For the love of God don't smoke, drink, or have sex in the woods!

4 out of 5 starsJun 17, 2017

Just to be completely transparent here, before I start this I want any readers to know that I did Kickstart this game. I can't say I'll be completely objective in every word that follows, but that's more due to my being a huge Jason fan than having kicked some money to the funding efforts. But still, better to put it out there. OK, with that out of the way, I want to say that I adore this game. Gun Media and…

Halo Wars 22017

4 out of 5 starsFeb 20, 2017

I want to start with a disclaimer on this one. I've only played a few missions and a skirmish so far. Still, I've formed an early opinion that I'm eager to share. I was a fan of the original Halo Wars. While it's not as deep as the RTS games I've loved in the past, it had a good story mode, the controls were a good introduction for fans who might not have grown up with the genre, and it looked really great. It also…

Dead Rising 42016

2 out of 5 starsDec 30, 2016

EDIT: I just noticed after posting this review that the game is already knocked down to half price less than a month after its release. That really tells you all you should need to know. But if you want the full tirade, then read on: Dead Rising , as a franchise, once had a certain personality. These were never easy games, tho not truly difficult either. They had a particular set of challenges that fans and…

Godzilla2015

1 out of 5 starsJul 16, 2015

This is not a complete review of a game I played for hours on end. This is a first, quick, and last impressions of a game that shows no interest in making a great experience for the player. This is a cash-in turd with no soul. I was a big fan of the old PS2/Xbox/GameCube era Godzilla games. They seemed low budget, but since the movies are low budget that's fine. Low budget but fun is a perfectly serviceable niche,…

Batman: Arkham Knight2015

3 out of 5 starsJul 7, 2015

My reverence for the Arkham games is well known among my friends. But since anyone reading this likely doesn't know me on a personal level, let me just say that Asylum and City were easy GotY contenders for me in the years in which they were released. I've yet to ever play a "perfect" game, but these were as close as I've seen to the lofty height of perfection in my entire time spent gaming. There's just, simply, a…

Dead Rising 32013

5 out of 5 starsJan 10, 2014

A quick preface here. I'm a huge fan of Dead Rising and all it's sequels. So while I'll try to write this as objectively as I can, the simple truth is I am going to be gushing a bit here. For better or worse. So before you read any farther I want you to know what you're in for. -Paul *********************************************************************************** Dead Rising 3 hits all the right notes as it takes…

Batman: Arkham Origins2013

3 out of 5 starsNov 11, 2013

In the years since the release of Arkham Asylum, I have been an avid singer of this series praises. Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City were masterfully crafted pieces of Gothic inspired artwork. They both captured a slice of Batman's fictional life, and put the player in an interesting world full of colorful villains, exciting combat, stealthy engagements, and all of it with a serviceable narrative hook…

The Amazing Spider-Man2012

2 out of 5 starsJul 10, 2012

Amazing Spider-man is not exactly the game many of you may be hoping for. This is a return to an open world like many have been clammoring for over the years since Beenox took the reigns on Spider-man titles. But the open world is not much of a sandbox in this case. Web-swinging is Spider-man's calling card. And you really need that to be interesting if you want a Spider-man game to stand out. And unfortunately, ASM…

SSX2012

4 out of 5 starsMar 4, 2012

What can be said about the new SSX? It's got a lot of things going for it. It also may leave some fans in the lurch. It largely depends on what SSX games of old meant to you. In the PS2/XboX generation, SSX was the standout snowboarding game. Eschewing the realism of other games for a balls to the wall, over the top experience. Tricks were crazy, fast, and insane if taken at face value. Fast forward to 2012 and we…

Dead Rising 2: Off the Record2011

4 out of 5 starsOct 18, 2011

OK let me preface this by saying that I am a Dead Rising fanboy. A major one. I am well aware of all the games flaws and issues and I couldn't care less. I enjoyed the first Dead Rising like no game before it. As a huge fan of Romero films and zombie fiction of all kinds, Dead Rising was the first game I felt truly captured the feeling of an oppressive "Zombie Event". And of course the parallels to Dawn of the Dead…
