Latest Reviews
inFAMOUS: Second Son has been on my radar since E3 last year. A big reveal to go alongside the announcement of the PS4, I was certainly interested but not nearly as interested as I should have been. If it hadn’t been for review duties I would have faithfully checked the...
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...
Titanfall
There is no sense in going over what the recently released Titanfall means to the Xbox One as a whole, as it’s well known that Microsoft has put a lot of stock into this Xbox One (as well as 360 and PC) exclusive EA published first person shooter. What is...
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...
Rayman Legends
It seems as if Rayman Legends is the little game that just won’t quit. From the Wii U to the Vita to the PS3 and Xbox 360 we now have the inevitable port to the PS4 and Xbox One. While the game itself is largely the same as its predecessors...
When EA and Pop Cap revealed Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare at E3 back in June of 2013 I’ll have to admit that I was counted among the skeptics. Not only that I was surprised to see that a mobile game that was more based on a tower defense sort...
Strider
I always enjoy checking out remakes of games that were originally released back in the more formative years of my gaming life, in this case the 1980’s. Strider has seen various releases on various consoles over the years but this reimagining of the original game marks the first time Strider...
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...
If there is one absolutely infallible truth about life it is this – YOU ARE NEVER TOO OLD TO PLAY WITH LEGO. That goes doubly true if you’re a guy, I’m 36 and saving up for a LEGO Ewok Village to which I have no shame whatsoever. In LEGO’s ever...
It hit me last night. As I was playing a bit more Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze before penning my review I realized just how maddening this game can be. I lifted my GamePad up in the air after yet another untimely death and I almost threw it across the...
The Last of Us is one of those rare gems in gaming that brings an experience so moving and so intense that it leaves an impression on anyone who plays it. One of 2013’s biggest hits, it is definitely a tough act to follow. Naughty Dog was definitely up to...
Dustforce
I didn’t even know there was a PC version of this game before I started playing the PS3 version, so I was delightfully surprised to find that Dustforce is the little platformer that could! *Author’s note: Many, many sweeping jokes were played with but I figured you’d heard them all...
