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...
NBA Live 15
NBA Live 15 won’t bring back that lovin’ feelin’ anytime soon, but it has some enjoyable moments and the good news is visuals are a marked upgrade over last year’s game. It is really the first thing you notice when you fire up the game. The players look great as...
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...
