Friends! Gamers! Casuals! Lend me your eyes, ears, thumbs and other required organs for this (in no particular order) list of my favorite gaming shooters that got me into more high-level stuff as time went on. There are some mild ad-insertions, but all opinions expressed here are purely my own.

This is only limited to game’s I’ve currently played, but hopefully I’ll get into more of the greats later on sometime. Someday. Over the rainbo- LET’S DO THIS!

5: BroForce! To paraphrase Ben “Yahtzee” Croshaw of ‘Zero Punctuation’ fame, “I like shooting games, but I’m not very good at them. It’s opposite to the problem I have with blowjobs”. So lucky for me, BroForce is very much an ‘easy to learn, difficult to master’ experience, largely thanks to being a 2D platformer, so if you’ve ever played a Mario game, you’ll pick up the basic controls quickly. The characters being funny parodies of 80s action hero machismo also adds to an overall fun aesthetic and experience. I still howl with laughter every time the narrator shares his thoughts on “CamBROdia” or “RamBRO”.

Fortnite? More Like 4 t’nite: Yes, it can take a little while to get used to considering many players are of a decently high skill, but once you’ve had time to experiment with the different guns and such, there are three main tips I recommend to give you an edge.

First: Make like Obi-Wan-Kenobi and have the high ground! Once you’ve mined some material, flip to the ramp as your default building tool. That way, you can protect yourself, while making it harder for the other bloke to reach up at you.

Second: Make like the US education system and get into shootings regularly! Land at the first semi-crowded area, grab a half-decent boomstick or dom-machine-gun and rinse and repeat until you start getting better. Like percussive maintenance, but for people!

Third? We’ve got a metric fluff-tonne of Fortnite merch, feel free to have a butcher’s at it here!

3: The Last of “Ughs”: The story is a great one and even suitably tense at times, but The Last of Us is also a favorite shooter of mine because the campaign encourages slow methodical strategy. Sure, you can go guns-blazing if you’re good enough and have upgraded weapons, but in a first run-through, you’ll have to rely on stealth and keeping your distance just as much brawls and shootouts. The story’s tutorial sections are also helpful and fit in well with rewarding the player for taking their time analyzing the terrain and taking inventory. Check our store if you want TLOU Remastered or Part 2!

2: Rad-Dad Redacted 2: Electric Boogaloo! Which is to say, yes. The game with the well-written flexible cowboy story and a worship of believable design to the point of realistically-implemented physics of horse bollocks happens to have decent gun-play too. The aim-assist is handy and the kick-back of different guns chunky like Moto Moto drenched in Marinara sauce!

1: Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain! In the immortal words of the blokes form Cracked, “it’s like this game was made by a genius toddler”. Aim assist? Boom. A huge array of tools and weapons that’d make Doom Guy blush? You know it. Temporary slow-down-time Matrix powers that make stealth and action equally valid? Oddly specific, but YOU GOT IT! And forget realistically-shrinking horse-balls, your horse’s droppings can act as anti-vehicle mines that distract the driver long enough for you to highjack it for yourself!

Broke: Horse balls.

Woke: Tactical Manure Action!

Howdy folks. Thunderful Games recently dropped a trailer for their latest addition to the SteamWorld series, SteamWorld HeadHunter. Not to be confused with Steam, the online gaming store that it may also be coming to… Or steam the gaseous state for that matter.

SteamWorld HeadHunter appears to be a western-meets-steampunk action game seeing the player take on the role of either a robo-cowboy with a monopoly mustache or a disembodied techno face-hugger.

The developers at Image and Form have worked on past SteamWorld installments including Dig, Heist and Tower Defense, ALL OF THE RACES-

As you can tell from the titles listed above, the series has a penchant for jingle-jangling up to a different gameplay format with each installment. The series has touched on Metroidvanias, turn-based tactics, RPG deck-building and more. Thunderful Games also had an epic 2021 gaming showcase today featuring MARK HAMILL! Instant 10 out of 10 for anything and everything releasing from them right there.

HeadHunter is confirmed to be a third-person action-adventure with co-op gameplay. So as far as I can tell, this will likely go one of two ways. One is standardized Red Dead Redemption 2 online gameplay where you and your posse can roll up to the wastelands and gank on an enemy stronghold (psst! Got a great deal for RDR2 over here). Alternatively, maybe we’ll see Mario Odyssey or Galaxy style co-op where one of you is the cowboy, the other bloke is the head and then wacky shenanigans ensue where you’ll be making childish double entendres about trying to get some head… Of lettuce, MU HA HA.

As for graphics, considering Image and Form have previously worked on The Gunk, a 4k resolution title releasing next month, fairly safe to say that combined with the trailer that SteamWorld Head Hunter will be a good-looking new take on the series. If Gunk sticks the landing gameplay-wise, then it will likely go a long way to supporting development for SteamWorld HeadHunter if it’s successful.

In other news, Mario Party Superstars recently dropped, including the vast majority of minigames across past Mario Party titles. Have a butcher’s at our store if you’re interested or our past articles on the game’s revival of past mechanics, covering the online leakage scandal and the trailer.
