Description
Vanquish was originally released in 2010 for Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. It was a product of its time, in that it felt like a response tomaybe even a subversion ofthe wave of cover based shooters that emerged in the wake of Gears of War. It's got the third person view and the waist high walls, but also lets you rocket slide across the map, slow-mo decapitating robots as you go. It's a dumb, brash shooter, but clever with it.
You play as Sam Gideon, a generic videogame protagonist in a battle suit. Sam works for DARPA, and is deployed to the space colony Providence after it's attacked by Russians and used to microwave the residents of San Francisco into oblivion. That's almost more than you need to do: Vanquish's story is a bit of a mess, but at least has the good sense to, for the most part, keep out of the way of the action.
