Critical opinions about the world of games.
Brazil Game Show is also a big event for independent developers, and in between appointments and hands-on demos that were held in the ‘indie avenue’ of São Paulo’s Expo Center Norte, I was able to have a quick chat with Mario Silveira, the CEO of 2Axion Games, the Los Angeles based studio behind the free-to-play… Continue reading BGS 2018: Trigger Run is a fun, more casual and lighter load alternative to Overwatch and Paladins
To Traveller’s Tales’ senior producer Matthew Ellison, the most important aspect to the LEGO games is their accessibility and how creatively they make use of their licenses. I had the opportunity to sit down and chat with him for a few minutes at Brazil Game Show last week, where Warner Bros was showing off the… Continue reading BGS 2018: A chat with Traveller’s Tales’ Super-Villain, er… Senior Producer Matthew Ellison
What Dreams lacked in showing of its creation suite it more than made up by the sheer amount of variety with the custom games that I played in the demo that was on display at the BGS Sony show floor. Media Molecule is best known for LittleBigPlanet and the heaps of user-created content that have… Continue reading BGS 2018: Dreams shows an incredible amount of creative potential
There’s no bigger franchise in the world than Pokémon. The evergoing phenomenon is showing no sign of slowing down, and has been trucking along for just about twenty years. Pokémon Blue is still one of my most fondly remembered gaming experiences, and although I’ve since fallen out of the series only to get back to… Continue reading BGS 2018: Pokémon Let’s Go feels great to play thanks to the pokéball accessory
When the original PlayStation hit, I was all about the Nintendo 64, so unlike a lot of folks who grew up in the 1990s, my fondest platforming memories lie with the Super Nintendo and Nintendo 64, namely the Super Mario games. Still, I would be lying if I told you I never dabbled with those… Continue reading BGS 2018: If you loved these games in the past, Spyro Reignited Trilogy will burn bright with nostalgia
Days Gone has been a hard game to pin down as something that I’m dying to play ever since its announcement a couple of E3s back. It has always felt way too similar to The Last of Us in terms of setting, as both deal with some sort of zombie apocalypse or another, and gameplay,… Continue reading BGS 2018: As the crow flies straight, so will Days Gone in 2019
If you thought From Software was done with the Dark Souls formula, think again. Now under the Activision banner, director Hidetaka Miyazaki is at it again, this time taking us for a ride in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. And from the 40 minutes or so I spent playing the game at Brazil Game Show, all… Continue reading BGS 2018: Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice snuck its way into and stabbed my heart
Kingdom Come: Deliverance seems to have become one of my traditional stops whenever I’m in a trade show nowadays. I’ve seen it way before it was out at E3, a second time when it was just about ready to be released, and now, for a third, in my hometown of São Paulo during Brazil Game… Continue reading BGS 2018: Kingdom Come: Deliverance’s Amorous Adventure DLC brings comedy to Bohemia
I have to make an admission: I quit trying to get into Kingdom Hearts early. I gave my best trying to play the original games on PlayStation 2, but after some horrendous platforming, I gave up. The series lore is one of the most hyped things about it, but for that very reason, I was… Continue reading BGS 2018: Toy Story convinced me to give Kingdom Hearts III a try — I had a blast
Resident Evil’s lore has gotten to the point of sheer absurdity after so many years and even more in games, so it feels good to think back when things were simpler and still not completely convoluted. Days when we only knew that Wesker has a normal dude who happened to be a bad guy, and… Continue reading BGS 2018: Claire meets William Birkin eye to arm-eye in the newest Resident Evil 2 demo
