Armikrog
Point and click adventure titles are the sort of game we often look back on with fond memories, but sadly, they don’t tend to age well for the most part. Armikrog is a victim of this sort of design mindset, and feels like an adventure game from back in the...
Some of these ants are jerks and need to be locked up though. They’ve been convicted of murder, break and enters, theft, and all manner of other violent crimes, so you’ll need to build cells and other special facilities in order keep your staff and the other prisoners safe. You’re...
Rock Band 4
From 2007 to 2010, music games were all the rage with multiple titles being released each year from both Activision and Harmonix. 2009 alone saw the release of almost 10 Guitar Hero and Rock Band games, so it was no wonder that the genre crashed and burned the following year....
Velocibox
Reflex games like Race the Sun or Unpossible can really test your patience, commitment, and sanity. The same level might take you thirty seconds and one attempt, or it might take an hour and over thirty tries before you can finally move on. Velocibox is no exception. It adds a...
Destiny has not been without its critics. From the day the game first launched many people have voiced their opinion as they have either hated it or really loved it. There have been two expansion packs since the game launched in September 2014 and, as with the original core game,...
I was eager to get some hands-on time with World of Warships mostly even though I don’t really go in for vehicular combat games. I know Wargaming.net has a solid history of producing quality freemium MMOs, starting with their flagship title World of Tanks, which was released back in 2011....
What happens when you take a franchise with unbelievably repetitive gameplay and shoehorn in a perennially popular manga/anime? You get One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3 – a repetitive game featuring a classic anime story and characters.
NHL 16
As a lifelong hockey fan, I have a special place in my heart for EA’s NHL video game series. I grew up playing the legendary NHL 94 with my friends, on the Sega Genesis system, making those one-timers, and always picking Jeremy Roenick because, for some reason, he couldn’t be...
Dropsy
And success, in Dropsy, is its own reward. The townspeople that Dropsy help along the way kick their depressed funk, crack a smile, and hug the clown they’d demonized moments before. This is cathartic, and it’s hard not to crack a smile as Dropsy meets their happiness with unequaled enthusiasm....
Convoluted stories and top notch stealth mechanics have been staples of every Metal Gear release. My first contact with the series was back in 2002 when I saw a used copy of Metal Gear Solid 2 for sale at Blockbuster Video. At that time I knew nothing about the series...
Here we are starting to round out the back half of 2015 and the parade of remasters, re-releases and definitive editions just keeps on coming. What started with Tomb Raider (the first definitive edition I remember covering for current gen) has evolved to these graphical bump-ups hitting store shelves and...
This is the first game in the franchise to implement a 3D world to explore. This shift has allowed for more creative hiding places for its collectible items, with the occasional secret room accessible via puzzle or platform. Yet, this choice accounts for a lack of variation in obstacles and...
