This is the end of the Crysis trilogy now, and I hope Crytek takes the opportunity to reset and look for new ways to innovate the FPS genre. No one else is, and with Crysis 3 the developers have pushed this current formula as far as it can go. In...
I also had the opportunity to test the game on the Wii U, and it’s functionally the same although it’s clearly not optimsed as well. There’s some frame rate issues and the odd graphical glitch that I didn’t notice in my PS3 playthrough. Not enough to affect the overall quality...
But I came into Dead Space 3 expecting a horror game. My expectations were not matched and so I am disappointed. Sorry EA, but please for the love of God don’t ever throw a big budget at a horror game again.
These are all minor complaints in the grand scheme of things, and I’ll point to my video review of Zen Pinball 2 on the PS3, as the experience is much the same on the Wii U. It’s still the finest pinball game out there, it’s just not the best version...

In terms of the game itself, I also have an issue with the lack of a dedicated block button. Having come to grips with the excellent counter system of Dead or Alive 5, I find it hard to play any fighting game that lacks the ability to interrupt enemy combos....
That said this game deserves props for doing such a great job in taking the League of Legends formula and adapting it for the console audience. This is a greatly enjoyable game, and a very easy recommend for people who like the Lord of the Rings license, or multiplayer competitive...
So how about we do this nice and bold, and then stick a score that’s right down the middle: If you do believe that games are art, and that gaming can offer more than dumb entertainment, then buy it. If games are nothing more than a stress release to you,...
Overall though these minor interface quirks that do very little to hurt the appeal of one of the finest RPGs of all time. Just comparing this game to Bioware’s later games (Dragon Age and Mass Effect, for instance), is revealing. It shows us that Bioware has lost a great deal...
Make no mistake, though, this is a port only for the people who haven’t played the game elsewhere. And for all its hype, it’s also not a game for RPG fans. It really is just another great Sci-Fi shooter hiding under the thinnest veil of player interactivity.
All these words of course just boil down to what I said at the start: Need for Speed Most Wanted is cool. It’s slick, hugely entertaining, and yes, Criterion still knows how to make crashes simultaneously painful to watch and a feast for the eyes.
