Latest Reviews
Dynasty Warriors 3 was my first bout with the Warriors series. At the time I was quite young, probably close to 8 years old or so. I played the game for hours on end and loved every second of it. As I grew older, I found the games lack innovation...
Let’s face it, Call of Duty: Ghosts was a massive let down for the franchise. Featuring a less than stellar single player campaign and more of the same old multiplayer, Ghosts was not only met with some lukewarm review scores but the blockbuster franchise also took an uppercut in the...
I’ll admit that when I first saw Sunset Overdrive unveiled at E3 2013 I had my doubts. An open world like experience that combined energy drinks, mutants, and over-the-top weapons was a formula I’d yet to see in a game. Since that time we’ve seen trailers and early gameplay showing...
I don’t know who I pissed off but I seem to be the go to guy for reviewing dance games. Whether it be Dance Central, The Hip Hop Experience (remember that one?) or even the Disney Just Dance Party game I have unquestionably paid my virtual dancing dues. I have...
Without a doubt the most difficult game type to succeed with is stealth games. When done right stealth games can be some of the best gaming experiences ever made, but there’s so much that can go wrong. In every stealth game it all comes down to control. If you feel...
Through no fault of its own, Alien: Isolation had a lot to prove right out of the gate. Critics were universally disappointed with the last attempt at incorporating the ‘Alien’ franchise into a video game experience with Aliens: Colonial Marines from Borderlands developer Gearbox. It was an over the top...
NBA 2K15
For everyone looking forward to some next gen NBA this year, all I can say is Visual Concepts has delivered. The players look sharp, the commentators actually sound interesting, and Shaq is in the building. There is no question the NBA 2K franchise is back and back again in a...
Definitive editions of games are becoming more and more prominent these days. The latest game to receive this treatment is Sleeping Dogs, which hits retail today (at time of publishing). At the development helm is Vancouver based United Front games who are also responsible for the excellent Tomb Raider: Definitive...
There are actually two modes that could be considered the story mode in Naruto Revolution. The first of which is the Ninja World Tournament. The Ninja World Tournament has you play though a gigantic tournament featuring all the characters you’ve come to love from the Naruto universe. Each segment of...
There is no question Shinji Mikami’s primary goal with “The Evil Within” was to scare the absolute bejeezus out of anyone who dared to pick up the game. To a large degree his team at Tango Gameworks have successfully managed to accomplish that goal. You will jump out of your...
Driveclub
Originally pegged as a launch title for the PS4, DriveClub was delayed an entire year to refine the experience. Sadly, even with all that extra time, what we’re left with under the hood is a very strict on the rails, or on the tracks more appropriately, racer. It’s pretty to...
Right from the start, Neverending Nightmares has you on edge. Whether it was the creepy art style, terrifying sound effects, or disturbing imagery, I remained tense and frightened the whole way through. I pushed myself through each scenario, hoping for things to lighten up a bit. Unfortunately for me, they...
