Crash Team Rumble falls somewhere in the middle of this rollercoaster ride failing to recapture the magic of the first few Crash games yet avoiding most of the pitfalls that hampered the Traveller's Tales and Vicarious Visions-developed installments throughout the naughties and twenty-tens.Ĭrash Team Rumble is a game that nobody was really asking for, but that doesn't mean that there's not still fun to be had here. The Crash Bandicoot franchise has seen its fair share of ups and downs over the years, with most of the latter coming after Naughty Dog handed over control of the IP.
Of course, that's not to say that the game doesn't have its issues, but for fans of the series and high-quality third-person shooters, they should be fairly easy to overlook. Sure, players may come for the Xenomorphs, but they'll stay for the out-of-this-world gun fights and the wonderful job that the game does of creating tension and suspense when the battlefield falls silent. One suspects that there are plenty of people who fall into the latter category, as there's still an awful lot of fun to be had with Aliens: Fireteam Elite. Granted, this may be a case of too little too late for some, but those still having fun with the game will no doubt see it as a case of better late than never.
For those who are keeping score, that's exactly what happened with Cold Iron Studios' Aliens: Fireteam Elite, with the functionality being added into the game almost a full year on from its official release. Take a look at the run-down straight from the horse's mouth at 1UP and decide for yourself if that's something you think is a good idea or not.It's always nice when a game that didn't launch with crossplay support gets it in a future update. "I want to play Diablo 3 on my laptop in a plane, but, well, there are other games to play for times like that," he says.ġUP also reports that the in-game auction house for Diablo 3 will use both gold generated inside the game and real money - if you want to sell that epic sword of awesomeness you can do it and make a buck at the same time. Pardo acknowledges that some players will want to play the game offline, say on a laptop while flying or if your connection goes down for whatever reason. The reason, according to Blizzard's Rob Pardo, is the features the game will ship with - including a friends list, cross game chat, a banner that changes style depending on your achievements in the game and that your characters are stored on Blizzard's server. In order to play Diablo III you will need to be online at all times, not only for authentication, 1UP reports today.
