A game that is just as creepy as it was when it came out in 1999, System Shock 2 perfectly blends RPG elements with action gameplay into a survival horror sci-fi setting. If players don’t mind some rough graphics and glitches, System Shock 2 is a wild ride with an even wilder st

Still, the introduction is somewhat tiresome and the first set of quests aren't anything to write home about. After players obtain few key weapons and clothing items, the game gets more variety in the gameplay departm

Albion even seems to hold claim to its very own version of the Master Sword from The Legend of Zelda. One grave in Fable III reads: "Andrzej Zamoyski 'It's dangerous to go alone. Take this.'" It's not clear who Andrzej Zamoyski is, but his quoted line is iconic from The Legend of Ze

It may seem like only yesterday to some, but it has now been almost four years since the release of the last new Super Mario game. The last time that fans have had to wait this long for a new entry in the series was way back in 2002, with Super Mario Sunshine releasing some six years on from Super Mario 64 . Given that a sequel to Super Mario Odyssey is yet to be officially announced, that unwanted record may well be in jeopa

BW: It does pick right up where issue 150 left off. In the first issue we meet a couple of new characters, and reconnect with some of the old and Hideo Kojima beloved ones. It follows the Wolf family, who’ve decided it’s time to move back to Bigby’s old stomping grounds (which is where the title "The Black Forest" comes from), and it also follows a Fables character we expected not to see again, as she navigates our world which used to be the mundy world, but is now a place of unleashed wild magic. The story’s about growing up, adapting to new ways, and letting go of old things that are past their t

One game is notably missing from this list is Elden Ring . It seems like the general consensus for Elden Ring 's E3 presence is so all over the place that it's hard to say whether or not it will make an appearance. Updates on the game have been few and far between over the last two years, and Bandai Namco already has two upcoming games with release dates to focus on for its showcase: Scarlet Nexus and Tales of Ari

There have been plenty of rumors surrounding BioShock 4 in the past several weeks, mainly regarding its potential status as a PlayStation 5 exclusive. It was only recently announced that BioShock 4 was in development, but leaks and information deduced from job listings have already begun painting a picture of what the game might look like. If the rumors are to be believed and that BioShock 4 is a PS5 exclusive , it's likely that no news would come from E3 2021 about the game. Instead, it would be shown off during a PlayStation showcase completely unaffiliated with E3. Even if it's not an exclusive, BioShock 4 is still so early in development that seeing any footage of it would be highly susp

A man named Meredith Sock writes some books which the player can find in Fable II. His novels are detested throughout Albion, with some choice book titles including (but unfortunately not limited to): "Cold Lips," "Norm and Aggie," "Objection! Overruled!," "Megafowl: The Sword is Mightier than the Hen," and "Megafowl 2: Revenge of the H

The first game is a bit different from the following two, focusing more on decision-making and building the universe and characters. The combat and alchemy are significantly different from the other games and take a rough few hours to really get used to, but the amazing plot alone is worth the playthro

BW: Batman vs Bigby was written with the idea that some of the readers will be new to Bigby and Fables. Everything essential that you need to know is already cooked into the story. You don’t need to be Fables-wise to fully enjoy it. But that’s not to say a reader couldn’t enhance the experience by starting to read Fables too. In fact, I hope many new readers will be inspired to come to Fables as a result of this t

The first sections of the game are pretty basic as far a WRPG shooters go with introducing the gameplay and characters, but it is still a bore and tends to drag for the first few hours. After a few more areas of the map open up and cooler guns unlock, the game starts to look more like the Borderlands fans have come to know and l

While the changes to gameplay have been welcomed by fans as years have gone on, the long introduction and slow starting story have been a thorn in the sides of many die-hards since it first came out in 2

Western RPGs have a special place in many gamers hearts. Some grew up playing them while others got into them later in their gaming careers. It's hard to deny the alluring elements of WRPGs, from intricate customizations to the addicting gamep

**SR: If fans have found Fables in trade paperbacks, or even the acclaimed video game, that "Issue #151" on the cover is going to seem daunting. Do you take new readers into account even more in this situation? Do the preceding books help you to draw in new audiences
