Shadow Complex is a Metroidvania platformer that came out in 2009. It was released by Epic Games. People loved it. This isn’t a surprise because it is a well-made game with plenty to do and Peter David wrote it. He’s one of my favorite writers, he’s written for Hulk, Star Trek, and he had this […]
Tom Clancy’s The Division is unlike any Tom Clancy game before it. It has a lot of the same themes that those games had, stuff like future military tech, political storylines and combat that feels tactical. But instead of being a more standard shooter, like the older Rainbow Six games, The Division is an open […]
Superhot is a fascinating new take on the first-person shooter genre. It combines elements of first-person shooters with elements of strategy by slowing everything in the game to bullet time. You start each level often surrounded by several enemies, creatively called “red guys,” and proceed to murder the ever-living heck out of them until you […]
Ori and the Blind Forest is a Metroidvania platformer that came out around this time last year. It was a beautiful game produced by Moon Studios that looks and feels like you are playing your way through the mind of Hayao Miyizaki. The story is all about love, forgiveness, and hope while the villain is […]
“This is stupid,” I said to myself, my grin getting wider and more pronounced, my excitement reaching a fever pitch. It occurs to me that this is the most honest description of Broforce I can give. I played the game and knew what I was doing was absurd. It’s over the top, the story is threadbare, the action […]
The snow is falling on the ground. Around me are large, dangerous mammoths. Somewhere nearby I hear a wolf’s howl. I tightly grip my spear and slowly crawl through some plants, being careful not to agitate the large and hairy beasts that surround me. Suddenly a roar rips through the cold air. I turn around […]
PopCap Games and EA have actually managed to pump out a really good third person shooter game that offers a plethora of crazy, zany fun. Their second iteration of the Plants vs. Zombies multiplayer “spinoff” game (if I can even really call it that) is packed with a ton of action and odd humor. Plants […]
After dabbling with the Borderlands, Game of Thrones and Minecraft franchises, Telltale Games return to their most successful franchise they worked on, The Walking Dead, but this time with a familiar character. The Walking Dead: Michonne stars the sword-wielding badass during untold times between issues 126 and 139 in the comics. While it also takes […]
What is Devil’s Daggers? My heartbeat is racing and my entire body is tense. I can’t hear anything around me. All of my focus is on my monitor. All of my brain energy is being used to move around flying skulls. I dodge and dart between skulls and other demonic beings. My hands are sweaty […]
After four beta phases and some surprise online stress tests, it seems like we were all ready for the final version of Capcom’s Street Fighter V. Thanks to a little help from Sony, the latest fighting sequel of the premier fighting game franchise is rising up to be the biggest one yet from both casual […]
