Bargain Bin Laden #37: Second Sight

Psychic power in videogames was an idea that had not been fully explored by 2004, and still hasn’t been fully whored out, strangely enough. It was a complete and utter shame then, that by some cruel stroke of dastardly coincidence, we ended up with not one, but two games themed around telekinesis, possession and all manner of mind-over-matter shenanigans: Midway’sPsi-Ops, and Free Radical’sSecond Sight. It wasn’t just that they were both psychic-powered games....

Dauntless isn’t exactly Monster Hunter, but it’s as close as PC gamers will get for now

It has the potential, but it’s not quite there yet Ever since its debut on the PlayStation 2 in 2004, I’ve been consistently playing everyMonster Hunterrelease, minus the MMORPG titles. It’s easily one of my favorite co-op franchises, and it has proven to be a great time killer at cons when everyone brings their 3DS to the table. Although PC gamers have similar games likeToukidenandGod Eaterthat are available on Steam, it’s still not the same experience thatMonster Hunteroffers....
