How Can Control 2 Live Up To The First Game?

I tend to think of theMafiaseries as a sleeping giant. Something akin toMax Payne- a critically revered, cult classic hit machine that just needs to be awoken, as it will be this year withThe Old Country. But the numbers don’t point to that.

The first Mafia did rise from 66 to a still not that impressive 78 with theDefinitive Edition, but Mafia 2 dropped two points to 72, so there’s no way to spin this that looks like comfortable reading....

Metro Awakening Review: Time To Get Lost In The Tunnels

Interactivity is paramount when it comes to virtual reality. If you place me in an environment where my curiosity isn’t immediately rewarded with objects I can pick up and tinker with, it’s only a matter of time until I look around and begin to realise the limitations of the medium. Half-Life: Alyxcombatted this problem with the gravity gloves, an accessory that allowed the player to pick up any and all objects from a distance with a flick of their wrist, removing much of the tedium that came from navigating a larger space in VR....
