There is no question Shinji Mikami’s primary goal with “The Evil Within” was to scare the absolute bejeezus out of anyone who dared to pick up the game. To a large degree his team at Tango Gameworks have successfully managed to accomplish that goal. You will jump out of your...
The Major League Baseball season has been in full swing for over a month. Likewise, Sony’s highly touted MLB: The Show franchise has been in PS3 owner’s hands for several weeks now. Given MLB 14: The Show for the PS4 was slated for a May 2014 release I held out...
Dark Souls II
When Dark Souls landed on my doorstep some two and half years ago, initially I wasn’t crazy about it. I distinctly recall those first few hours into Dark Souls and how it tested my every last nerve. I never played Demon Souls, so I had no clue what Dark Souls...
When South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker approached developer Obsidian Entertainment 4-years ago to make a South Park role playing game, I doubt they realized how much of an undertaking it would be. There is no way they could have envisioned all those setbacks along the way. Despite...
Thief
To say the Thief community has patiently waited for Garrett the Master Thief to return would be an understatement. Fans have been chomping at the bit for some 10-years waiting for a new Thief game. With releases in 1998, 2000 and 2004, the Thief franchise managed to build themselves an...
FIFA 14
As we inch closer to the big day, many moms, dads, brothers or drunk uncles are looking for that must have Xbox One game to put under the tree. Let’s face it none of the launch games scream “you must own this”. Sure Forza 5 and Dead Rising 3 are...
Dead Rising 3
There is something about open world sandbox style games we all love. Whether it be Saints Row IV or Grand Theft Auto V, we seem to have no problem dropping some hard earned cash on a game that gives us that ability to explore an open world setting, complete endless...
As I looked over Activision’s ‘Destiny’ and ‘Call of Duty: Ghosts’ booths at E3 this year one thing jumped out and slapped me in the face: Destiny hauled in a crap load of E3 awards while Ghosts had none. Not one award at E3. Okay, maybe one award for “best...
As I was sweating away to Lady Gaga’s “Applause” in the middle of my living room, I came to terms with a few brutal honest truths about myself. One, I am out of shape as thirty seconds into the song and I found myself huffing and puffing. Two, I am...
Madden NFL 25
The leap from Madden NFL 12 to Madden NFL 13 was significant. We saw the addition of Connected Careers, the new Infinity Engine where no two tackles are supposed to look alike and the addition of Total Control Passing. By no means was Madden NFL 13 the definitive Madden experience...
Saints Row IV
It is over-the-top, wacky and downright nonsensical. There isn’t much that makes a heck of a lot of sense. There are many WTF moments and other instances where I am questioning the path the developers are taking me on. There are even some occasions where I say to myself: “that...
The Last of Us
Last year at E3, Naughty Dog’s “The Last of Us” was my undisputed most memorable game from the show. Despite not even getting my hands on the game while on the show floor, and only watching the demo from the cheap seats at the Sony E3 Press Conference where “The...
