If you’re into trippy games with unique visual styles assuming you’re okay with the epilepsy warnings, then Dyad is the perfect game for you.
If you thought the first episode of TellTale’s The Walking Dead put you in tough situations, in terms of decision making, this second episode, Starved For Help, gets more intense as you’ll be put on the spot more to make decisions that will change relationships for better or worse for the future of the series.
From the robust and currently unmatched training mode, solid online play, the deepest fighting system compared to its competition and the low price point of $15 (free for Playstation Plus owners this month), Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown is a superb package for fighting game fans old and new.
It’s been 5 years since the last proper Ghost Recon title, and now, Ghost Recon: Future Soldier is stepping up to the plate. It’s a game rich with military intricacies that standout in a world chalk full of military shooters, but minor structural quirks restrain it from developing into something outstanding and exceptional.
Since its initial announcement, commentary on Capcom’s latest game, an open world action-RPG has been divided into two groups. On one hand, there were those optimistic about the game and it’s climbing monster-climbing mechanic, and looked forward to its release. On the other side of the conversation were those who flat out rejected the game, and dismissed it as destined for failure. Personally, there was no part of the phrase “open world action-RPG with giant monster battles” that failed to capture my full attention, and previews and demos both did little to dismiss my high hopes from despite the mixed reviews surrounding its announcement. The midnight release at the local GameStop indicated a shared enthusiasm at least in my neighborhood, so as I settled in to begin the game during the wee hours of the morning, my hopes remained high. From the demo, early comparisons of the game described its style as a balance between Dark Souls and Shadow of the Colossus, so armed only with my controller, I set out into the world of Gransys with my chin held high — I was immediately met with crushing amounts of disappointment.
Rockstar Games has been amazing at making dark, and mature gaming experiences this generation as Max Payne 3 is no exception. It is arguably their darkest and most gritty game yet and that is what makes it one experience you should not miss this year.
After a year and a half wait, does Sonic The Hedgehog 4: Episode II make us forget about the disappointing first episode?
Starhawk creates something new from the cohesion of previous genres. It’s creation that feels new at times, while too familiar at others. It’s pulled down by its single-player components, but can it be saved by its robust and versitile multiplayer matches?
Skullgirls doesn’t deliver on its promises of a newcomer friendly training system and its raw content is pretty light, especially in terms of single player.
