Valkryria Chronicles!!! Wait…..Valkyria Chronicles??? Really? In the scale of things likely to happen, a PC port of Valkyria Chronicles coming out in 2014 has to be directly under World of Warcraft becoming a first-person shooter. Don’t get me wrong, the original 2008 version for PS3 was beloved by many, but...
With media coverage extensive as it is these days, it is increasingly rare when a video game comes out where I am able to approach it with absolutely no preconceived impressions. Such is the case for MXGP. The last two wheel racer I’d played was probably something in the MX...
Back when the Xbox 360 was released I loved checking out games in the arcade section of the Xbox Live Arcade store. Our household quickly became addicted to a twin-stick shooter called Geometry Wars. It was fast, flashy, and very addicting to try to reach even higher scores. A sequel...
Of course the comparison isn’t really a fair one because Temple of Osiris is a completely different kind of gaming experience all together. Many will simply pass over Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris this holiday season and when they do, they are making a mistake as this was...
I recently wrote a preview for This War of Mine in which I referred to it as an Empathy Simulator. Like Cart Life and Papers Please, these games aren’t meant to be “won” in the traditional sense. Their goal is rather to give you an experience and make you understand just for...
Far Cry 4
Badgers and tigers and bears, oh my! Far Cry is back and deadlier than ever on the latest generation of consoles. What this iteration may lack in new features, it absolutely makes up for with improved content and a beautiful world. Players are once again dropped into a hostile wilderness...
Terraria
Being a 2D game, its graphics are quite simple but the simplicity does give way to massive environments that are fully explorable. These lands contain all sorts of surprises, even huge monsters that aren’t worth your time until you actually have some decent equipment. As such it’s recommended that you...
MotoGP 14
If racing sims occupy a rarefied slot in the the video game library then those focused on motorcycles are abundant as albinos within the racing niche. For a variety of reasons motorcycle games are few and far between. Most tend towards the stunts or the mayhem of the Road Rash...
After getting my first higher-end smartphone, some of my favourite games to play were tower defence in nature. Now, since indie games have grown in popularity, more games of this nature have started popping up on PC. New from Four Lights is Defenders of Time, a tower defence game that...
This time around, the story (named Adventure mode) takes place in Bunkum where the previously sealed away Titans have been released and use the new antagonist, Newton, as their puppet to put an end to creativity. It’s up to Sackboy to awaken the three original heroes – Oddsock, Toggle, and...
You have to hand it to Rockstar. With every release the Grand Theft Auto franchise just gets better and better. To the point where the brand is a house hold name and a pop culture phenomenon. It has set the bar for nearly every other open world sandbox game that...
They say the number 13 can be unlucky. Heck, you rarely, if ever, see the number 13 on elevators. Why am I mentioning this you ask? Well, it’s been 13 years since the original Xbox hit store shelves and an unproven franchise, called Halo: Combat Evolved, launched with it. This...
