Welcome back to our regular feature highlighting the games you've been enjoying. This week, Dom is back in Gears of War, while Bertie is exploring The Blood of Dawnwalker before saving his family. But let's focus on what you've been playing this week. First, let's revisit God, Horde Siege. Initially, it seemed a bit too contrived compared to the simpler past version of the mode, but the open-ended maps, potential for cross-squad interaction, and emergent moments make it pure video game popcorn movie stuff.
With no other major games releasing soon, you're glad to have another reason to play it. Bert has only one day left before Brencis' coronation, which he's using to save his family from impending doom. In The Blood of Dawnwalker, Bert is immersed in the world, exploring every nook and cranny to uncover more story. He's particularly impressed by the game's storytelling and has made a deal with a vampire witch to learn more about her dark secrets.
Meanwhile, Bert has also been playing Quake 3 in a browser, compiled by AI for a news story. Despite the chaotic gameplay with people spawning on top of each other, Bert couldn't resist the game's enticing nature, reaching the top of the scoreboard.
