Lost Planet was an amazing graphical showcase back in the day so it may be interesting to look at again just to compare

Lost Planet games have some weird transitory controls to third person shooters from a more arcadey kind of layout and has some brutally punishing penalty for getting hit by things. Its extremely its era by playfeel alone.

When that list says (Windows) does that mean just the Windows version is leaving?

That's what I thought at first, but I'm not sure why the PC rights would different than console since it hasn't been like in the past. So it probably means it is leaving everything. In short this is not a helpful reply sorry.

Does the 360 version of Crazy Taxi have the song All I Want by Offspring?
No, the 360/PS3/Steam port removed the licensed soundtrack in favor of generic punky instrumentals. The various product-placement drop-off locations like Pizza Hut have also been genericized or removed.

I played Undertale for the first time this year, but had heard of it. Haven't heard of this one ever. But I don't exactly have my finger on the pulse of the world of gaming.

You might need to fiddle with some of the options in Timesplitters 2 because the controls are pretty archaic and one of them I can't remember which improved the smoothness of the aiming.

What a messy franchise that I really wanted to like the two games a lot more than I did.

I have an irrational dislike of Max Payne 3 based on my love for 1-2. Great gunplay but it’s just…..not Max Payne. And Dan Houser and co’s version of the hard-boiled narration is abominably terrible even for satire and doesn’t hold a candle to Sam Lake’s writing. They shoulda just made it an original thing imo

Its better than MP 1 or 2, or, well, would have been if the goddamn cutscenes were skippable.

It certainly plays better, I would never argue against that. But so much of what I loved about 1-2, the tone and ambience and noir, is just gone.

They're Japanese visual novels. Not dissimilar to Ace Attorney (Phoenix Wright). They're popular within that genre for a reason, but if you're not into that kind of thing, they aren't going to change your mind.
