FYI you can trim 80% of that. https://www.amazon.com/LEXiBOOK-Educational-Activities-Mathematics-Dactylography/dp/B0B6HKB3JF/ Amazon sure loves its tracking data.

Trespass.

It was both countries, sadly.

A variant of Eat hot chip and lie.

There was a followup movie 6 years later, but as you can see from the audience score it wasn’t very good. None of the actors from the Tanner family came back for it.

“Not Suitable For Washington”?

Smart Pipe?

Check the URL. The site clearly changed the headline after OP posted.

The term you’re looking for is National Emergency Library.

Ah, a co-op install.

Wait, someone actually made Smart Pipe?

We used to compare Zelda II, SMB 2, and Castlevania II for all taking weird swings before swerving back for their third entries.

I hate the term “Quadruple-A”. The entire point of Triple-A was to be the biggest of the big. There’s no cap on that size.

They have Doom and Wolfenstein too, and series they’ve seemingly abandoned like Dishonored and Evil Within. They’ve tried to expand to other games but have mixed results at best: HiFi Rush was an unexpected hit early this year, but Redfall was…well, not. The hype on Starfield fizzled pretty quickly too.

Ghostwire sadly got middling review scores. It had a promising reveal a couple years back, then spent a while in troubled development before releasing as a fairly basic open world game.

Wait, is that an Eternal Darkness reference?

D4 was the first of their games to charge extra for early access by attaching it to premium editions.

Ever heard of Spiderweb Software? They’ve been putting out lo-fi old-school cRPGs for nearly 30 years now. Take a look at Avernum: Escape from the Pit (a remake of their first game, Exile) and see if that scratches the same itch.

You can save and quit in Zelda, it just takes 2 controllers. You had to pause with controller 1 then hit Up+A on controller 2.

Aw, not Beamdog. :( They made all those enhanced editions classic D&D games like Baldur’s Gate 1 + 2 and Planescape Torment. I didn’t realize they were under Aspyr, which has had serious issues itself lately, not to mention the ongoing money issues at Embracer. We’re going to hear a bunch more stories like this over the next year, aren’t we.

It’s when there’s a disconnect between the storytelling and the gameplay. Usual example is Uncharted or the last Tomb Raider reboot: the main character wrings their hands over the possibility of having to kill a person, but the gameplay is you mowing down an army.
