Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes
Edge
|July 2018
The bad-attitude assassin returns for an all-in-one arcade rampage.
-

Travis Touchdown has lost touch with reality. So what else is new? Suda51’s beam-saber-wielding antihero has always seen life as a game, slicing his way up the ranks of the United Assassins Association in No More Heroes to become the number one assassin. In Grasshopper’s follow-up, he walked away from the crown: now, in spin-off title Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes, he’s sucked into another competition.
That’s not just fancy phrasing – he really is sucked into it. Seven years after the events of No More Heroes 2, Touchdown has entered middle-aged ennui, bored of the UAA, and has moved out to the sticks to play videogames in peace. That is, until Badman shows up with a bone to pick regarding the death of his daughter. Somehow, the two are pulled into Touchdown’s prototype console, the Death Drive MK-II, to race through its many virtual worlds for a prize: a single wish granted.

Gears Of War: Reloaded
Something may be lost in the translation between the original 2006 version of Gears Of War and the considerably prettier, brighter and more sharply textured Reloaded. A solemn, grimy place, where endless battles over scarce resources have resulted only in ever-larger piles of corpses, the world of Gears is perhaps most suitably rendered via the fuzzier, grey-brown colour palette of the first Xbox 360 release. Especially for Marcus Fenix and co, war is hell. You might argue that it ought to look like it.

Post Script
Ezo was not yet part of Japan in 1603, when Ghost Of Yotei's story takes place, which feels an appropriate analogue for Sucker Punch acknowledging itself as a nonJapanese studio making a culturally Japanese game.
