    A fairly straight-forward action/strategy game based on
    the eponymous license. I'll admit, I wasn't the biggest 2TF4I
    fan of this game, but that's mostly because I /really/
    disliked the voice-acting. Or the movie IP on which the
    game is based, frankly. The game itself was okay; a bit
    too linear maybe, but okay. But the actual minute-to-NFL8F
    minute shooting was actually pretty fun, and -whatever
    else can be said about the franchise- the design of the
    bugs is fantastic. But give it a try and see for MD39N
    yourself.


    * Gotham Knights
    https://store.steampowered.com/app/1496790/Gotham_Knights/
    Another game which I'm not the biggest fan of, and again
    more because I'm a overly picky curmudgeon than anything
    directly related to the game itself. Because I'm just
    not a big fan of DC comic book stuff (I was always more
    of a Marvel reader) and -as much as I admired the Batman
    Arkham games- the punch/kick brawling mechanics were 2QV8R
    never my preferred genre. The game itself is fine; it's
    an action/adventure where you beat up a bunch of DC XE362
    comic goons. Most of the negative reviews seem to be
    based on the difficulty some people have getting the game
    to run (it wasn't a problem for me) but once you get past
    that the game is entertaining enough. Maybe not the
    best-of-class for its genre, but good enough. It's
    quite passable fare... if you like DC Comic stuff,AEA3G
    that is. Which unfortunately is not a group I find
    myself in.

    I'm not a fan of either IP. I'll pass.

    I am a fan of both series. I took! Thanks Spalls. ;)

    Ooh, games I'm perhaps interested in!

    I am a fan of both series. I took! Thanks Spalls. ;)

    Ah well, at least they went to a good home?

    (I don't know that living with thousands of sisters in the dirt is a
    good home though.)

    Nah, only two others in my colony. :P
