As I looked over Activision’s ‘Destiny’ and ‘Call of Duty: Ghosts’ booths at E3 this year one thing jumped out and slapped me in the face: Destiny hauled in a crap load of E3 awards while Ghosts had none. Not one award at E3. Okay, maybe one award for “best...
Electronic devices can be difficult to clean properly as they all have intricate little parts and buttons and switches. I learned that the hardest way possible when I blank-mindedly drooled all over my keyboard after reading a text that said “Wanna review Batman?” I wish I could say that it...
After completing Beyond: Two Souls, my biggest question has been how to define it. Is it a game? Is it a choose-your-own adventure? Would it have been better as a movie? Creative director David Cage has referred to it as an “interactive drama” and that’s probably the best way to...
As I was sweating away to Lady Gaga’s “Applause” in the middle of my living room, I came to terms with a few brutal honest truths about myself. One, I am out of shape as thirty seconds into the song and I found myself huffing and puffing. Two, I am...
Shadow Warrior
Once upon a time in the 90’s there was a videogame developer called 3D Realms. They were in their prime with hits such as Duke Nukem, Blood, Rise of the Triad, and a little first person shooter called Shadow Warrior. Fast forward to today, their most popular games legacy lives...
Grand Theft Auto is nothing short of a pop culture phenomenon. Whether you’re a gamer or not you’ve likely heard of it. It is a game that has managed to permeate nearly every household in North America it seems and everyone is talking about it. It’s so huge in fact...
Puppeteer
As the current generation of consoles winds down and my focus begins to shift towards the next-generation I find myself trying to finish off many games that, for whatever reason, I hadn’t gotten around to playing or finishing. Puppeteer wasn’t on that list, but boy am I glad I had...
KickBeat
Music games are dead right? It’s all about Dance Central and the Just Dance franchises when it comes to music/rhythm games these days as the golden era of Rock Band and Guitar Hero is gone for the most part. So, why then would Zen Studios make a music/rhythm game for...
NHL 14
The core gameplay of the NHL series has not really differed much in the last few years. EA has been busy tweaking and adding from game to game to enhance the already fantastic feel. They have employed a “If it ain’t broke why fix it?” attitude. The results speak for...
Madden NFL 25
The leap from Madden NFL 12 to Madden NFL 13 was significant. We saw the addition of Connected Careers, the new Infinity Engine where no two tackles are supposed to look alike and the addition of Total Control Passing. By no means was Madden NFL 13 the definitive Madden experience...
Who doesn’t love to create a world where they are in charge? I know for one that I don’t mind it, nor do many of the children out there who love to create with their imagination, my own kids included. Now take this and add the world of Disney to...
Saints Row IV
It is over-the-top, wacky and downright nonsensical. There isn’t much that makes a heck of a lot of sense. There are many WTF moments and other instances where I am questioning the path the developers are taking me on. There are even some occasions where I say to myself: “that...
