Journey is a game about a Cloaked Traveler whose destination is to reach the top of a mountain peak. Once you start a new game of Journey, a cutscene plays by showing the environment with multiple shots of sandy hills and a steady introduction to the silent protagonist: the Cloaked Traveler. As a player, you're in control of the Traveler throughout the whole game -- as you're seamlessly given movement control of it…
Before the addition of encore mode, Sonic Mania was a pretty good game! It was one of the best Sonic games I've ever played in awhile, was. But now we're introduced to Sonic Mania Plus, an expansion pack that includes 2 Extra characters and a remix mode of the campaign. Mighty the Armadillo and Ray the flying squirrel have been missing for along time, and now they are back. Mighty has a stomp ability which made him…
When I first caught glance at this game, I thought it was going to be the next best superhero game, everything looked so neat and tight, this game is going to be a Blast! But It didn’t live up to my expectations, sadly. Marvel's Spider Man isn't a bad game, far from it, but it's not intuitive either. Especially compared to the likes of the Arkham games, delivering a sense of weight but having a better sense of…
Sonic Unleashed is the first Sonic game I've played, it has a lot of intense action, beautiful graphics and tone. In my eyes it’s a fantastic game, however no game is perfect and Unleashed is tediously flawed in many categories, and a rough difficulty curve which sort of makes you want to play something else. But because I grew up with this game and have tons of nostalgia and good memories of it, Sonic Unleashed for…
Ok, first of all did Sonic team just forget that the Chaos emeralds exists in the Sonic universe? If this Downloadable Content was coming out a month after the game released then why didn't Sega delay the game to the next month with Super Sonic playable and not being able to download or pay for him. Second if you missed downloading him for free and need to pay $1.99 for him then don't bother, Super Sonic is cool to…
Minecraft is without a doubt One of the most popular Video games to date with millions and millions of copies sold. There is a reason why it's so mainstream, Minecraft is a sandbox game where you the player in a first person view place can build and break blocks in a 3Dimensional grid. It received highly positive receptions on the PC and soon brought to Xbox 360, PS3, mobile phones, PS4, Xbox one, Wii U, 3DS, PSV,…
Sonic adventure 2 is acclaimed as the best 3D Sonic game period to fans (due to nostalgia), So I purchased the game on the PlayStation Store along with the Battle mode and to experience "the best Sonic game ever". After I finished it I did enjoy some parts of it but didn't find much fun compared to Sonic adventure 1 because that game just had more to offer for me. The Sonic and Shadow levels are the best part of the…
Sonic and the Secret Rings was a mixed reception because of it's weird gimmicky motion controls and twitchy gameplay. For some odd reason it got a sequel (probably because it hit the sales of Sonic's first adventure on the Wii) in 2009 Sonic and the Black Knight, I hated this game when I was a kid because it was tiring, had unpolished controls, wacky Wii gimmicks and straight forward levels. (This review is gameplay…
I've never played Sega Superstars on the PS2, But I owned somewhat of a sequel? Sega Superstars Tennis, a bunch of Sega/ Sonic team mascots ripping off Mario Tennis but doing its own thing. Sega Superstars Tennis has a lot of content like the Superstars mode: a mode where you unlock stuff from different genera's and missions, Match mode: where you can just play or practice playing Tennis with CPU or Multiplayer,…
Sonic the hedgehog 1 was an outstanding game at the time, the Gameplay, music, and presentation was all pretty good, Sega was finally comfortable with what they want for their mascot and knew exactly what to do for the sequel. Sonic the hedgehog 2 released November 1992 hitting the market with praise and overall being a good sequel to the original game. Sonic the hedgehog 2 unlike it's predecessor is packed with…
Sonic Boom was an “ATTEMPT” to fully revive the Sonic Franchise once again however that’s not how this turned out to be. Unlike the Wii U version developed by Big Red Button this by far is the worst of the 2. Sonic Boom Shattered Crystal developed by Sanzaru Games feels more like a effortless project that was rushed to stores and failed to impress fans than rise of lyric, the game looks ok, the soundtrack wasn’t…
I haven't played the original Crash games on the Original PlayStation (also on ps3), I always wanted to try them out at some point. But Activsion released the 3 games on the ps4 Remastered with crisp lush graphics and looked fun to play. So I bought a ps4 and one of my first games on the system was Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy so I can finally experience Crash bandicoot, to see what Naughty dog's games are really…
Think of something like a sandbox game, a community with random players, terrible controls, horrible graphics, very glitch, and a buggy framerate. You get Roblox, nothing but a sandbox disaster that will ruin your life forever (ok that last part was not true but still), in the first hour iv played this I quickly deleted the app because I could not believe what I was playing, just about everything in this game was…
Batman video games haven't been very great back then, some were okay some were decent, but a lot weren't very "impressive" until this game, Batman Arkham asylum developed by Rocksteady studios. Beginning to end this game wants you to have a good time, combat and stealth sections, atmospheric and realistic settings, gadgets, secrets, and challenge all scream Batman. Some flaws like the boss battles and slow pace rive…
Sonic 1 and 2 are both great, now for the true sequel to absolutely destroy Nintendo's Super Mario. Sonic the hedgehog 3 and Sonic and Knuckles, combined the 2 games together, put those cartridges on the console, turn it on and get ready to experience some blast processing technology with a massive/ pack load of levels to go through, get all the emeralds, and defeat the Evil Doctor Robotnik once and for all! Sonic,…
So Sega abandoned the Dreamcast and moved on being a 3rd party company to make games on Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft hardware. Games on the Dreamcast would be rereleased on PS2, XBOX and GameCube, Sonic Adventure both 1 and 2 were rereleased for GameCube as upgraded versions of the Dreamcast games with better graphics or a multiplayer mode. Sonic heroes Sonic team's next 3D title for the Sonic franchise is the first…
What made Sonic unleashed so great is back at full force here, unfortunately it's being developed by the same team that made the storybook games. While not nearly as bad its not nearly as good as Sonic Unleashed, either. Colors may have brushed out the problems that not many people liked in Unleashed, but even the high points of this game don't reach the climax that was the absolutely stellar and thrilling day…
The console sequel to the successful Super Mario 3D Land on the 3DS. 3D World this time however uses the same formula from Super Mario Brothers 2 (USA) with some multiplayer layouts from the New Super Mario Brothers games. While it does be a bigger game with better control, better graphics, and better music, its not as robust or heavily grounded as 3D Land. The level design rather forgiving, is however its greatest…
After the polarizing train wreck Sonic lost world seeing with average points, Sonic team immediately began working on the next project. Meanwhile Sega tried to entertain fans with a brand new Sonic game for the Wii U and to revive the franchise once again, The game was called “Sonic Boom: rise of lyric” developed by Big Red Button Entertainment. When the game came out it received a large amount of negativity bashing…
Blizzard entertainment's first FPS Overwatch, FPS weren't something that got me hooked because a lot of them were too violent, not very colorful, and boring to me because you just shoot a gun and that's how you win levels n stuff. Overwatch is a different beast and is the opposite of not colorful, too violent and just shooting a gun. Overwatch has it's own tone to it for it's cartoonish effects, simple objectives,…
As simple as the Mario kart franchise is, it's still pretty fun for everyone. Although as other racing games has surpass Mario kart, Not ignoring the fact that Super Mario kart back on the SNES introduced how great kart racer games should be or at least around that formula. Mario kart 8 continues and improves that formula of it's own genera along with the past great Mario kart games. Mario kart 8 introduces the…
Arkham asylum lies the standards of being a Great Batman game, as a sequel was going to destroy it's predecessor. Batman Arkham City improves and fixes everything in Arkham asylum thus creating a better experience that just about anyone that likes a good action-packed adventure can easily enjoy... The combat and stealth sections have been polished and fleshed out, Story is pretty entertaining, Gadgets are even more…
The actual Minecraft Contained no plot or objective what so ever but let the players decide what to do in the incredibly nonlinear world. Episodic point and click games weren't my cup of tea, They felt more like a movie instead of a video game leaving little input from the player. Minecraft story mode gives you a character named "Jessie" and you have to answer choices/ decisions (while most of the time under a time…
Take everything about the best parts of the Sega Genesis Sonic the hedgehog Trilogy + CD, Have it done by long-time fans: Christian Whitehead, Head cannon, Pagoda west games, and Improve everything about those games on what made them good and you get Sonic mania with colorful crisp graphics, silky smooth 60 fps (frames per second), Pitch perfect controls, amazing soundtrack, and action pack levels, could any Sonic…
