Beginning back in 2006, publisher and developer Capcom first brought Dead Rising to the gaming stage as a fresh new zombie title that would go on to lead a critically acclaimed horror series of hack and slash gameplay condensed to a 72 hour period. Ten years (and a few games)...
Rive
Rive is a retro styled platforming shooter that features fast-paced action and polished mechanics. While it shines in many aspects mechanically, some of the level design is imperfect and the inherent challenge often hinges on surprise obstacles. The experience is unquestionably solid, but many people may be turned off by the difficulty...
Halcyon 6 coined itself as a “retro sci-fi strategy survival game with base building, tactical combat, crew management and emergent storytelling.”, and it hit every single one of those genres on the head, amazingly enough. Too often, a game tries to be so many things at once, and often ends...
I can’t think of a recent game that left me more confused after I completed the tutorial than The Tomorrow Children. Everything had gone swimmingly up until that point, as I had gone over the basics of mining and crafting, but then I was left off to explore the mysterious...
FIFA 17
“Who are ya? Who are ya?” chanted the opposition fans. It was my debut game as Alex Hunter for the defending Premier League Champions, Leicester City. The stadium was rocking, and the atmosphere was electrifying as I went up against Paris SG in a pre-season tournament. FIFA 17’s new mode,...
Turn 10 Studios & Playground Games are back with the latest addition to the Forza Horizon franchise. Forza Horizon 3 truly is the perfect sequel. It takes everything we enjoy about the Forza Horizon franchise and adds just enough to keep it fresh. If you’re a Horizon fan seeking confirmation...
A silent young hero fast asleep, his father leaving in the middle of the night. Crawling through dungeons with sword and shield in hand, a host of tools and magic at your disposal as you overthrow monstrous bosses in themed dungeons, gathering the necessary gems that will grant you the...
Nothing beats an all out street fight. Digitally, I mean. Thunderous pixel on pixel contact and brutal digital beep-boops can really make one’s day, or ruin it. It’s amazing really, how simple button mashing mechanics can feel so different from game to game. Streets of Rage 2 and Guacamelee are...
NHL 17
To those who are new to EA’s NHL game series, a bit of background: in 2015, NHL released on the latest-gen consoles to mostly disappointment. Many of the game’s modes had been stripped-out, leaving a lot of longtime fans feeling cheated. Then, last year, NHL 16 represented a comeback of...
Assetto Corsa
The latest contender in the racing simulation genre, Assetto Corsa, manages to deliver consistent and sound racing controls, but everything around it is less than stellar. I compare it to the both excellent and average Gran Turismo 5 as Assetto Corsa plays well but is surrounded by antiquated menus and...
Nuka World is sure to take you on a wild ride, but there are many ups and downs. The final piece of Fallout 4 DLC is out, and yet again Bethesda has managed to maintain their love-hate relationship with me. All aboard the Nuka Express.
