![]() ![]() I picked up 2019’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare in the Black Friday sale last weekend and I got myself well and truly stuck in. Ollie – Social Media Manager Call of Duty: Modern Warfare With some great writing and excellent voice acting (particularly Colt and Juliana), Deathloop really feels like a triple threat. While the game’s numerous mechanics contribute to a bit of a steep learning curve, the sense of freedom you have in approaching each mission is undeniable. I may have died a dozen times but I’m always itching to jump back in to another loop and uncover more of the richly detailed world. The island of Blackreef is a gorgeous canvas straight out of a Warhol in which you decide the brushstrokes. I’m only a couple of hours in but I’m already majorly impressed by its style. The fact that it’s currently 50% off on the PS Store only sweetens the deal our Lead Writer, Tom chose it as one of his favourite picks of the PlayStation Black Friday sale. With a bit of downtime between reviews, I’ve finally picked up a copy of Deathloop, a game I’ve been stoked to play for a long time. I’ll have a full review coming soon, but suffice to say that these classic games deserved a lot more TLC. Characters fall through the ground, rain effects obscure the screen, and the game crashes every 45 minutes. ![]() ![]() I’ve been enjoying the remastered version of Grand Theft Auto 3 in spite of this new release’s problems, but they are quite glaring. This is the gaming equivalent of a celebrity Notes app apology, and to see the usually superconfident Rockstar grovel is a clear sign of just how broken this thing is. The criticism around Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition has become so deafening that Rockstar Games has issued a mea culpa, pledging to fix the collection’s issues. Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition One can only imagine how the experience might be enhanced by illicit substances hey, I’m not your dad! Any Radiohead fan with a PS5, PC or Mac simply must give KID A MNESIA a try. Sequences built around songs ‘How To Disappear Completely’ and ‘You And Whose Army?’ are particularly stunning, where the construct of the exhibit falls away and impressionistic displays of dark beauty envelop you. As you stroll through its corridors, colours and imagery throb in time to familiar fragments of music while glowing lyrics materialise on the walls. Radiohead has constructed a mind-boggling museum for its albums, a place of impossible architecture that would feel right at home in Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar. Stanley Donwood’s artwork has always been an integral part of the experience for Head-heads (as nobody calls us), but in KID A MNESIA his work truly comes alive. The band has been hyping up Kid A Mnesia, a reissue of classic albums Kid A and Amnesiac, but the most impressive piece of the marketing rollout by far is the new KID A MNESIA interactive exhibition. I never expected to see Radiohead cosmetics appear in Fortnite or Fall Guys, but stranger things have happened in 2021. Another week, another Wednesday and boy do we have an eclectic mix of games for you! Here’s what we’re playing this week: Tom – Lead Writer KID A MNESIA ![]()
