Story
A game’s story is often an integral factor when deciding what game you want. Maybe you like something more thought-provoking, or perhaps something a bit more nonsensical that just lets you tear through endless hoards of enemies. The Last Guardian definitely falls under the first category, placing you into the shoes of a young boy who has been torn from his home and placed in a mysterious castle with a large beast. If Fumito Ueda’s previous games, Ico and Shadow of the Colossus, are anything to go by, you can expect a tale that explores two very different characters as they learn to rely on one another to complete their quest.
Dead Rising 4 is definitely of the more nonsensical variety, although that doesn’t mean its story is a throwaway. You once again take on the role of Frank West – photographer, survivor, badass. It’s time to return to Willamette Colorado during the holidays, and revisit that mall that started it all. You’ll have to work to uncover what started this latest zombie outbreak, thankfully with no timer this time around.
