Police Week: The Precinct
Should police games reflect the fact that the vast majority of violent crime is committed by males? I only ask because easy-to-recommend The Precinct is another cop title in which you’re almost as likely to be shot by a gun moll as a gun man.
Friday Foxer #243
Every Friday, Tally-Ho Corner’s cleverest clogs come together to solve a ‘foxer’ handcrafted by my sadistic chum and colleague, Roman. A complete ‘defoxing’ sometimes takes several days and usually involves the little grey cells of many readers.
Police Week: Interrogation Simulator
Cop games tend to lose interest in criminals the moment they’re in custody. The sort of tense interview suite tussles that loom large in this short but ingenious £2 grill-em-up seldom get ludologised and when they do it’s rarely with this level of subtlety or insight.
Police Week – Judge Dredd: Dredd vs Death
Luke-warm reviews? An unpersuasive demo? Competition from the likes of FS9, Call of Duty, IL-2 Sturmovik: Forgotten Battles, and Rise of Nations? I can’t recall why I didn’t play this futuristic FPS in its year of release: 2003. As an avid WASDist who was rarely far from a copy of 2000 AD during the Eighties, I should have found it irresistible.
Police Week: Beat Cop
Beat Cop’s setting might be cosy – one short street in a fictional US city – but there’s nothing pipe and slippers about its storyline, dialogue, and choices. How did you start the day? Me, before breakfast I stuffed dope-filled suppositories up the arse of a junkie priest in a piss-perfumed alleyway.
Bounce the Bogen: Turn 4
Yet to issue an order in this year’s play-by-comment Combat Mission game? Now would be a great time to get your feet wet. In the final moments of this minute-long turn, the Comment Commanders’ force doubles in size. All of the newcomers will require thoughtful chaperones in the weeks/turns ahead.
