Game of the Show: Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition

Published by Ubisoft Quebec, MSRP $60, Buy on Epic

OK so imagine Duke Nukem and serious Sam walking into a bar, have a wonderful night together and 9 months later comes out the most beautiful, rough, cheesy and entertaining baby ever - and their name is Bulletstorm.

This game has a cheesy story (you are a mercenary, hunting down your former boss because he sent you to do bad stuff to good people), cheesy companions, lots of f-bombs and it’s super junk food, but it’s also amazing junk food (the one without the guilt).

The coolest system in the game is the battle combo system which gives you combo points based on how you fight (very creative, GET OVER HERE included) and you can use the points to hook up to machines and buy ammo, upgrades and unlock guns. Enemies are very anatomy accurate so there’s a lot of creativity to be had.

(talk about amazing unexpected stuff like the sniper rifle, every rifle has normal and ‘upgraded’ mode).

(talk about multiplayer)

(bonus - talk about tour mode)
