Our own review of Homefront definitely fell close to that mark, citing moments of brilliance, but not enough substance to live up to the hype generated for the game pre-launch. THQ remains optimistic about its controversial new shooter, and maybe it has to be after its stock plummeted 21% to $4....

It uses some pre-made assets. It was made by two people. It’s also too easy most of the time. But y’know what? I don’t care. Because it doesn’t take itself seriously in the least, and it’s unique and a lot of fun....

If you’ve ventured into the quarry in the north of Tunic’s world, you’ve probably noticed that your health bar starts decreasing rapidly when you’re near any of the purple ‘cavities.’ This strange, toxic substance is everywhere, though, and rather than just damaging you, it actually reduces the size of your health bar itself, so even when you heal, you’ll still have significantly less health. In this guide, we’ll show you how to get the Scavenger Mask so you can get through the Quarry in Tunic....
