Dead island is by no means a good looking game. It gets the job done with good skin modeling on the enemies with body parts falling apart in semi-realistic ways, if you wail on a guys arm with a baseball bat it's gonna break the arm unless it kills him first. And the exterior environment does give the feeling that not only is this place big, but it is a resort with a town for the workers and such. Though to be picky…
Now with Xbox Live Arcade is starting to become a real playground for developers that want cheap games to earn some extra income on bigger projects. Sometimes it is hit and miss and at times I do say."Well it is only 15 dollars why not." Trenched is not one of those games. What makes this game great? It fills a niche. A truly interactive Tower defense. In most tower defense games you are forced you to first set up…
Well Magic the Gathering is back! The Fantastic game released a couple years ago is now back with some improvements. To get this out of the way, all previous dlc does not work for the new game. At first I too was upset and thought that this game wouldn't be worth it, but after checking out the decks which can do even during the trial there is a reason why. 95% of those cards from the previous game are either…

Now the next DLC for Fallout:New Vegas is here and very deeply searched threw-out and the DLC is an improvement. With a much more expansive area and monsters along with items to gather, it's fairly fun in that aspect. There is atleast a new weapon for every type along with the new Ammo type with hand loader bullets and some guns for it make it an easily used weapon that after going to the dlc allows it to be sold in…
With the release of Honest Heart's coming soon, Why not give a view on Dead money. Dead money though was released months ago for the 360 still some people are iffy on it. And should be so because unless you are into Survival Horror type games. This game isn't completely up your alley. One thing that can be said is, this is more New Vegas. The same complicated plot about what your "factions" intent are besides what…
(Due to complaints I will rewrite and make my former point much more clear then before.) A couple of things to say about brink is that it is a pain in the ass to play in general. The gameplay is very scripted, with different objectives on a limited set of maps that range from extremely easy to insanely difficult especially ones that rely to heavily on teamwork. Though I do enjoy teamwork is the name of the game…
Now a recent trend is coming up to try to capitalize on the low income market."Why pay 60 dollars on first person shooter when you can pay 15 dollars for the same experience." Well Blacklight tango down was what I consider the first success. It had a diverse leveling system and some unique game-play but the problem was it was to in house. The tags and other stats gave no reason explanation and even the developers…
Now for all those fans out there that enjoy The Monster Hunter Franchise there is another game to sink your teeth into, but is it just a bad remake? Is it a bad version of it? Or is it the greatest version ever created! You are about to find out. Now Game-play wise it plays fairly similar Monster Hunter, where monster hunter specializes in the fantasy aspect that everyone has a choice in what weapon you want, Gods…
Metal Gear Solid is a Franchise hasn't changed much since it's initial release on NES. Of course besides the obvious graphics and 3d perspective. But the weapons and the crazy war story and the over dramatic soldier fighting to do what is right and to complete his mission hasn't changed yet. Though some things have been added Metal Gear Peace Walker is by far one of the better Metal Gear games Only Matched by MGS4…
Well since a lot of people know or don't know Playstation has the Ps Classic and with such great games and all the nostalgia do they really hold up the test of time? Or were they only impressive as kids? Well Front mission is the first of many retro reviews and I couldn't have picked a better game. Front mission 3 was one of the better Front Mission games and it holds up fairly well for a tactical rpg. Despite being…
For a lot of people that don't know that the Psp has plenty of games that are exclusive to it. The problem is people don't know what to think of new releases. I mean when you think of FF tactics and Tactics ogre I mean they already made a name for their self years ago but new games have to make a large gameplay change to make it unique. Valkyria Chronicles for the ps3 was a great game and Valkyria Chronicles II is a…
With Marvel Vs Capcom 2 has been in my opinion on of the most played fighting games for crazy combos and hey watching Ryu and Wolverine fight is just awesome but on the competitive side it seemed like only a few characters got the spot light because of the infamous tier system. Marvel vs Capcom 3 has come out and there are some blaring things wrong with it. 1 mission mode, usually it's easy to do the first 2-3 but…

About a year ago Blacklight Tango down came out for the XBLA and it was a very welcome addition essentially giving another option for FPS that isn't labeled with a series, but could still hold it's own. 12 maps, large customization, and small co-op made it worth a bit more appealing for a 15 dollar price tag then a COD 60 dollar. Now with Breach that seems to wanna capitalize more on the Battlefield side of gaming…
Not saying I'm a vivid fan of R&B,Rap, or Pop and Dj hero only made me realize that I knew very little of these songs though I love the beat, the gameplay, not to mention the customizable cross-fading, and scratching. Though what upsets me is the songs are so much better on the game then the songs they come from, and without a "legal" way of obtaining the songs it makes it less likely I'll listen to them and more to…
If you can't tell from the title of this then you should probably stop reading this. I do honestly love this game, the cute retro design, the 8-bit mania, the fact you play as a cube of meat fighting a fetus! But the difficult of this game is why this is a 4.5 not a 5 I can't recommend this to everyone because some people can't time these things and I wouldn't wanna be to bold to say everyone should buy it. But if…
Well I would like to start by saying this game has a lot of bugs, from the minor texture and odd lip syncing where they will move their lips without talking to the major missing npcs? to at some occasions my game froze or my companions just disappear. This game has a lot of problems, but I can't put it down and I might not be able to for at least another month or 2! Fallout New vegas Made a better looking, better…
Right off the bat Blacklight: Tango down deserves a bit of bashing because of their Slogan "An AAA game for 15 bucks." This is not an AAA game in terms of disk games. But what this is a very well made game. For PSN XBLA or Steam for 15 bucks you will never get a better price. This game takes the best of several Big shooters(going off 360 specifically) Halo series and Call of duty 4 and up with button controls,…
Infinite Space can not be summarized in a few words. It is a very engaging story. Between the battles reading the growth and change of a boy is very enjoyable. All though it does use a very unique take on the Rock Paper Scissor Style of combat adding in range and factoring in everything your crew is up to, the gauges can be tiresome. Unless you pay complete attention to the tutorial you will not understand 80% of…
