Review: Some of you reading this might remember ‘MSI Electric City‘ which was a non-interactive ride through a sci-fi inspired city, but it was basically little more than an advert for VR ready PC’s, but it looked cool. While ‘MSI Electric City: Core Assault’ might have the same name and is set in the same sci-fi styled city it has nothing to do with the original and is in fact a real game! OK, so it’s little more than a static space shooter this is also kind of an advert for the same thing, but at least you can play it! It’s free, it’s boring, but its a little bit more fun than the original ‘MSI Electric City’ was, so maybe give it a look and let me know what you thought about this game in the comments below. It’s just a good job this game is free as any cost would have put me off recommending it.
