I have little doubt that Vermintide II is the VASTLY superior game. -

@Emblazon @Triage @HalfJoey @CitizenVectron @TheLeon @ARZ Some reviews are in: PC Gamer - 74% While calling Earthfall derivative of Left 4 Dead might even be an understatement, it's an entertaining variation on that theme with a great extra layer of map control added by the barricade system. I wish it had pushed harder to differentiate itself, especially in the design of special enemies. But if you’re looking to satisfy your co-op horde shooter craving with Left 4 Dead 3 still nowhere on the immediate horizon, you could certainly do a lot worse. COGconnected - 45% The most frustrating thing about Earthfall is that it squanders its potential at every turn. From subpar graphics and gameplay mechanics to a story that’s been told a thousand times before, and a complete lack of game variety this alien shooter could have been a lot more fun. Earthfall is at its best when you play with three other friends taking nothing seriously and just killing a bunch of aliens. If you stay at the same objective, aliens will keep spawning, so you can make your own little endless wave mode. Bottom line, there’s a decent foundation here that just isn’t well executed, and that’s disappointing. As it stands right now, Earthfall isn’t exactly worth it’s $29.99 USD price tag, though if Holospark tightens up the areas that bring the whole game down, it might be worth revisiting later on. Push Square - 30% There’s still a lot of potential to be realised in a Left 4 Dead-like experience, but Earthfall is a complete miss. It fails to build upon the foundations abandoned by Valve, with repetitive AI spawns and an arsenal of weaponry that does nothing to distinguish themselves from one another. And with just four hours of content to work through, you’ll be left feeling short-changed by an experience that gives you no reason to return once the credits roll. The Sixth Axis - 40% I’m all for taking the spirit of a beloved classic and bringing it up to date, but you have to be prepared to be judged utterly against that original game. Under the right circumstances Earthfall is capable of capturing the frantic teamwork of Left 4 Dead, but there’s too much wrong here to maintain it for long. IGN - 55% Earthfall's co-op shooting gets repetitive quickly due to a lack of randomization or progression and it never injects enough new ideas into the Left 4 Dead blueprint to be interesting. Parts of Earthfall present a certain charm, and the co-op shooting experience could certainly be fun with the right group of friends. But it’s hard to get away from the fact that Earthfall is a lesser incarnation of a decade-old game, with fewer modes and missions, at a higher price. Game Informer - 50% Earthfall just isn’t fun. The game has a solid foundation but that structure doesn’t hold anything that’s entertaining or interesting enough to merit the effort of playing it, especially when there are already several superior games that inhabit the same subgenre. -
Sure it does. The manual is also sold separately for players who already have minis that they're gonna use and don't need the core set.

Yes - I'm just assuming that there is in fact a new Tool album coming. -

Those were definitely circulating, but Sega never pursued legal action.

Gearbox, the developers behind Colonial Marines, are understandably a little sheepish about the whole thing. Rest assured the studio is taking steps to make sure it never happens again. A recent job posting for a "programming copy editor" ought to prevent future tragedies like this.

Nearly 1,800 Amazon workers in Spain went on strike Monday during Prime Day, which has quickly grown into the company’s biggest sales day of the year. Thousands more Amazon employees in Germany are expected to walk off the job Tuesday, the second day of the 36-hour sale, for similar reasons. The unions that represent the warehouse workers, Comisiones Obreras and Verdi services union, say they are calling for better working conditions, pay and health benefits.
