Aaron and Eric - The worst thing to happen to The Walking Dead?

(Just a warning, this post may contain spoilers for the past episode of The Walking Dead)
In the latest episode of The Walking Dead, we were introduced to two new characters originating from the comics in the form of Aaron and Eric. Now we're used to being introduced to new characters frequently on the show, with them coming and going quite quick. However something about these characters has set the Internet ablaze with comments ranging from the Men who think everything is to please them, to the plain idiotic comments of those who don't understand love.

Of course the first Tweet there wouldn't mind Lesbians because he is a Hetrosexual man who thinks everything has to be written to take in their sexual desires and portray them in that way. God forbid however The Walking Dead shows people as they would be in real life loving each other. This all stems from a show where people get their throats ripped out, heads bashed in, rape, torture, cannibalism and numerous other disgusting things, but this is what turns people off. The picture of two men in love with each other, worried they had lost one of the only things they had left in the post apocalyptic world. Just to show you some of the other tweets that have been made:

Now I don't know if these people are mentally inept or just plain fucking retarded but only now they decide they are going to turn off from The Walking Dead that it has shown a homosexual couple kissing? Do they not remember that Tara and Alisha, the LESBIAN couple from prior in the show? Either these people have incredible memory loss, or its just cause it doesn't fit in to their 

Misogynistic lifestyle where everything is to please men.

It may just be me but do these people also not realise that this entire show is based off a comic series where all of these characters come from? Maybe if they took a minute out of their (most likely) couch potato set lifestyle and looked in to the show, these characters have been around long before they were in the show and just because you've seen it now it bothers you. Overall I think its about damn time people learned to grow up and accept that love is love no matter who the hell you fall in love with. The gays don't get angry when it shows straight people kissing, or having sex in the show, so maybe sit your arses back down in those benefit paid seats of yours and get over it.

Rogue Legacy - The best game from PS Plus yet

Being subscribed to PSN+, I get given a few free games every month, but none that really last all that long in terms of game play. Sure you get the occasional AAA title but you get a lot of Indies come through there too, not all which live up to expectations or any sort of fun. So when the PS Plus update for February went live I didn't expect much from the game on offer, until I began playing Rogue Legacy. Thinking to myself 'oh this will give me a few hours of game play to cure my boredom temporarily' but what came from it was something I wasn't expecting at all.

With its rather quirky setup, old school play style and unique death system, I was gripped. With each character having traits which effect how you play through the game, it is different everytime. From having characters who have dwarfism, to being far-sighted or having ADHD, this game kept things feeling fresh each playthrough. One of my favourite things about the game was how it dealt with character death and progression. Going through the game you collect gold from defeated enemies or from breaking the scenery around you, doing so allows you to purchase upgrades for yourself to get further through the dungeon. However upon your death, that character becomes a gallery picture for your profile, showing how many deaths you have been through. Upon starting again, you are given the choice for a new heir to take on the quest.

Again, this new character will have completely different Traits from your previous one and different classes which are unlocked as you progress through the skill tree displayed as your castle. I found myself lost in the game for the next few weeks after downloading, determined to make my way through the four different stages of the Castle and collect everything. The game offers varying difficulty as you make your way through the areas, giving different enemies or powered up versions of previous encounters. Once you complete the game, you can go in to a New Game + mode, keeping all of your previous weapons/armor/runes and upgrades to fight through the castle again, this time with tougher enemies from the start, and this theme continues as you beat the game again. 

Overall this game simply put is one of the best things to have come from my subscription to Playstation Plus and if you aren't subscribed yet, I would do so simply to get this game. 

Pros:
- Simple but challenging game play
- Brilliant progressions system
- More than a few hours gameplay

Cons:
- Outdated Graphics
- Leaves you feeling empty on finishing due to wanting more
- Occasional annoyance when you can't defeat bosses


Overall - 8/10

Episodic Games, are they worth the wait?

With the release of the first episode of Resident Evil Revelations 2 this week, I find myself wondering about the episodic format it is being released in and why so many games are doing it recently. With Resident Evil being my favorite game series (despite its lack of luster the past few titles) I'm thinking to myself why would they does this and break the game apart in to mini parts, rather than a large game as a whole? My reasoning against this is simple, surely it would break up the speed and immersion of the game by releasing it weekly instead of in one big go? It's hard to understand why they would suddenly change their stance to this.

Granted this adds an extra suspense feeling to a series that is lacking in the survival horror of its predecessors, but why couldn't this be added in through the old methods used with limited ammo and jump scare moments? Does anybody else remember having to try to fight the Tyrants of Resident Evil 2 with such limited ammo you ended up using your knife or running past zombies knowing you'll need that ammo for later? Now I understand with each episode you'll be getting a portion of the story and some additions for the mercenaries side game but to me, it seems a little broken off to keep the story in portions. From what I understand of the release, it will be in four episodes, switching between Claire and Barry respectively, until the full disc release in March.

This isn't the first time this has happened however within the gaming industry. Some recent examples in the form of TellTales Walking Dead series, and the Siren: Blood Curse game, both of which have released episodically. Admittedly I haven't played the Walking Dead title however I did play Siren, which I found the episodes really did nothing but hinder progress throughout the game and didn't leave me wanting more. However this could possibly be down to the game itself being less than outstanding.

I am in high hopes the episodic format doesn't let Resident Evil down and it will prove itself to be as fantastic of a title that Revelations was before it. I'm going to be holding out until next month to get the full disc version to add to my collection however because who doesn't love a physical disc compared to a digital download? What will you be getting the game and what do you think of it so far? Let us know in the comments below!
