While I can’t tell you whether Pure Rock Crawling’s depiction of rock crawling is superior to BeamNG.drive’s and Expeditions’, I’m hoping at least one THC reader has the necessary expertise and time to answer this question via a comment. What I can say is that my first few hours with Maciej Kuzianik’s £10 (until November 11) boulder bothering sim have flown by and I’ve enjoyed every minute so far.
I don’t know anyone better equipped to assay Unity of Command 2’s last expansion pack than THC’s man in Lithuania. As Martynas Klimas has spent around 220 hours cheek by jowl with 2×2’s hexy masterpiece, his take on this “fitting endnote for the series” is worth its weight in Nazi gold. Over to you, Martynas.
This week’s handmade co-op puzzle won’t defox itself. If you’re a whizz at quizzes, lateral thinking, and search engine sleuthing, why not lend a hand.
A skillful ringer can communicate pretty subtle things with the THC scramble bell. For instance, the combination of clangs, bongs, and ting-tings that’s currently cacophonising the Corner tells me that Scramble: Battle of Britain is Early Accessible at long last, that the recently updated Gary Grigsby’s Eagle Day to Bombing the Reich is just eight quid at present, and that I can now play Target For Today using Tabletop Sim.
Not everyone in the games industry is quite as positive about Creative Europe’s game development hand-outs as the three grant beneficiaries whose views I shared in Thoughts of the Thankful. It would be remiss of me not to give you a taste of the skepticism and suspicion I’ve come across while looking into EU fun funding.
I might as well get my main Commandos: Origins criticisms in early (Playing games before castigating them is so passé). I miss inventories and Lupin the Thief more than I thought I would, and I wish Claymore Game Studios had drawn inspiration from Spellbound’s back catalogue as well as Pyro’s and Mimimi’s.
What in heaven’s name do they teach them at Bovington these days? The British Crusader gets three chances to pot the PSW in Turn 10 and fluffs all of them.
