Uncharted 3 is a fantastic cinematic experience that plays well and is entertaining from start to finish. That being said, there are some significant potholes along the way that, while they don’t derail this fantastic experience, certainly cause it to slow down. Uncharted 3 picks up a while after Uncharted 2 with Drake and his longtime companion Sully searching for a new treasure while following in the footsteps of…
I wasn’t so sure that I was ready to come back to the Arkham franchise; honestly I didn’t even finish the first one because I burned out on the combat that became more of a chore then a reward. That, being said I was still looking forward to the newest Batman game due to the fact that I have been reading so much Batman comics lately. The quality of Arkham city really took me by surprise, form both a gameplay and…
Can you review Trackmania 2: Canyon? I don’t know but let’s find out together. At its core Trackmania is an arcade racer with a block based track editor. That may not sound so special and doesn’t look that special if you haven’t played it. A review of a game like Trackmania inevitably leads to something of a review of the community. The community provides the best and the bulk of the content for the game so it is…
Gears of War 3 is exactly what it title implies. It’s more Gears of War. Whether or not that’s a good thing really depends on you. I guess it’s important to preface a review of a franchise that is somewhat divisive like this with a little about my experience with the series. I really enjoyed both of the previous games in the series, and I even read two of the novels. I hold Gears as the gold standard for how a third…
I was pretty skeptical of Crysis 2 after a buggy and laggy multiplyer demo but whatever Cryrtek learned from it, they learned well. Crysis 2 is crisp and tight. The controls are responsive and dialed in making it easy and fun to move and shoot. The ability to swap out weapon attachments on the fly is great and helps stretch the limited, by COD standerds, armoury. The suit abilities give you unique powers wihtout…
Well to start with the good Magicka is a very funny game. Plenty of referential jokes to all sorts of sci-fi and fantasy series make this great for anyone with a background in those areas. The fake language the charecters speak is awesome and many of the items you pick up have hilarious descriptions. Now while the controls are very intresting they are also very very complicated and unweildly. While its fun to try…
While the first Dead Space had you isolated by yourself on a massive ship, Dead Space 2 puts you on a human colony fighting the Necromorphs. In many ways this change in focus in the series from an solitary horror action to a more action focused sequal parreles the change from Alien to Aliens. Whats great is that neither one of these games/movies is bad. While not as terrifying as the first game you'll certianly get…
So far DC Universe online has been a pretty cool experiance. the creation tools offer tons of options for designing your hero and you can make them look pretty much however you like. Whats also cool is that you can choose to keep the heroes look or modify it as you take in new gear. You can even have your charecter display gear they are not wearing. The combat is a real time mix of mous clicking for standered…
