10 Video Games You Can't Explain Without Sounding Like A Psychopath

Good luck explaining: How ludicrously curse-filled and over-indulgent in male power fantasy everything is. Epic Games' return to first-person shooting following their industry-shaking behemic Gears of War franchise remains one that wasn't just balls out in so much as they were doused in rocket propellant and fired off into space. Somehow this ludicrous feeling that permeates every inch caught the attention of Fox News, who labelled it - much to Epic Games' assured glee - as "The Worst Game In The World", which when you're a channel that purports to take guys like Sean Hannity seriously, is quite the accolade. It's a physics-based euphoric-high of bullets, blood and good times as being that Epic and creative director Cliff Bleszinkski previously cut their teeth on the Unreal Tournament franchise, if there's one thing they know how to deliver on, it's visceral first-person carnage. You basically have three primary ways racking up the points; a hefty straight boot to whatever's in front of you, an electric lasso to pull enemies in from afar, and your arsenal of weapons. However it's with the combination of these and several environmental factors such as spikes, explosives and everything in between where you'll get truly creative; doing things like booting an enemy through a plate-glass window only to lasso them back to you before blasting their legs off with an incredibly gratuitous shotgun blast. Absolute madness, but oh so incredibly satisfying.
