There are few games out there that can match Rayman Legends. It sets a new standard in charm and creativity, and it should positively be played by just about anyone with even the slightest interest in videogames. Picking up from where Rayman Origins left off, Legends takes everything one step above. It seems Rayman and…
Splinter Cell has always been in a continuing shift in tone and in gameplay. Double Agent introduced the concept that Sam Fisher isn’t always willing to be the good guy and Conviction showed that he’s pretty darn good at shoot outs. The latest entry in the series, Blacklist, attempts to appease fans on both sides…
When you wish upon a star, would you wish for a remake of your childhood’s favorite videogames? Besides my awful Disney pun, writing this review up is a fair opportunity to ask how far nostalgia can carry a game. As I was playing Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse HD, the remake to one of…
Ah, DuckTales. A huge part of some of the 1980s/early 1990s babies and certainly a part of mine. The videogame adaptation handled by Capcom for the NES is still considered by many one of the best platformers ever. Twenty something years later, it’s getting a high resolution remake, complete with voice acting from the original…
Castle of Illusion is easily one of SEGA Genesis’ most iconic games. And now that remakes are all around, it’s Mickey’s turn to get a facelift. SEGA is handling the remake and it’s soon to be released on Playstation 3 on September 3th and on Xbox 360 and PC on September 4th, for $15 or…
Growing up, I never got along with my brother. Even now, as adults, we hardly ever connect. In a way, our personalities are just not compatible. So every time I see any sort of sibling interaction in any medium or even in person, meeting someone, I always get a tinge of envy. Mostly because I’ve…
It’s a testament to Telltale Games’ skill as developers that they’re able to continuously craft interesting and believable characters. Very important for a franchise that thrives on character drama such as The Walking Dead. Last year’s inaugural season delivered spectacularly on this front. Everyone – from regulars to one-off individuals – felt real, relatable. But…
Grand Theft Auto 3 is undeniably one of the most influential games of the past decade. It basically started out what we have now come to call ‘open world’ games – with time, each of them becoming increasingly bigger and more ambitious than what came before. Undead Labs took that concept and married it to…
It’s easy to point out clichés in any sort of media. Videogames are no different. Putting ghosts and a murder mystery is what Murdered: Soul Suspect is all about. Taking place in Salem, Murdered stars detective Ronan O’Connor. Unluckily for Ronan, things aren’t looking up for him. He was just killed. While death is usually…
At first glance, State of Decay might look like a wild life survival game. Okay, that would be the case if it weren’t for the hordes of zombies, the piles of half-eaten dead bodies and trails of blood everywhere, that is. Even though the subject matter has more than been beaten to oblivious and treaded…
