Party Of Sin

Season Of Sin

The last few stragglers on the 2012 release calendar have our columnist feeling nostalgic.

Hawken
PC—December 12

Man, this game brings back memories. I haven’t walked around in a fully mechanized suit of armor firing bullets at turrets since my Bar Mitzvah. Hey, it was my theme. And my voice STILL cracked during the V’Ahavta!

Party Of Sin
PC—December 13

Playing as each of the seven deadly sins, you must solve puzzles and escape Hell. Worried that an intangible concept like “envy” won’t lend itself to an active platformer? Worry no more, because in Party Of Sin, Envy can shoot green lasers from her eyes. I liked her better when the lasers were internal, and they could only be defeated by copious amounts of alcohol. My Bar Mitzvah was really something else.

Haunted
PC—December 11

In this spooky game, you read from ancient tomes given to you by religious leaders while wearing ornate neckwear. Sorry, I’m not seeing any Bar Mitzvah parallels.
