It’s something of a shame that there’s some wonderful throwback first-person-shooters that don’t quite escape the PC’s gravitational pull. Even when some do make it across, I often wonder about the quality of the ports and controllers just don’t have the precision of a mouse. With that in mind, I finally checked out Turbo Overkill, Trigger Happy Interactive’s love letter to genre. The story takes place within a cyberpunk dystopia called Paradise.

Even though we haven’t covered Killing Floor 3 all that much, please don’t mistake that for a lack of enthusiasm. Killing Floor 2 is one of my all-time favorite co-op shooters, and I thought the Killing Floor 3 closed beta was pretty terrific. Some other players must’ve had a different impression, however, providing lots of constructive criticism to Tripwire, the series developer.
