Just to be completely transparent here, before I start this I want any readers to know that I did Kickstart this game. I can't say I'll be completely objective in every word that follows, but that's more due to my being a huge Jason fan than having kicked some money to the funding efforts. But still, better to put it out there. OK, with that out of the way, I want to say that I adore this game. Gun Media and…
I want to start with a disclaimer on this one. I've only played a few missions and a skirmish so far. Still, I've formed an early opinion that I'm eager to share. I was a fan of the original Halo Wars. While it's not as deep as the RTS games I've loved in the past, it had a good story mode, the controls were a good introduction for fans who might not have grown up with the genre, and it looked really great. It also…
EDIT: I just noticed after posting this review that the game is already knocked down to half price less than a month after its release. That really tells you all you should need to know. But if you want the full tirade, then read on: Dead Rising , as a franchise, once had a certain personality. These were never easy games, tho not truly difficult either. They had a particular set of challenges that fans and…
This is not a complete review of a game I played for hours on end. This is a first, quick, and last impressions of a game that shows no interest in making a great experience for the player. This is a cash-in turd with no soul. I was a big fan of the old PS2/Xbox/GameCube era Godzilla games. They seemed low budget, but since the movies are low budget that's fine. Low budget but fun is a perfectly serviceable niche,…

Learn to put up with X or accept Y. That seems to be the general vibe at the wrap-up of the video above. However it can't help but get me to thinking. They've forgotten the inevitable third option. "Just quit playing games". Which is sadly the path I've mostly had to take. I'm not a person for whom impulse control is an easy choice. It's my greatest failing and I'm aware of it and I try to cont...

The Year of the Loot Box was the one that finally got me to set aside gaming as my main hobby. So gold-star to you, Games Industry. You managed to turn away a gamer who's been a fan since the 70's! Kudos! The few games I did play were pretty good, I will admit. Mostly stuff bought for my new Switch console which I picked up about 4 months ago. Here's my truncated & mostly Loot Box free list of...

Full Size version can be found on my Deviant Art page here: http://zzombiexiii.deviantart.com/art/Disney-s-MST3K-677440420 In the new season of MST3K on Netflix, Kinga Forrester longs to sell-out the show to Disney. Which got me to wondering, what would that look like? Clearly, I had no choice but to draw it. Kinga is modeled after Belle Jonah is modeled after Lefou Crow T Robot is modeled afte...

I've always been a Star Wars fan. Literally. As in, I do not recall a time before I loved the movies. Of course, I'm 45 years old. I saw the first film when I was 5 years old in 1977, so my experience may be a bit different than many of you who grew up watching them on home video, but if you're a fan you know what it means to have gone through the good times (Original Trilogy era), the dark tim...

I know I played plenty of games this year, but it feels like I missed more than I got to actually play. Still, there were some real stand-outs this year, some real let-downs this year, and there's a bunch of games I still need to get around to trying in the coming months. So here is my (diminutive) list of games that stood out this year. Steep - As a long time fan of video games that emulate "e...

Dead Rising is my favorite series, so I'll buy the game regardless. I must say though, I'm apprehensive. It truly seems like they've stripped out all the things I've loved about DR in the past. And since they released the old games on the X1 and PS4, I've just recently replayed the best games (to me) in Dead Rising & Dead Rising 2 . One thing for which Capcom Game Studios Vancouver (or Blue Cas...
