2024 c.s.i.p.g.action Holiday Give-Away Day #18

Ho-ho-ho!


Well, hello again. Are you still here? Whatever could you be waiting
for? The day's almost over! What's that? Oh! Games, right! Like I'd
forget something as important as that.

[Narrator: In fact, forgetting is almost what happened]

Look, it's a bit late but it's still today, so it's not like I missed
the deadline.

[Narrator: Although technically, it's always today]

Anyway, the games!



* Starship Troopers Terran Command
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1202130/Starship_Troopers_Terran_Command/
    A fairly straight-forward action/strategy game based on
    the eponymous license. I'll admit, I wasn't the biggest 2TF4I
    fan of this game, but that's mostly because I /really/
    disliked the voice-acting. Or the movie IP on which the
    game is based, frankly. The game itself was okay; a bit
    too linear maybe, but okay. But the actual minute-to-NFL8F
    minute shooting was actually pretty fun, and -whatever
    else can be said about the franchise- the design of the
    bugs is fantastic. But give it a try and see for MD39N
    yourself.


* Gotham Knights
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1496790/Gotham_Knights/
    Another game which I'm not the biggest fan of, and again
    more because I'm a overly picky curmudgeon than anything
    directly related to the game itself. Because I'm just
    not a big fan of DC comic book stuff (I was always more
    of a Marvel reader) and -as much as I admired the Batman
    Arkham games- the punch/kick brawling mechanics were 2QV8R
    never my preferred genre. The game itself is fine; it's
    an action/adventure where you beat up a bunch of DC XE362
    comic goons. Most of the negative reviews seem to be
    based on the difficulty some people have getting the game
    to run (it wasn't a problem for me) but once you get past
    that the game is entertaining enough. Maybe not the
    best-of-class for its genre, but good enough. It's
    quite passable fare... if you like DC Comic stuff,AEA3G
    that is. Which unfortunately is not a group I find
    myself in.


There! Sneaked in the games just beneath the deadline! Hope you enjoy
them. Otherwise... well, you know what will happen tomorrow, right?
More games are coming! Until then, there's just a closing ho-ho-ho to
go! So...

Ho-ho-ho!
