Mega64: Introducing Assassin’s Creed V, VI, and VIII

Mega64 It’s pretty strange how Assassin’s Creed became that kind of once a year game. Then again, a lot of game franchises have become once a year releases that we normally use to associate with sports games and Call of Duty. I guess it’s because for games like Assassin’s Creed II, each game that came …

Demos Decide: Army of Two: The Devil’s Cartel

It’s actually becoming, to me, quite the shock just how many people read my demo reviews. I thought that they’d be floating in the vast recesses of the web awkwardly stumbling across people and asking them to read. Instead, my reviews are being read by a lot of people. I guess I really should be …

Demos Decide: Tom Clancy’s Rainbow 6: Vegas

If there’s one thing that I pay attention to quite frequently like it’s a new boyfriend is the most popular demos page on the Xbox marketplace. Upon my investigation of the stack one Wednesday morning after I gawped at all the games on sale this week I saw a Tom Clancy demo that I’d never …

Full Analysis: Year Walk Part 1 – A Glimpse Into the Future

It’s rare that I play any Ipad game to completion. To be frank, a lot of them just aren’t good, either suffering from just a lack of meaningful game play experiences, pay walls, poor controls, or just being bad games in general. Then I heard a recommendation for this adventure game called Year Walk and …

Demos Decide: Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance

its 2013 and that means that the game industry is moving away from games that tickle the critical thinking membrane in order to make room for standard hack and slash video games… but that’s just my bias opinion as a disabled gamer.   From the developers of the Metal Gear Solid games comes a sort …

Dishonored: Prodigious Reviews

(I know I have been away for a while, but I am back again and hopefully I’ll be posting a lot more frequently. Enjoy!) Has anyone ever told you revenge solves nothing? It turns out, they were wrong. Revenge is a dish best served bloody in this story of allies and enemies gone horribly awry. …

Review: Halo 4: The Legendary Continuation

  When 343 Industries was announced as the developer of the power-house franchise Halo, taking the reins from creator Bungie, many fans were either enraged or excited. The average consensous behind changes in development on a big name game series is fear. This idea of fear is not entirely unfounded. Take for example the great …

Full Analysis: Kingdom Hearts 3D

Kingdom Hearts has a been one of the action RPG series to play for the last 10 years. It is a mixture of innovative ideas and appealing storylines which is one part what makes it such a great series, even though in theory, this franchise should have crashed and burned upon conception.

Offworld: Robot Pokemon Is…Okay?

The thing that got me interested in even checking out this game is that it is free and while it does us a model that makes you pay real money, it seems to be for only for content that can be deemed extra (additional copies of robots you own). This game is okay, but this …

Mass Effect 3: Leviathan DLC Review

Bioware has been in an odd state these days, what with the original disappointing endings and the huge fan revolt in a want to see a new set of ones. They remedied that with the Extended Cut, making each selection so very different in their own rights (as they should have been), and back at …

That Odd Mash-Up Between The Legend of Zelda and Westerns – Fistful of Rupees

So let me start this off with that I do really appreciate fan films like this. I think the effort is great and I think the time and dedication they apply to a project like this is step above just normal fans. However, I do not think that makes them immune to criticism, of which …

Random Elements Done Wrong in Future Soldier: Requires More Thought Not Bigger Maps

If you have followed some of my earlier articles, you might know that I don’t just like the idea of random elements in games, I embrace it. Random elements can make games that requires more than just practice and planning, but also requiring quick, adaptive thinking and excellent foresight. When random is done right, games …

Endless Space – It’s Great, Even in the Alpha

Endless Space.   It’s a  great game, despite being developed as a full release title by a French indie developer. I recently bought it off of steam, and to my surprise, what I thought it was, and what its shaping up to be are completely different. What I thought it would be like is a …

Death of the Developer: Rewriting Barthes’ Concept for Videogame

Looks like 2012 isn’t the year the Earth will die, but the year humanity torn themselves apart (well, not really). March started off the year huge with the Mass Effect 3 controversy, which is still going strong, and now it looks like new contentions are introducing themselves into the gaming world. Earlier this year Phil …
