A link between worlds
As true section-intro connoisseurs will be aware, we often use this page to try to locate a common thread among the issue’s selection of review games. With Remedy’s Alan Wake 2 in mind, we could perhaps discuss the nature of shared or connected universes – a potential jumping-off point to discuss Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare III and Like A Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name, with The Invincible also teasing the tantalising notion of the Stanislaw Lem Expanded Universe. Or perhaps we could focus instead on metatextuality (though in calling attention to this process, we’re sort of doing that already).
