    Mam, I really should have got into the Killzone franchise when I was younger. Always grew up with playstations, but never bought any of those games, how’s Shadow Fall been so far?

      It’s been generally fun but I am really bad at this kind of game so I end up lagging too far behind where the story wants me to be, so enemies teleport seemingly out of nowhere. I also can’t seem to identify where the alarms are, which makes it even worse. That’s a me problem, though.

      If you like story driven FPS games with good art, it’ll probably scratch the itch for you. It’s not as much as an interactive movie as the games from the era of quicktime events but there is a little bit of linear play to it. Overall it’s pretty standard fare. I read a review that was something like “It’s not a great FPS game but it’s a great Killzone game” and I think that tracks.

        Cool, I should definitely go back and try to play that series, I’ve always been entranced by the jet black suits of armor and the glowing red goggles. It reminds me a lot of Jin-Roh. Such a cool aesthetic.
