Back in 2011 we saw the return of platforming classic Rayman with Rayman Origins. The game was greatly enjoyed by almost all who played it, yet in a world where platformers are no longer king, it never quite achieved the popularity to match its quality. Now we have yet another entry in the franchise, with … Continue reading
Like the Jetstream Sam DLC before it, Blade Wolf continues to build the lore surrounding the Metal Gear Rising world with another look at a side character. This time around we are treated to a behind the scenes glimpse at IF Prototype LQ-84i, also known as Blade Wolf. We visit the enemy-turned good guy before … Continue reading
Metal Gear Rising Revengeance was a surprising title that managed to emerge from development limbo and resulted in a great game. The first DLC for the game has come out and it gives players a chance to see how the other side lives. The most memorable character from the game by far was Jetstream Sam … Continue reading
With previous DLCs for Mass Effect 3, the emphasis was on fleshing out the details of the story to ‘fix’ the notoriously criticized ending to the trilogy. With the latest and last DLC for Mass Effect in the Shepard era, Bioware has gone in the completely opposite direction. Citadel isn’t about fixing anything. It’s a … Continue reading
One of the more under appreciated genres lately is the insanely over-the-top action game. Titles such as Bayonetta, Asura’s Wrath and, now, Metal Gear Rising Revengeance offer incredibly unique experiences that make very little attempt to take themselves seriously. While the mechanics are fun, these games will be remembered much more for the experience of … Continue reading
During my initial play through of Mass Effect 3, it seemed something was missing from the last installment of my favorite sci-fi videogame franchise. It wasn’t until my second play through that I realized what it was. The Omega Station, which was such a huge part of Mass Effect 2, was only mentioned briefly in … Continue reading
When Microsoft announced that Bungie was leaving to become an independent studio, Halo fans around the world instantly became worried. The unproven 343 Industries, a company constructed for the sole purpose of making Halo, was now left with the mammoth burden of continuing the legacy of one of the biggest franchises in video games today. … Continue reading
As you walk down a narrow street criss-crossed overhead with what you only hope is clean laundry, dozens of vendors shout annoyingly in your ears, hawking their equally ridiculous and questionable wares. Everything from food to clothing, cd’s and even “massages” are all for sale here on the crowded streets of Hong Kong, but with … Continue reading
Nostalgia can be a funny sort of thing. Most of the time, it forces us to see history through rose-tinted glasses and in turn blinds us. This was the dilemma I was in before I found myself replaying the games featured in the Zone of the Enders HD Collection. These games are often lauded by … Continue reading
It seems like just a couple months ago that we were hearing about Firaxis’ new game, an actual reboot to the classic PC franchise XCOM. Unlike the still-in-progress first person shooter, Enemy Unknown is a true turn-based strategy game down to its core. Even better, it’s a very good entry in the waning genre. The premise … Continue reading
The Assassin’s Creed franchise is one that I’ve had a number of fears about for a while. Stagnation is a dangerous thing within the industry. After Assassin’s Creed: Revelations, my fear was that the franchise had burned itself out with the yearly release model put in place by Ubisoft. I was hopeful for Assassin’s Creed … Continue reading
Mass Effect 3 has seen its share of multiplayer DLC packs [not to mention the whole ‘let’s change the ending a bit because people complained’ DLC] but hasn’t had any paid single-player DLC since From Ashes released on launch day. This week Bioware is hoping to reel us back into the game by releasing the Leviathan DLC Pack. If … Continue reading
