With swine flu panic gripping the globe, all the headlines are dedicated to the spread of this nasty epidemic.

Advertisement:
But how prepared are we, as gamers, to deal with an outbreak of swine flu over here? Most will see us as an easy target – fat, overweight, lethargic, lazy and any other negative stereotype that are typically associated with gamers.

Not so. We could be the best prepared out of the lot to deal with swine flu, especially those who have put time into the following games…

LEFT 4 DEAD

SKILLS LEARNT: Teamwork, finding rescue vehicles, throwing molotovs, blaming others

Zoe, Louis, Bill and Francis work together to escape the clutches of the infected and scramble inside the back of a rescue vehicle to be carried away to safety.

Granted, you won’t find anything quite as alarming as the Tank parading down your local streets with a runny nose. However, dealing with the Witch – turning all bright lights off and keeping your voice down – will definitely help you deal with loved ones bunged up with the flu.

FALLOUT 3

SKILLS LEARNT: Wearing hazmat suit, stockpiling Med-X, paying inflated medical fees

Okay, so it’s not swine flu that’s been tearing through Fallout 3′s wasteland, but you have to have your hazmat suit ready for the pockets of radiation about. Given the rise of swine flu globally, now isn’t a bad time to get used to the hazmat wearer’s way of seeing the world through a flimsy plastic window in a giant neon growbag.

Also useful: having a constant supply of pills should your radiation increase to worrying levels, avoiding drinking the tap water from public toilets (this is good advice anyway) and learning the location of your nearest doctor in case of emergency.

RESIDENT EVIL 5

SKILLS LEARNT: Co-operation, carrying nine items at a time, punching boulders

To get away from the infected, you might have to get to high places (use a boost jump!), break through doors (both of you kick at the same time!) or revive each other (quick, inject me in the heart!).

You’ll also learn how to quickly go through all the items on your person, while standing still of course. And if there’s ever a situation where you have to stand in a volcano and punch a boulder until it moves, Resident Evil 5 has your back with this too. Unfortunately, the one skill you won’t learn is how to run and shoot at the same time.

FAR CRY 2

SKILLS LEARNT: Healing yourself, dealing with exotic disease, curing exotic disease.

While it’s unlikely you’ll ever have to pick bullets out of your leg because of swine flu, the experience in dealing with malaria that Far Cry 2 gives you could come invaluable.

Staggering about, loss of vision, sweating uncontrollably… it could be an amazing night out, it could be the effects of a fiery vindaloo, it could be malaria or it could be swine flu. Who knows?

SHELLSHOCK 2

SKILLS LEARNT: Not much.

You learn how to fight off the infected in linear areas, as they slowly shuffle towards you with blood dribbling out their mouths and woeful AI dribbling out their brains. You learn how to fight them without too much ammo, although whether you’ll have a gun to begin with or not is another debate for another time. You might even learn how to deal with them should they get into biting range.

No, that’s not why Shellshock 2 is on the list. Instead, this makes the list because playing it will give you a high tolerance for pain, misery and injury. With swine flu sweeping across the globe, that could prove the most invaluable skill of all.

What does the American Dream mean today? For Niko Bellic, fresh off the boat from Europe, it is the hope he can escape his past. For his cousin, Roman, it is the vision that together they can find fortune in Liberty City, gateway to the land of opportunity. As they slip into debt and are dragged into a criminal underworld by a series of shysters, thieves and sociopaths, they discover that the reality is very different from the dream in a city that worships money and sta (more…)

So another weekend gone. Didn’t get up to much, went out Friday with the work guys and had a few drinks.
Weekend was spent trying to get more of the backend stuff sorted out here.

On the gaming front, well this week The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena is out. It has had good reviews, but i have to be honest i am not going to be picking it up. I tried the demo and i just didn’t see enough of an improvement over the old game to make me want to buy it.

I know i should not judge the game on a 10min demo, but that’s Dark Witness for you. If i don’t feel that magic in the first 10 sec chances are i am not going to feel it at all. I am a bit of a graphics whore and that is one area that has to grab my attention which sadly this game didn’t.

AS far as games go, summer time is not the best. I suppose you could liken it to being dragged through the Sahara with enough water to soak a toothbrush. Traditionally that’s how its always been…. until this year. Over the next 3 – 4 months there are going to be some really nice games coming out so i will be giving you the low down on which games i am getting and why.

Unfortunately i don’t get paid for this yet and i don’t get sent the games for free so i won’t be able to review all of them. I will just be buying the games i think are really, really, really worth my £40.

May is just round the corner and my recommended game to get is Bionic Commando.
1. It’s made by capcom who brought us games like; Dead Rising, Lost Planet, RES4 and so far i think they have delivered on their Next gen outings.
2. The game looks quite cool, maybe a bit of an extension to the grapple hook mechanic we saw in lost planet’s gameplay ( if you didn’t like lost planet i am not to sure you will like this game )
