PIGFACE Preview
2003’s Manhunt is a brutal, gritty title that occupies a strange place in Rockstar’s catalog as something that should be considered the company’s best work, yet it remains overshadowed by their own mega-hit franchises. This bleak, uncompromising meditation on the nature of voyeurism questioned the player’s participation in horrific bloodshed, and has since become something of a cult title — and PIGFACE is certainly one of its descendants.

The Precinct Review
HIGH Solving the serial killer case.
LOW The gunfights.

PREVIEW Into The Dead: Our Darkest Days
It’s not that Zombie Survival is a particularly underserved genre — checking Steam will net you twenty games with ‘zombie’ and ‘survival’ both appearing in the title, with the category of the same name offering options in the hundreds. So, Into the Dead has some competition for the title of ‘most impressive zombie survival game ever’. I would argue, though, that it doesn’t have a lot of competition for that title.
