After the The New Order, Machine Games decided to continue their work on the Wolfenstein franchise by taking the series back to its roots with a shorter, action-packed prequel set before the Nazi takeover. But does this stand-alone expansion keep pace with it's retro-future predecessor? Or is it a step backwards in more ways than the time period?
It's been years since the release of Amnesia: The Dark Descent, and even longer since its predecessor, the Penumbra trilogy, came to a close. However, some rare, dedicated savants haven't forgotten the saga that laid groundwork for the 'scariest game ever made', and they have submitted their time and energy to producing a continuation of that story. But the question stands: is it any good?
Since it's debut in 2000, the Deus Ex franchise has wowed and enraptured cyberpunk fans everywhere with its sprawling universe where the actions and choices of the player can change the course of the world and the story in equal measure. Mankind Divided continues the story of the series' third installment, Human Revolution, but does it light the way to a better tomorrow, or is it just a crazy pipe-dream for people who attach too much importance to triangles?
Upon its release, Dead Space set new standards for creativity and atmosphere in the realm of AAA action-horror gaming. Its legacy is still felt even to this day, but does the first installment in the late, great franchise still have what it takes to scare your pants off almost a decade after its original release?
Breaking from years of tradition, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance largely does away with the stealth mechanics of its heritage and embraces high-speed ultra-violence. It's a novel take on the franchise to be certain, but does it hold up under pressure, or has Platinum Games gone too far?
