Did you know the UK has the next dozen or so storm names already figured out? Following the rather mundane “Dennis” will be Ellen, then Francis and then Gerda, which is a great name! There are a few other bangers in there too: Iris (imagine the puns!), Noah (ironically reincarnated as the storm) and Willow (great to see her working again after Buffy).
The names were crowdsourced last autumn but there are still blanks. The letters Q, U, X, Y and Z still lack associated names, and they’re not the easiest to work with. Any ideas?
Meanwhile, and more to the point, here are five of the best storms in games. Rage on!
It’s impossible to ignore the storm in Spec Ops: The Line, mostly because a very large one is tearing up Dubai. It’s the backdrop for a descent into chaos – cutting off communication with the outside world and funnelling the characters into the city centre, where social order and notions of heroism are stripped away to reveal violent human tendencies underneath. For both the protagonist and the player.
