First rule of storytelling: Is this the most interesting part of your protagonist’s life? If it isn’t, why aren’t you showing us that? Persona 4 way back in 2008 was a fairly fresh RPG with an eclectic and timeless cast. Then Atlus followed up a few years later with Arena and its fantastic sequel, and…
Reviewing a game like The Witcher 3 is more than just sitting down, playing a game and then writing about its ifs, whats, buts, and whys. Coming in as a fan of both the original game in a limited capacity and having considered Assassin of Kings, the previous entry in the series, one of my…
Few games today look as good as The Order: 1886. Ready at Dawn’s first foray outside of portable gaming is easily the most graphically intensive games out so far for the PlayStation 4. And while it’s certainly astonishingly detailed, a wonder for the eyes and ears, it’s a deeply flawed bare bones shooter. It’s a…
The Crew is Ubisoft’s newest attempt at setting an extra stake in yet another type of open world game. This time, they’re going for (what they really want you to believe how seedy it is) world of street racing. There’s an absurd amount of side stuff to do as you fit into the boots of…
For as much as we can say about high definition re-releases of video games over the last few years, for how easy a cash-in they can be or giving out judgment in regards to their quality, there’s one fact that can’t be denied: a great game from years ago can still be a great game…
For as great as some of your favorite games might be, I bet very few of them are worth revisiting after you are through with them. In my case, that’s generally what happens, anyway. For Shadow of Mordor, I’m in a crossroad, after being done with most of what it had to offer. If you take into…
Far Cry 4 is probably one of the craziest power fantasy games of the year. While it doesn’t stray very far from what its predecessor laid out — in fact, it’s incredibly similar to Far Cry 3 — it serves up just enough to stand on its on as an extremely fun, albeit overall silly…
Telltale Games’ premiere to Game of Thrones is a good reminder of just how exciting their format of adventure gaming can be. Although not exactly the most difficult or action driven game out there, their newest series starts out with an incredible bang in episode one, titled Iron from Ice. Starring one of the lesser…
The saying goes that if you want to steal from someone, you might as well steal from the best. While nobody could ever go as far as saying Shadow of Mordor steals, it certainly borrows the best elements of some of the most fun stealth games around and makes terrific use of them in one…
Survival horror sure has gone to the deep end in the years following its inception as a description given to a certain niche of games. What began with a healthy dose of originality with the Alone in the Dark games and saw a big boost thanks to the first Resident Evil, lasting for a while…
