Why do I buy these games? Really? I don’t follow football, I don’t like particularly like football and the only time I get interested in football is when the world cup is on and even then I’m usually supporting either Japan or Mexico. So why did I get FIFA 11? Well around the time FIFA 09 came out my friends kept telling me to get the game, after about a week of nagging me I finally gave in and bought it at a…
When I heard that the development for Dead Rising 2 had been handed over to Blue Castle Games, a company that I personally had never heard of, I was slightly worried. With developers like Ninja Theory taking care of DmC and Donkey Kong Country: Returns in the hands of Retro Studios, I feel as though we’ll be seeing more of this in the future, but if Dead Rising 2 is any indication to how these studios treat existing…
While she’s no Morrigan, Leliana certainly was a great deal of help in my party for my fight against the blight, the latest piece of DLC follows Leliana’s journey back to when she was running in small gang of criminals led by Marjolaine, a femme fatale who is very French. Starting out in the market district at night you are accompanied by Sketch, a competent yet occasionally cowardly elf mage who offers the comic…
Wanting to get back into Dragon Age: Origins I popped the disc into my 360 to find some downloadable content, so I see something called “The Darkspawn Chronicles”, the description reads “Play as the Darkspawn” I thought “sweet!”, 400MB later I was met with what has to be the most disappointing DLC I have played since Mad Moxxi’s Underdome Riot. As soon as you boot up the Darkspawn Chronicles you watch the a brief…
Let me give you an idea of what Singularity is like, it plays like Modern Warfare, from some of the weapons down to the speed of aiming down your sights, it feels like Bioshock, eerie, occasionally atmospheric and it’s just a bit heavy with the 1950’s vibe... when it’s in the 1950’s and it has overarching vibe of Dead Space, the monsters, the upgrade system. That’s not to say Singularity is a poor game, these are…
You may have heard of Naughty Bear, you know, the game that had about 5 trailers a day released for it? Turns out, there was a reason why this game showed no gameplay footage in those trailers, I’ll give you a hint: It’s not very good. The game follows Naughty, a bear who wasn’t invited to a party, oh no! This results in Naughty getting up to some particularly nasty things on the Island of Perfection which…
The market is flooded with shooters as everyone knows, but Army of Two isn’t just another Blacksite or Turok. Like a lot of games, Army of Two offers co-operative play, however what sets this game apart is having co-op as its own established mode. Army of Two begins out with the two main characters, Tyson Rios, the bald, muscular leader of the two and Elliot Salem, the younger, laid back character. You start off,…
Warriors Orochi is... well you know Dynasty Warriors? And you know Samurai Warriors? Well it’s those two games’ characters put together into one game. Sounds interesting? Kinda. Is it? Not really. Warriors Orochi delivers the same hack and slash action you’d expect from any Dynasty Warriors or Samurai Warriors game, period. What makes Warriors Orochi kind of unique from its counterparts is the ability to deploy…
The Simpsons have a history of games behind them; most of them should be forgotten and will not be named. However the wittily named “The Simpsons Game” is the family of fives’ best adventure yet offering some nice platforming action that will be looked back on and shadow other Simpson’s games. The game plays like any platformer in terms of design and control, you start out as Homer in the infamous Chocolate Land,…
Burnout, never heard of it? it’s an aggressive, awesome full out in-your-face racing game that encourages trading paint. Let’s talk about Paradise, why is it Paradise? Is this really Paradise Josh? Is it?! Sure it is, Burnout Paradise gives you the ability straight from the start to explore the beautiful Paradise City, complete with the Guns and Roses song, stunt markers, fully featured online; everything! It’s…
Now, I didn’t play the original Red Steel, in fact I didn’t even have a Wii when the first Red Steel came out, but from what I’ve heard it wasn’t so great. I decided to give Red Steel 2 a shot without playing the first and well... it’s probably the best Wii game I’ve played. The first you’ll notice is that the game actually requires Wii MotionPlus which was a bit of a shock to me, turns out buying that copy of Wii…
