

Sorry, trying to think of something better than a boilerplate shooter.

And you'd like to take a minute just sit right there to tell us how you became the prince of a town called Bel-Air?

Wait there was a Tomska video about this game? When was this?

Ha! That ending really got me!

Anyway, does anyone mind spoiling that plot twist for me? (In tags, natch.) I mean, after that, it's not like I was going to play it anyway.

EDIT: never mind, I found out and it makes sense.

If you want spoilers, go to this forum.

That's a bit like Phantasy Star III: Generations of Doom then, but in that game you can start figuring out the twist by the end of the first "generation".

The only thing I'd ever seen about this game was the cover art. I guess it was one of those games that the publisher was embarrassed by. Who was the publisher anyway? And no, I'm not going to Google it, because I don't really care.

On another note, Fresh Prince: The Game. Somebody make that right now.

I think this was released during E3. You can definitely tell that the publisher just wanted to get this out there without anyone noticing.

But what then will Yahtzee gripe about? Good to see him back spewing his hate bile on cliche'ed malarkey.

So they basically borrowed one mechanic from Half-Life 2, another from Prey, didn't implement either one very well, and called it a day?
