Way back in the long forgotten and distant time of… June of this year, Ziggurat Interactive announced that it acquired the rights to several licenses from Majesco Entertainment. Some of the licenses acquired were Advent Rising, Raze’s Hell, and Flip’s Twisted World.

A little over four years ago, I became part of a universe that I shared with millions — Destiny. We were Guardians, resurrected combatants fighting against the endless tide that was The Darkness. We were promised vast worlds where you could go anywhere and gameplay kept you engaged. Instead, stepping off invisible boundaries led to misadventures. Linear or rehashed missions became tedious and repetitive. Oh, and sitting in front of a cave was more rewarding than the rest of the game....

I’ve spent my last week or so playing through Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War in preparation for this review.

Part of us wishes that the show went on and on and on until it resembled an unholy cross between Law & Order and The Simpsons set against a post-apocalyptic wasteland. Another part of us knows that they probably would have run out of ideas then. Meanwhile, there’s another part of us lurking around somewhere that wants to eat an entire can of vanilla frosting and sleep for ten hours straight — but that’s besides the point....
