All reviewsQuake1996
4 out of 5 starsI originally wrote this for my Amazon review. Quake 64 is a really weird port. It's missing some of the best levels from the base game. There's no Grisly Grotto, specifically, which means there's no secret exit to the Well of Wishes, which means the Dopefish secret is straight up gone. The difficulty and episode selection hub that is somewhat synonymous with the game is also gone. You pick your difficulty from a…
Mortal Kombat 41997
3 out of 5 starsThis was originally used as my review on Amazon. A perfectly competent port of MK4. The default controls are absolutely atrocious, so you will need a controller pak available. I suggest putting your attacks on the C buttons, movement on the pad, run and block on L and R, and side steps on A and B. Without a controller pak, you'll be redoing these settings every time you play. For real, they are BAD. Block is on Z…
Turok: Rage Wars1999
4 out of 5 starsI originally used this review for my Amazon account. Made as the console answer to Unreal Tournament and Quake 3 Arena, Turok Rage Wars is a game near and dear to my heart. If this was me telling you my personal score, it'd be a solid 5. However, I can say that Rage Wars has some glaring issues that you should know about. The core progression in Rage Wars is done via "Trials". You pick a character from a fighting…
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Blacklist2013
5 out of 5 starsA common problem that afflicts many games these days is that they simply try to do too much, to attract as many possible players as they can. Of all the developers to attempt so, Ubisoft has easily seen a largely negative response, and acceptable but less than expected sales. It's only fitting then, that after almost burying the series with Conviction, Blacklist comes along and does it right. Blacklist feels good.…

All articlesThis should be awful. I can't wait.

Dementium isn't a good game. It's dumb as hell, the story is non-existent (the ending is almost as good as a big flashing "FUCK YOU".), and one of the recurring enemies are leeches that meow. Don't bother looking for the passcodes to that door lock, it's 666. There's a boss fight against a guy in a wheelchair with a minigun. This is naturally a day one buy for me and I'm hyped as fuck.
Planetside 2 PS4 Quick Thoughts
Mar 27, 2015
There is no NDA from what I have found and looked into, so here's some of my impressions. I've played a ton of PS2 on PC, since the beta there, actually. The opportunity to check out the early stages of the title once more has been pretty exciting. The big thing is, it works. A Dual Shock 4 is capable of playing PS2. That said, it's also not really great at it. Big surprise. Part of the issue c...
Ramblin' bout Hybrid
Mar 17, 2015
Every article about Hybrid begins with something like "Wow, isn't it crazy that the Scribblenauts guys made a shooter?" I don't really know that it is, though. 5th Cell are clearly a bunch of very creative people, and the ideas on display in Hybrid are just different and unique enough that it should have stood apart from the crowd. Unfortunately, it didn't, and the user base dwindled after a fe...
I'm going to start doing this stuff again.
Jun 5, 2012
I'm only young once, and I'd like to continue pursuing this goal while I'm still, well, young. So I'm planning on beginning to write reviews for each game that I finish once again, among other things.
