Operation Raccoon City was intended to show another angle of a legacy. Instead, it shoves its own down your throat. Operation Raccoon City's claim to fame was to showcase the oft-considered "What-If" scenarios but it quickly becomes apparent that all the game managed to accomplish is utterly fail at emulating the legendary franchise it was based on and transform into something else entirely thanks to a poor…
Uncharted has long been the flagship title of the Playstation3 since it's release in 2007, much like Gears of War in the case of the Xbox 360. The first Uncharted was the game that validated everyone's ownerships of their PS3s due to its high level of quality and the system's lack of big name games at the time. It was a game that had some flaws and no multi-player with a total focus on the Single-player campaign, so…
Mabinogi Heroes (Vin dick tus in the U.S.) is the spiritual successor to 2005's smash hit from devCat, Mabinogi 'FANTASY LIFE', a Free-2-Play[F2P] MMO that may be free to play, but has a functioning cash shop where players can purchase in game items with real world money. The game was so wildly successful that a majority of U.S. developers are now going the F2P Marketing tactic. But I am not here to discuss…
Read the full review An ARPG so disastrous it killed its own potential to the core.
So it's been about ten years and Blizzard finally released the game we, and many Koreans, have been waiting for...Starcraft 2. Though it would have been a more convincing show of faith if Blizzard had actually spent more money on the game instead of on its advertising. I realize that they have plenty of WoW money to throw around and probably feel comfortable spending it on silly advertising gimmicks, but to see how…
The first Crysis game released back in 2007 was met with joy amongst hardcore PC gamers across the net. A game that pushed the latest hardware of those days to the highest limits, and delivered fantastic and spectacular effects not seen before in the PC gaming world. Crytek's lauded CryEngine 2 was the talk of everything for a while. When Crysis 2 was announced, everyone had high hopes for this game to finally fix…
When it comes down to JRPGs, you usually expect to see plenty of story, plenty of combat, and most of all, gameplay that does not repel the player. Sadly, in the case of Hypderdimension Neptunia, you only get one out of these three options. Care to guess what it is? Read on to find out. Hyperdimension Neptunia takes place in the world of "Gamindustri" (Game Industry), the world is divided into four lands, each an…
Phantasy Star Portable was a fun little diversion, if very lacking for the U.S. players. SEGA has never been fond of Americans, and the releases always suffer a lack of content. The first game is a good example, but not more than the infamous Phantasy Star Universe. Surprisingly, this game has not suffered aforementioned cut content like PSU and the first Portable Phantasy Star, and is in fact a little better than…
Vanquish is a third-person shooter from critically acclaimed director best known for his creation of the Resident Evil series, Shinji Mikami. It is without a doubt one of the most original and fantastic shooters released in years, the only other being Resident Evil 5 in March of 2009. "Resident Evil" was a survival-horror game released on the PSX, or Sony PlayStation, and was one of the first games on consoles to…
When you buy an FPS, or a shooter in general, and this goes for me especially, you expect one thing out of everything else. Fast paced action. That is exactly what you do NOT get with "War for Cybertron". This game suffers from a myriad of design flaws, not to mention the very poor design choices they used. Even old PSX platformers and shooters had more ammo drops than this game cares to throw at you. In fact, in…
For a while before it's release, I was very stoked for this game. Even though a ton of other people were going so far as to buy the the Japanese version of this game (Or pirate it) just to get their hands on it, I waited until June to enjoy the title. Hideo never cuts content from his games on the American releases, after all. This game has been met with a lot of joy, praise, and overall strong love, but it is in my…
Every time I sit in my chair to play some PS3, I constantly stare at this game on my shelf. Sometimes I put it in, and I try to force myself to like it. I just can't anymore. In the end, I question if spending the $60 was worth it. It's another example of high hopes meeting crushing disappointment, a common staple in today's market. LOST PLANET 2 (ALL CAPS because Capcom thinks it's some sort of cruise control to…
Resonance of Fate (End of Eternity in Japan) is a pseudo real-time action RPG created by tri-Ace, one of my favorite developers out there. A guy by the username "Taxonomic" got it, he always wanted it, but he hated it because he didn't know how to play. Until I made him go berserk and play the game to beat the first boss, he didn't like it. Even then, I still didn't pick up this game, and I don't even know why…
