Insurgency
Tutorial missions… they’re never fun. We all know this but unfortunately, until we come up with a way to download information directly into our brains, they’re necessary in order to quell any potential frustration later on. Insurgency’s tutorial however was clearly made when deadlines were closing in, because it makes...
Zen Pinball 2
Much like Pac-Man and Donkey Kong, Pinball tables are arcade staples. The visceral connection between finger and flipper, the satisfying ‘thunk’ of earning a free game, the fine line between a cheeky nudge and a full on tilt. Yes, pinball is legendary – all the flash and excitement of the...
Unless you’ve been living under a rock you’ve likely played, or at least heard of, the Tomb Raider reboot that was released to consoles back in March of 2013. A franchise that was at great risk of drowning in mediocrity and fading away was given one more chance to come...
I bought the first version of Halo: Spartan Assault for my Surface RT earlier this year. As I played I found that my enjoyment of the virtual twin-stick shooter was hampered by the touchscreen controls offered, as I am truly a fan analog sticks, not presses on a touchscreen that...
Gran Turismo 6
While Gran Turismo may have pioneered the sim-racing on consoles, the genre has come along way since the original GT debuted on the *gasp* original PlayStation. Ever since its main competition Forza entered the fray the GT series has seemed, to me, to be a step behind especially with its...
Back in March of this year I was given the chance to preview a new game, still in beta, from the creators of World of Tanks that promised a similar experience, but this time it was all about manning aircraft from different points in history in all-out-war against other players. ...
Given that I have reviewed no less then three other versions of Skylanders SWAP Force, it was only natural that I be tasked as my final review of 2013 to give my impressions of the Xbox One version. Given we are a Skylander’s family, as my kids just love it,...
FIFA 14
As we inch closer to the big day, many moms, dads, brothers or drunk uncles are looking for that must have Xbox One game to put under the tree. Let’s face it none of the launch games scream “you must own this”. Sure Forza 5 and Dead Rising 3 are...
Saint Seiya, or more commonly known as Knights of the Zodiac in North America, is a classic anime and manga series from around the 1980s that has similar aspects to other anime such as Dragon Ball Z and Naruto. As most know, Dragon Ball Z and Naruto have video games...
Foot to the floor, no regard for the rules, wind in my hair, the music cranked and the cops on my ass. Like many red blooded males this is the recipe for a wet dream and also the components of the latest game in the Need for Speed franchise (minus...
LocoCycle
The promise of next gen consoles includes larger, more well realized worlds, realistic AI, and eye-popping presentation. LocoCycle includes none of those things, and would fit better in an early ‘90s arcade than a 2013 console powerhouse.
Dead Rising 3
There is something about open world sandbox style games we all love. Whether it be Saints Row IV or Grand Theft Auto V, we seem to have no problem dropping some hard earned cash on a game that gives us that ability to explore an open world setting, complete endless...
