Wolfenstein: The New Order is a sort of direct sequel to Wolfenstein (2009), but much like the Nazis resurrecting the tombs of Ancient Germanic Warriors, Wolfenstein: The New Order plans to resurrect the older shooter gameplay, hearkening back to classic titles like Return to Castle Wolfenstein and Wolfenstein 3D. Does it succeed in this endeavor, or does it fail harder than the Nazis have failed so, so many times…
It has been a while since I last did a "Let's Play" style review so I may as well tackle it again, and Wargame seems like a good game to try it. So I was initially bought Wargame: AirLand Battle by my friend for Christmas. My first thought could best be described as "AirLand Battle? What kind of fuckin' backwards ass grammar is that? How is Land capitalized? Why is smashed together to Air like some ugly, Siamese…
Mercenaries 2: A World in Flames is a sequel to the much beloved Mercenaries: Path of Destruction, back when open world games were still being called "GTA clones". Path of Destruction was great for the sheer havoc that could be wrought and the various interesting factions to interact with. It has a whole slew of vehicles that explode, buildings that explode, people that explode, weapons to explode them with, and…
The Metro series has been one of the strongest post-apocalyptic games to come out of the last decade, up there with the greats such as Fallout and STALKER (Which it will inevitably be compared to, even though STALKER isn't even really a post-apocalypse game despite echoing the many themes of the subgenre). The original was a great atmospheric shooter but a bit lacking in some elements. Still, its heart was in the…
Total War is the long running franchise brought to us by the folks at Creative Assembly. Originally owned by THQ, CA was purchased by SEGA and every Total War game after the original Rome has been made under their publishing. Rome II is the latest installment. It generated a lot of hype after the success of Shogun II, which had a tight, focused singleplayer, an expertly crafted multiplayer, and in general honed and…
I am a man of opinions. You may have figured that out already. I often ramble on and on from dusk until dawn about opinions. After all, without opinions, what exactly is a man? So it will be little shock to you when I say that Medieval II is, in my opinion, the best Total War game and, in my opinion, Empire sucks the mightiest of cocks. Medieval II seemed intimidating at first. It boasts a large amount of "new"…
... or as I like to call it, a Game of World Domination at the hands of braindead idiots, but more on that later. Empire: Total war is the 5th installment in the Total War series of games. It is a mix between RTS and Turn Based Grand Strategy in which you lead one of several nations to victory, usually by conquering Earth. The whole shtick behind the Total War games is that whenever you get into a battle, the game…
Ah yes, the Civilization games. There mostly known for their complete addictiveness (I'm not sure that is a word) and that prominent issue of "just one more turn" Before long, it is 3 in the morning and you have had 500 "one more turns" Indeed, this is what makes Civilization great, because there is no game that will go unfinished. When you start a Civ V game, you know that you must do whatever it takes to end it,…
Well, I have already talked endlessly about Europa Universalis III, but oddly enough, that was not my first deviation into Grand Strategy. In fact, the much more challenging Victoria II was indeed my first. Now, that raises some alarms if you read my EU3 review and read how much of a moronic fuck I was. I somehow managed to get destroyed in that game with cheats on. Oh boy, here we go. Well, I first bought Victoria…
***Warning, Review contain vulgar- Ah who am I kidding, you really don't care*** I have been a fan of the Paradox Interactive Grand Strategy games for a long time. Victoria II was the first Grand Strategy game I ever played (But we'll get to that). I became interested in the series and wanted to find more games like it. I had received uncountable recommendations for Europa Universalis III. Many proclaimed it the…
