PC Games:
There were three games released on PC on March Twenty-Firsts of the past. Two, in particular, stood out to me The Godfather and Mass Effect: Andromeda.
The Godfather
Released in 2006, The Godfather: The Game is an adaptation of the first film in the infamous series. Taking place in New York in the 1930s, players will complete eighteen missions whilst taking on the rival five family’s assets and the occasional contract hit. What’s more, the game features the voices of hit actors from the film including James Caan, Robert Duvall, and Abe Vigoda.
Mass Effect: Andromeda
Released in 2017, Mass Effect: Andromeda will take players out of this galaxy. In the Andromeda galaxy, players will be tasked with the duty of leading the plight for a new home in hostile territory. Take control of Pathfinder – the leader of the group of military-traded space explorers – your choices will ultimately affect humanity’s fight for survival.
