That logo treatment is incredible. It’s been a little more than 20 years since the release of the original Resident Evil changed the landscape of video games forever. It’s a game series I literally grew up with, as it saw its original American release mere months before I was born. My initial encounters with the game were through watching my older brother and cousins play it for countless hours, all before I even…
2013’s Xbox-exclusive Titanfall seemed to come and go with relatively little fanfare despite the incredible hype it garnered prior to its release. With Titanfall 2 (available on Xbox One, PS4, and PC), Respawn Entertainment aims to revitalize its series in hopes of providing an experience that makes good on the original’s monumental expectations. Titanfall 2 delivers in nearly every respect, becoming one of the…
In Playdead’s Inside , you’ll spend your short time with it roaming a side-scrolling, dystopian world that’s quite alien to the one that we live in. It’s a world that’s almost entirely devoid of color, and entirely devoid of friends, in a game that is at all times captivating, horrifying, and breathtaking. You control a faceless young boy, whom you’ll soon find out is being hunted by similarly faceless men -- men…
2015 has been an incredible year for video games, and even the horror genre has seen its fair share of great games, too. The latest game to join the ranks is SOMA , a sci-fi first-person horror game for PC and PS4 from the folks at Frictional Games. The developer is known for being responsible for creating what’s typically thought of as being one of the scariest video games of all time, 2010’s Amnesia: The Dark…
The summer is behind us and school is back in session, but being a fan of video games, that’s actually good news! It’s usually the release of the latest edition of Madden every year that reigns in the fall period of game releases but this year, Madden 16 was not alone in its late summer release date. The Playstation 4 exclusive horror title from Supermassive Games, Until Dawn, is what I see as being the first great…
I really like this game, like a lot (look at the top editor). I found it just the other day after I had a dollar left over after buying another magnificent XBLIG game, Wizorb . It was the first time I'd ever heard of this when I stumbled upon it. Just the name was enough to draw me to it. Super Amazing Wagon Adventure. It's just such a mouthful that perfectly fits the game. It's simply just an amazing adventure.…
In 2009, Rocksteady released a little game called Batman: Arkham Asylum . It quickly became one of the most beloved superhero games ever made, and with good reason. Fast forward two some years, and we have a new title in the series, Batman: Arkham City . Arkham City takes place a year after the events of Arkham Asylum. Arkham Asylum has been deserted, and now all of the criminals have been moved to a secluded…
Dead Island is the newest game from developer Techland (The people behind the Call of Juarez series) and publisher Deep Silver ( Nail'd , Risen , My Animal Centre just to name a few). To best describe Dead Island, I'd have to say it's most like Fallout 3 and Borderlands (Which I'm sure you've heard countless times already). That is a good thing, since Fallout 3 and Borderlands are some of the best games I've played…
Catherine has been out for a while in Japan, and us Americans (and Europeans) have been eagerly awaiting for it to see the light of day with English voice work and on our store shelves. Finally, we get to experience the magic (and faults) of it. Catherine stars Vincent Brooks, a 32 year old man who has been in a relationship with a girl named Katherine for a large amount of years. So many that he can't even…
When Prototype was announced, it was about two years ago. Now, we gamers can finally play it. The first thing you will notice when you start the game is you're sense of speed. You can go so fast and travel around the city pretty quickly. The city though, is not that intriguing. Though it is pretty big, a lot of the buildings are bland and many are repeated. The next thing that you will notice is of course, the…
When I first saw this game at E3 2007, I shat my pants. I thought it looked so good. When I saw some of the reviews, I was all like WHATTTTTTTTTTTT. Then i got my hands on it and shat my pants again. This game is so good. Yes there are some bad things in how you must travel everywhere and not enough weapons for the sword fights. But both are very minor points with many better parts like the open breathing world with…
Resident evil on the PS1 was the game that made the survival horror genre. The game launched in '96 and became an instant classic and still scares me to this day. The gameplay is simply great though it takes a while to get used to the controls if you're a newcomer. Though I'm sure most people who buy the DS version are fanboys of the series, there will most likely be newcomers so it will probably take an hour to get…
After the huge success of GTA 4, the guys at Rockstar wanted to make a GTA on the DS, and it is one of the greatest if not the best, DS game. The game starts with your character Huang flying by plane to the U.S. He gets off the plane a surprising attack that features a gunshot to the face(ouchhhh). He ends up surviving of course and is met by his uncle. He starts doing missions and that is where the game reallly…
Resident Evil 5 is a great game that delivers everything that the 4th one did. It has an overly cheesy story which is great and has good voice acting. The gameplay is where many people think that this game just does not do good. The reason for that is the fact that you can't run and gun. Why would you need that in a Resident Evil game, there never has been one that had done that . The game takes about 12 hours to…
Bioshock is possibly the greatest game i have ever played. Great story, great gameplay, great characters, and great graphics. The game starts as you are a passenger in a crashing plane. You are quickly thrown into the water and forced to swim to an entrance to a city, Rapture. This is a beautiful city made to keep people in peace and quiet, after a couple years is thrown into chaos. A lot of people say that the…
Well, Godfather 2 was great at the start, it had pretty good graphics, great gameplay, and a meh story. But once I finished it in it's 10-12 hour story, I kinda got bored of it. Once you finish, all you have is 3 open cities with only crappy cops to do things with. Nothing else, unless if you want to do some side missions to find where some rival gang members are, but they are already dead!!!! Plus, all of the side…
