Kill All Humans, the Path of Furon Review
This is another in the long series of kill all humans games. And yes I’ve played none of them.
The game play seems to follow a simple enough, GTA like structure, you go around town blowing up people, buildings and the like. You have missions and stories etc. The screen shots looked impressive but the textures, background elements and things like cars are blocky. A definite take away if your playing on the 360, which should frankly not have any such issues. Crypto himself is really beautiful, and the visual effects are beautiful.
Matrix sort of stuff… which may excuse the bad backdrops.
The game play involves like I said missions, and lots of killing, with a variety of weapons, using both handheld guns and a brilliantly lit, purple saucer. The guns sound interesting, with a tracer bullet firing anal probe and much more…
Another interesting idea is the special abilities crypto has, ranging from being able to stop time, to more, apparently this is an old idea… from the second title in the series.
One thing though, that the reviewer didn’t like, was that the game played too much the ones before it, the story elements and game play are repetitive, with boredom a real possibility despite the cool effects.
The dialogue though is genuinely funny, and the sound effects are pretty good, with the score coming largely from old B movies.
The look they’ve given Crypto makes him seem interesting and suggestive, and with such advanced abilities like time stopping, and the very pleasing prospect of killing people, and bashing things, I think it I’d pick it up.

New Wolfenstein Shown at Quake Con!
Quake Con is currently underway and with it comes the completed promise by Activision Blizzard to dish out new assets for the anticipated remake of Castle Wolfenstein for next-gen gaming systems.
The work is being done at Endrant Studios, Raven Software. Endrant Studios is primarily working on the multiplayer aspect of the game so we know there should be both single player and multiplayer action in it.
Players will return to the boots of B.J. Blazkowicz to foil those gosh darn pesky nazis once again. Hollenshead also revealed that the new game will allow the player to recruit fighters to join in and help out with the foiling.
Also on display is the Shrell, or the other dimension Nazis are so keen on tearing open a hole to explore. The green tint is reminiscent of The Matrix while the otherworldly creatures the Nazis are likely trying to enlist bring back memories of Hellboy.
Lastly, that badass massive weapon with a blue energy blast is called a particle gun. Chances are you’ll want to snatch one up immediately upon sight.
Wolfenstein naturally will be released “when it’s done” for the PC, 360, and PC.
