The Halo Series on Paramount+ Review On today's episode of Grief Burrito Hazz is joined by Ryan from Kidnapped by Wizards to discuss their thoughts on the entire first season of Halo; the new original series on Paramount+ (using Amazon Prime for us UK viewers). The Halo Series story takes place in what’s called the Silver Timeline, it stands in its own canon from the games and is an alternative telling. Following Master Chief (played by Pablo Schreiber), Kwan Ha (Yerin Ha), Miranda Keyes (Olive Gray), Danny Sapani as Captain Keyes, fan favourites Kate Kennedy as Kai -125 and the voice of Jen Taylor back as Cortana. The man in the big green Mjolnir Armor must do all he can to protect one and seek out another Forerunner Artifact before The Covenant led by brainwashed human Makee (played by Charlie Murphy) can find it.  Not before Dr. Catherine Halsey, played incredibly by Natasha McElhone and Margaret Parangosky will do all they can to twist John-117 to their will. In Part One we discuss our overall thoughts on

Dead Space 2 diverts from Dead Space 1 and how it scares the player. Dead Space 1, The Xbox 360 game felt more like a ghost train, more quiet areas, focusing more on creeping round corners to suddenly be pounced on by Necromorphs. The first game felt like it had shooting and dismemberment as a survival tool as well as a storytelling mechanic. Dead Space 2 in comparison though, is more interested in panic. It’s more full on and it drives the player to panic through areas of combat and fear by throwing waves of Necromorphs in their path. Returning to The Ishimura... must be one of the most horrific experiences we've had in games... Isaac Clarke awakens aboard The Sprawl; A floating space colony built into the remains of the moon of Titan circling Saturn only to find himself in the midst of a second Necromorph rampage.

Another World, the classic 1991 cinematic platform adventure game is relaxing, punishing, and brilliant! Watch the first episode of our playthrough here! In the year 1991, a solo indie developer called Éric Chahi released what could be one of the most iconic one-man games ever to be released for the Amiga & Atari ST. The game tells the story of a young scientist by the name of Lester who is transported to "Another World" when an experiment goes wrong. The adventure is filled with dangerous creatures that will transport your mind Out of This World! One of the amazing things about this game is that not only did Chahi develop the game alone but he also created his own GAME ENGINE to run the adventure. He crafted his own visual art style from vectors to help reduce memory and even used rotoscoping to plan out Lester's and other characters' animations. The game is a fascinating blend of slow build atmospherics and incredible cinematics for such an old game. Its use of little to no dialogue to tell the st
