The December screenings kick off with two of Wyatt’s favorite films, both on 35 mm: Laura, directed by Otto Preminger and starring the magnetic and mysterious Gene Eliza Tierney, and Rear Window, Alfred Hitchcock’s 1954 voyeuristic masterpiece, starring James Stewart and Grace Kelly. Named for the beloved Houston philanthropist and socialite superwoman, the 215-seat theater is equipped to show both digital and reel-to-reel 35 mm films, making it and the MFAH’s Brown Auditorium Theater the only two theaters in Houston with the technology to project classic flicks. 4, the MFAH begins screening films in its new Lynn Wyatt Theater, located on the lower level of the Nancy and Rich Kinder Building for modern and contemporary art. Just remember to leave your brain behind before you get into the campaign’s story.‘TIS THE SEASON, and Houston film fanatics have reason to rejoice.
Army of two split screen Offline#
Since there’s not a whole lot of offline co-op shooters out there, Army of Two is a no-brainer. If you like Co-Op shooters, Army of Two is pretty much a must have. It’s even better that it’s mostly pretty fun. Yay: The fact that you can play split-screen offline co-op in the age of internet only fragfests is a definite bonus. The best uses of Co-Op are probably the dragging and healing, and the step jumps. Who’s ever seen a door in real life like that? What it comes down to, is that it never really feels like you’re working together, it feels more like you are jumping through hoops the programmers laid out to show off their “Co-Op stuff”. Some doors require you each to push a button on either side of the door. There are enemies which you basically can’t kill unless your team-mate fills his aggro meter and you sneak around to shoot the baddie in the ass. Co-op sniping always has certain situations where the enemy is unaware of you with their backs turned. Probably all of the co-op specific mechanics feel too contrived. It can get to the point where you want to hurl your controller sometimes.ģ. Get too close to an enemy, and you’ll often find you won’t be able to shoot at him. Maybe the most frustrating thing can be when you’re fighting in close-quarters. Sometimes you end up fighting with the controls more than the enemy. Superhuman accuracy tends to be a trend in shooters these days.Ģ. Luckily you can take a shitload of hits before you die. An enemy blind-firing from behind cover, half the map away will nail you literally the instant you pop your head orbody out of cover. The enemy AI is simply superhuman when it comes to accuracy, even on the lowest difficulty. The interactions between Salem and Rios can be pretty fun.ġ. Good length for the campaign, especially since you’ll probably want to play through on each difficulty level.ĥ.
Achievements like “Kill 250 enemies with Assault Rifles”, etc, are good incentives to play through using all the different types of weapons.Ĥ. I liked buying and customizing guns, and some guns look REALLY badass when they are pimped.ģ. If you’re into split-screen co-op with a buddy, this game is definitely worth buying.Ģ. Overall fun co-op third person shooter action. ONLY the offline split-screen Co-Op portion of the game is being reviewed here…ġ.
