Calendar of Cool: Fuse

Okay, so this game looks a little different than it did back in June of 2011 when Insomniac announced it as OverStrike, but so what?   I'm a little sad that it lost its sense of humor but otherwise it seems similar enough to be a solid co-operative third-person shooter.  And with a list of FPS games a mile long I have no interest in playing, I can only view a game like Fuse as a good thing.

The main thing that seems to differentiate OverStrike from Fuse is that while OverStrike seemed to focus on the quirky foursome you get to play as, Fuse seems to place a much larger emphasis on the battle over a strange alien compound capable of a number of applications (including powering the imaginary tech your protagonists use) known as, you guessed it "Fuse".

The game play so far looks solid, with each character having a completely different style from the others.  Check it out if you haven't, below:



Fuse comes out on PS3 and XBox 360 May 28th.  (Now I just have to figure out how I'm going to pay for it....)

Bottom of the Pile: Apr. 8, 2015

Astro City As usual, Kurt Busiek's Astro City is creatively solid--following a superhero who's made his home on an alien planet, and has to learn to accept when it's time to hand the job over to the next generation.  It's almost the opposite of what happened with Crackerjack and Quarrel.  That said: I've been a denizen of the interwebs for nearly two decades now, and this still might be a strong contender for grossest sexual advance ever.
