This week Graham, Tom F and Tom S and talk about manipulating Uruks in the grassy second half of Shadow of Mordor, being manipulated into giving EA money in FIFA Ultimate Team, being funnelled into 720p corridors in Final Fantasy XIII, bad games with good personality, good games with bad sequels, and bad games with good mods.
- Literally suplexing a literal ghost train in Final Fantasy VI.
- Even decapitation is not the end for Uruk captains in Shordor of Mordor.
- Here is a video of a man digitally opening packs of imaginary cards referring to real footballers that has been watched by 2.3 million people, for 18 human-years of watching-that time.
- Robin Walker’s talk about Valve’s approach to keeping the TF2 community excitedly chattering.
- Tom F’s review of Hitman: Absolution, an OK stealth game but a terrible sequel to Blood Money.
