The Bureau: XCOM Declassified Review
Platforms: PC, Playstation 3, and Xbox 360 (reviewed) You really do have to feel for The Bureau: XCOM Declassified. It suffered through such a tumultuous development, that it’s almost amazing it made it into the wild at all. Chris Plante over at Polygon wrote a really interesting piece about how it came to be in the […]
Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Review
Platforms: Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 (reviewed) I’d have thought you crazy if you were to tell me that the same studio responsible for The Darkness and Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay was going to make a game that would affect me emotionally more than any other game released this year. Brothers: A […]
Magic: The Gathering – Duels of the Planeswalkers 2014 Review
Platforms: Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 (reviewed), iOS, Android It is summer time and we know all know what that means. No, I’m not talking about burning alive in the hot sun or possible death from heat stroke. Well those are legitimately answers as well, but I’m talking specifically about a new Magic: The […]
State of Decay Review
Platform: Xbox 360 Every once and a while, a game goes completely under the radar before it finds itself on either physical or digital shelves. State of Decay fell into that category when I turned on my 360 a couple of weeks ago to see what was new. After playing the demo, I was convinced […]
Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon Review
Platforms: PC, Playstation 3, and Xbox 360 (reviewed) Blood Dragon is quite the sales pitch for Far Cry 3. While the first two Far Cry games didn’t do much that I felt like latching onto them, I never even gave the third entry a try. After putting in six or eight hours into Blood Dragon, I […]
Tomb Raider Review
Platforms: Microsoft Windows, OS X, Linux, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360 (reviewed), Xbox One Note: This review only includes thoughts on the single player experience. Tomb Raider is a franchise that I’ve never been particularly fond of. I’ve played a few games in the series and they weren’t bad, but the tongue-in-cheek nature of […]
Rock Out With Your Cart Out
I’ve been a fan of video game soundtracks since I first heard Koji Kondo’s handling of the original The Legend of Zelda. Hearing the music from that game, like so many other people my age, takes me back to a simpler time in my life and reminds me of the passion that I had, and […]
Fortune Favors the Bold and Death Favors the Dumb
26 June 2015 – Guadalajara, Mexico I sent my team to stop alien abductions in a city I can barely pronounce. Fairly straightforward operation – touch down, wipe out the aliens, head back to base. Colonel Ruben “Richter” Marquez and Major Zahara “Pox” Manana took shots and were out of service for a few days. […]
Magic: The Gathering – Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013 Ravnica DLC Review
Platforms: Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 (reviewed), iOS When I reviewed Magic: The Gathering – Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013 earlier this summer I speculated that there might be some DLC coming out that would involve Return to Ravnica (an upcoming set in the trading card game). I’m happy to say that this has […]
Rock Band Blitz Review
Platforms: PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 (reviewed) I’m a sucker for music games and Rock Band has long been my game of choice, but to say I was skeptical about Rock Band Blitz would be quite the understatement. Luckily, Blitz turns out to be a great game, but how much enjoyment you’ll get out of it […]
