I Played the Donald Trump Arcade Game and It's Perfectly Savage

You see, the Pope has a buff that makes him impervious. You-as the protagonist, President Donald Trump-cannot beat him unless you backtrack to the dungeon entrance and say a prayer with Pete Hegseth. This will unlock "2 Corinthians," a spell that renders the Pope vulnerable to special attacks like "Mar-a-Lazer" and "The Power Grab." When I beat the Pope and collected a barrel of Iranian oil as a prize, I told my editors my overdue draft of another story would be submitted later.

Better Than Dead: A Hyper-Realistic And Janky Bodycam FPS

Because of that experience, I know that new revenge shooter Better Than Dead, out now on Steam, has some of the most realistic-looking gunplay I've ever seen in a game. In fact, it sometimes looks and sounds so real that I almost feel a little gross playing the newly released bodycam FPS. But unlike those videos on LiveLeak, Better Than Dead is a video game featuring faceless, digital baddies. So I can enjoy the action movie amount of carnage and the tense, heart-pounding gunplay found in each level.
