This week I brought home an exciting mix of stuff, seriously, this Haul contains just about everything. Kicking things off is Fortune and Glory, created by Jason C. Hill and published by Flying Frog Productions. I've wanted this game for quite a while and finally managed to get my hands on it. The game casts players as one of several pulp characters. The object of the game is to track down and acquire artifacts faster than your opponents. Although it has a steep learning curve Fortune and Glory has something to offer almost any type of player, featuring competitive, team, cooperative, and even solo game types. And you get to beat up Nazis or Mobsters, what's not to love?
Next is Dying Light, developed by Techland and published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. Improvised weapons, parkour, and zombies; that just about sums it up. Dying Light features zombies that, during the day are slow and easy to deal with but at night become much more formidable enemies. Players have to use a combination of salvaged weapons, traps, and the environment to survive the hordes of zombies sent their way.
Antoine Fuqua reunited with his Training Day star to bring us 2014's The Equalizer starring Denzel Washington. Although every Fuqua movie couldn't be called a classic they are generally pretty entertaining. Denzel has seemed to get a little too comfortable playing the same two or three characters over and over, but the trailers for this one make it look like that's exactly what the role calls for.
Finally, on to the comics. The pull list was a little light this week, but there's always something to get. Batman #38 by Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo, Danny Miki and FCO Plascencia, and Tomb Raider #12 by Rhianna Pratchett, Gail Simone and Nicolas Daniel Selma round out this week's Haul.
