Dark Review

Gary Smith5 Comments

Today we'll take a look at Dark, Kalypso and Realmforge's offering at the world of stealth-action games. Kalypso are the folks that brought us the last two games in the Tropico series, the Central American Dictator version of SimCity. Back to the game at hand, Dark is about a vampire. Ties in nicely with the stealth and action format don't you think? So did I, but this is where things start to go down hill. Buckle up boys and girls, this could get ugly. By now, well in to 2013, we are used to…

Madden NFL 25 Review

Gary Smith1 Comment

The 25th anniversary of the acclaimed Madden series is upon us and the game is in sort of a rough spot currently. Madden 25 hits stores on the 27th of August for current generation consoles PS3 and Xbox 360, and this version of the game is running on Infinity Engine 2.0 (an improvement over last year’s great new engine). However, there is also the looming reality that the next generation is almost here and Madden 25 will be making the jump to PS4 and Xbox One as a launch title when both systems…

Saints Row IV Review

Gary Smith7 Comments

My favorite gaming genre is third person shooter set in an open world. This generation has produced many of these types of games, and a lot of them have been really great. Riding horses and mowing down outlaws in Red Dead Redemption was awesome; skydiving and blowing stuff up in Just Cause 2 was great; visiting historically accurate settings like Rome and colonial America in the Assassin’s Creed franchise has been wonderful as well. Then there has been the Saints Row franchise, which has seen…

NCAA Football 14 Review

Gary Smith2 Comments

It’s July, and besides fireworks that can only mean one thing… a new NCAA Football is upon us. It’s hard to believe, but thankfully it is indeed almost time once again for the greatest of all sports: college football. The new season begins at the end of August, and that gives us plenty of time to run through the upcoming season controlling our favorite teams in dynasty or season mode and see what the future holds in store. One complaint people always have about annual titles like NCAA Football…

Storm Review

Gary Smith1 Comment

Storm has been a most curious game. I first posted the trailers for the game two years ago when it was coming to PSN, and then it did hit PSN. But for some reason the game was pulled from the store without a reason. The game finally released in mid-June for PSN and XBLA. So what is Storm? Well, it is a “physics” based weather puzzle game. Your goal in Storm is simple: use the elements to get a seed off a tree and into fertile ground to grow a new tree. The levels are played out over four seasons…

The Last of Us Review

Gary Smith13 Comments

I’ve gone back and forth trying to decide how I wanted to handle this review. The Last of Us released this past Friday, and of course, it was a hugely anticipated PS3 exclusive. Reviews from the larger Metacritic outlets went up weeks ago, and so by now people who may have been on the fence before will have seen dozens and dozens of all positive reviews and have likely purchased the game. So with that said, I’m going to do something different with this review; I’m going to talk spoilers. Don’t…

Remember Me Review

Gary Smith2 Comments

Today we're going to be taking a look at Remember Me, a third-person action-adventure offering from the folks at Dontnod Entertainment and Capcom. When I first heard about this game, I was intrigued, but I didn't get my expectations very high. Perhaps that worked to my advantage, but regardless, this was a quality offering and I thoroughly enjoyed my time with this game, and I look forward to getting back to it down the line somewhere. So with that said, let's get down to some specifics. Anyone…

Call of Juarez Gunslinger Review

Gary Smith11 Comments

It’s a funny thing when a franchise can have three retail games available, the last of which is widely considered to be quite bad, and then have a fourth game be reduced down to a cheap digital only title. Now you may be asking “well what’s funny about that?” and the funny thing is the $15 downloadable title with almost no promotion whatsoever is easily the best game in the franchise. And it’s not even close. After the horrible decision to take Call of Juarez to the present day with “The…

Bad Bots Reviews

Gary Smith1 Comment

In Bad Bots you play as Sam McRae, a mechanic on a garbage hauling space ship known as the Titan Hauler that used to be the pride of a space naval fleet. Sam awakens to find that the robots on the ship have gone mad and killed the crew, and the ship is now headed for Earth and who knows what kind of havoc these mad robots will do there? And so you have your reason to pick up an axe and some guns and go about slaughtering many, many robots. Honestly, the story, which is told in comic style panels…

Soul Sacrifice Review

Gary Smith5 Comments

Well, I've had yet another ordeal getting to this point with Soul Sacrifice. My Gamestop claimed their shipment hadn't come in, so I didn't pick up the game on the release date. I went back two days later, and the guy working said it had come in prior to the release date because he was there when it came in. I can already hear Gary telling me this is why he doesn't go to Gamestop. Beyond that, I've been really busy at work lately, so this might be a bit shorter than most of my other reviews. I…

Metro Last Light Review

Eric W.

In a post apocalyptic not too distant future a year after the events of the first game, protagonist Artyom returns to face the consequences and fallout of the events of that game and it's a more refined but equally as intense, dark, and immersive experience as Metro 2033 ever was. For some reason there were concerns that this game was going to be “dumbed down for the Call of Duty crowd” and I am happy to report that is not the case. If you loved the first game you will absolutely love this and…

Sacred Citadel Review

Gary Smith1 Comment

Sacred Citadel is the latest game in the Sacred franchise, but this one is a digital only title that serves as the prequel to the upcoming Sacred 3. Unlike the retail releases of Sacred proper, which are Action RPG’s, Citadel here is a side-scrolling beat ‘em up that harkens back to some old school classics. There are some RPG elements here; there are four characters to choose from and you’ll level them up and upgrade their abilities, pick up or purchase new weapons and armor, and so on. The…

Dead Island Riptide Review

Gary Smith5 Comments

Despite watching and enjoying gameplay videos, I never actually got around to the first Dead Island games. It ended up being one of those games on a long list of titles that I mean to get and play but don’t for whatever reason. Now there’s Dead Island: Riptide and it seems like its somewhere in between sequel and expansion. The game begins where the first one left off; the good news here is that if you’re like me and didn’t play the original, you’re not really going to be loss. If you played the…

Lego City Undercover Review

Gary Smith1 Comment

Chase McCain returns to Lego City right after criminal mastermind and all around bad guy Rex Fury has escaped from prison. McCain is the... umm... man (?) that did most of the work to bring Fury to justice and lead to his arrest. The man that actually made that arrest was Marion Dunby, an incompetent policeman that rode that success to the office of Chief of Police. Of course he does not care for our hero, that would require admitting he doesn't deserve the acclaim and praise. Anyway, with…

BioShock Infinite (PC) Review

Eric W.

I'll state it upfront: This game will be on my Game of the Year shortlist without a doubt and it's set a very high bar for the remainder of this year across the board. I know that's a bold claim and challenge considering this only March as I write this review but that's the kind of impression this game has left with me. I have the same feeling coming off this game as I did after I had finished playing the first Bioshock. I'd played a game that almost transcended the genre and was something…

BioShock Infinite Review

Gary Smith2 Comments

Note: BioShock Infinite was played to completion on “Hard” difficulty. This first playthrough took between 10 and 11 hours to complete, and I did not seek out every collectible (sight seeing or the voxphones) this time through. When I got my PlayStation 3 in 2009, I got a bunch of games to go with it. One of those was BioShock, and out of the entire stack BioShock was the very first one I played. My first PSN trophy was “Toaster in the Tub,” and it was also the first PS3 game that I beat. The…

DmC: Devil May Cry Review

For those familiar with the Devil May Cry series, you will know that Dante is a Demon Hunter. For those not familiar with the series, Dante is a Demon Hunter. He is seeking revenge for the murder of his mother. At least he is in this telling, I have not played the original series, so I'm not sure off hand if that was the plot for those games. Turns out demons are running some things in Limbo City, brainwashing the public through their Raptor News Network and delicious Mountain De... uhhh... I…

Tomb Raider Review

Eric W.3 Comments

In many years I could sign off on this game as "Game Of The Year" outright. It's that good. In a year like 2013 is shaping up to be and the fact that this game came out early enough in it, the jury is still out. I can guarantee that by the end of the year this game will be still on many people's GOTY shortlists, including mine. That's probably enough of a review right there for a lot of people but wait, as they say, there's more! I'm going to explain how and why I think so highly of this game…

Jetpack Joyride is a free to play game for a host of different platforms (iOS, Android, PS3/Vita, Windows), and this review in particular covers both the PS3 and the Android version (running on a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2) since those are the two versions that I’ve played (the game plays the same no matter what though). The game is an auto-runner, all you have to do is tap the screen or press a button to make your man move up the screen to dodge stuff and collect coins. In a lot of ways, it reminds…
