I had zero experience with MOBA type games. I figured I really should at least try them out. League of Legends is free? Great! The tutorial tells you how to move and attack, but tells you approximately bubkis about how to be good at an actual game. The fact that you can play games against the AI is great, because you can get familiar with the mechanics and the abilities of your chosen hero. I q...
...that nobody would take them seriously. Here's a list of recent games I've played, and what I think I'd probably rate them: Alice: Madness Returns - 5/5 Just Cause 2 - 5/5 Mass Effect - 5/5 Bulletstorm - 5/5 Fallout: New Vegas 5/5 Portal 2 - 4/5 Batman: Arkham Asylum - 4/5 Infamous - 3/5 Mass Effect 2 - 3/5 Fallout 3 - 3/5 Can you see the problem here? As far as the collective opinion of the...
and NOT for the reason you might expect. Spoilers for the first hours of Uncharted 2 to follow. Spoilers for the entirety of Uncharted 1 to follow as well. I got an offer I couldn't refuse. Uncharted AND Uncharted 2 for a price lower than just the original Uncharted costs in mosts stores in here.. Having still not played either of those, I immediately jumped in. Uncharted 1 is great. There was...
I want to talk concretely about some later parts, so I can't do this as a review, because reviews are spoiler sensitive. Anyways, Portal 2. Portal 2 would have been a 5 star experience for me, if the entire middle of the game hadn't been there. The game starts off with the familiar test chamber format, and then suddenly realizes that it's a sequel and it needs to be bigger and grander than it's...
It really bugs me that Demon’s Souls isn’t a video game in people’s eyes, it’s something that gets served to the worst possible people in the worst possible parts in hell. I played it, and I can confirm that Demon’s Souls is in fact a video game. What I feel like happened with Demon’s Souls was that a few people played it and said “Oh my god this is hard”, then other people tried it, died, and...
I thought of an interesting experiment. How about I take an old classic game that I haven't played in several years, and record my attempt at playing it now? This will be a pure, unedited run. I will take a game, hit record and see how I do after several years. We all would like to think that some things are never forgotten, and if we'd sit down in front of one of these games we would run to th...

CLICK HERE FOR PART 1 WARNING! SPOILERS FOR ASSASSIN'S CREED 2! Assassin's Creed 2 has been obtained, and I've played a bunch of it. Holy F-ing S. Ubisoft has figured out how to make the Desmond bits not completely annoying, by actualy having things happens during those segments. When you got to play as Desmond in the first game, you got to take part in such unique activities as Walk To Your Be...
WARNING! Might contain spoilers for Assassin's Creed 1! "You guys keep telling me not to play Assassin's Creed 1, that's kind of why I want to" - Sir Bradley Shoemaker I've always had an interest in the Assassin's Creed series, but due to some not-so-pleasant experiences with the first one, I've kind of avoided it. Then everyone kept telling me how the second one is an infinity or two better. T...
God of War: Ghost of Sparta is the franchise’s second entry on the PSP. With most of the appeal of this series being the unbelievable sense of scale, you would think that the game on a handheld would lessen the experience. The thing is, you’d be kind of wrong. God of War translates surprisingly well to the lesser platform. Ghost of Sparta looks a lot better than the previous PSP entry Chains of...
Took an unintentional break from this game because Blizzard recently released a game which was actually pretty good, believe it or not. Well I'm back now. Last time I fell in a pit in the Tower of Latria, let's go again! I got a phonecall, and this game can not be paused, so I hoped I was in a quiet corner and answered the phone. I got attacked by a FEOM (Face-eating-octopus-man) while on the p...
to tell you that Heavenly Sword is awesome! Late to the party, I know. A little generic on the gameplay side, but the storytelling and the world Ninja Theory has created are very compelling. Since it's supposedly a short game, I'll be done with it soon, but I'm really enjoying it so far.
Alright, Demon's Souls. I'm back in with your level design. The Tower of Latria is messed up, creepy and weird. The 'octupus men that eat your face' are actually pretty freaky because you can hear them from a while away, but can't see them. The octopus men aren't that hard to fight, if they managed to hit me once I was pretty much dead, but when I got to it first, it had no chance. So I sort of...
Yesterday, I spent several hours being lost in a tunnel. After shutting the game off I learned via a helpful Youtube video that I didn't actually need to go through the whole long route that I did, and turning right (Which led me to a dead end yesterday) was the right thing to do. Apparently the huge gaping hole at the dead end won't actually kill you if you jump down from it, so I did and afte...
Today was rough. Moving on from the Armor Spider, I got attacked by another one of those slave workers. He hit me once, and took off about 3/4 of my health. That can't be right, I thought. I then remembered a vendor in the middle of the dragon level selling some heavier armor which I couldn't buy then due to a lack of funds. Cutting my way to the vendor wasn't any trouble at all, and the armor...
Yesterday, I got murdered by a dragon while trying to cross a bridge. Later I learned that you can actually kill it by standing at the top of a tower and shooting at it. I tried to do so with my magic, but failed to hit it because it was too fast. I figured I should try using a bow. Problem! I don't have a bow! Went back to the hub and talked to the blacksmith dude, and he didn't have one. I th...
Here we go then. This game has one of the weirdest character creators I have ever seen. It has tons and tons of buttons to change every single thing about the face of your character, but whatever you try to do, it still looks ugly. After you've picked a gender, you get a gender slider. So you can choose how male or how female do you want your male or female character to be. Weird. After making...
Demon's Souls is an action RPG game developed by From Software and published by Atlus in 2009. It very quickly gathered a reputation for being tear-jerkingly, rage-induncingly and controller-throwingly difficult. Here, have some quotes: ---------- "Demon's Souls is difficult. Really, really difficult." - Playstation Official Magazine UK "A game best left to the most masochistic, hardcore gamer"...
