Borderlands 3 Review

Gary Smith

It’s been about three weeks since Borderlands 3 released, and thus far I’ve put in around 54 hours into the game on one character. Within the first week, I had completed the main campaign twice; once on normal and once again on True Vault Hunter Mode. The current inability to skip cutscenes means I’m in no rush to play through it again to experience the other three characters (I’ve played FL4K mostly, with a little bit of Zane as a second character). I can play through Mayhem 3 solo with little…

WWE 2K16 Review

Eric W.1 Comment

My confidence is now restored in this series and I'm excited for the direction it's headed in. In a number of ways these games are better than the real life product because we as fans can make the product the way we want it

THE MONKEY2 Comments

One of the biggest complaints of last year was the overall lack of realism and difficulty by the A.I. There was an obsession by the A.I. to want to take you outside and put you through the announce table no mater what, sometimes the obsession with being outside would be so bad that you could actually win by count out. The A.I. also had a strong obsession with wanting to drive you through the barricade in every match. Then there was the whole 2 count debacle that caused the A.I. to kick out of…

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…

XCOM: Enemy Unknown Review

Gary Smith5 Comments

I never experienced the original 1994 turn based strategy game XCOM: UFO Defense (also known as UFO: Enemy Unknown) because I didn’t have a PC in 1994 and by the time I finally did get one in 1998 or so the game certainly wasn’t on my radar. So I’ve come into XCOM: Enemy Unknown like a lot of gamers will: having no nostalgia for the original and no clear understanding of game’s tactics and how to best play. I’d seen the trailers and the lengthy gameplay demos that 2K Games had posted, so I knew…

NBA 2K13 Review

Gary Smith6 Comments

I feel it only fair to preface this review with the statement that I am not a basketball fan. I’ve seen games before, but it isn’t something I typically watch or follow at all. I like playing the game (not with so many rules though), and don’t mind basketball video games. On that note though, I haven’t played the previous versions of the NBA 2K series, so I can’t speak as to what’s changed and how it’s improved (or what’s gotten worse). In fact, the last NBA sim that I owned and played a ton…

Borderlands 2 Review

Gary Smith4 Comments

Good news minions, if you enjoyed Borderlands then you will absolutely love Borderlands 2. The sequel to the surprise (to me) hit doesn’t change with the formula that made the first so successful. It’s more of the same, and that’s not bad thing as Borderlands 2 is bigger and better than the original. It’s everything you’d hope a sequel to be. There is a ton to do in Borderlands 2; the main story is lengthy and it is supplemented by a lot of side quests that will keep you busy for some time. Yes…

Borderlands 2 (PC) Review

Eric W.8 Comments

For the Borderlands fan in a hurry: Yes, it's everything you hoped it would be and then some. Everything you loved about part 1 taken to the next level. Buy it immediately. Thanks for reading! There. That would be enough for me personally and I knew this was going to be the case in the months leading up to release but I had to come up for air and share the good news. Now for anyone else who wants to take a few more moments on this subject before determining a purchase let's set up the basic…

Spec Ops: The Line Review

Gary Smith5 Comments

Hello all and welcome back, yet again, to another edition of The Backlog. Today we shall be venturing into the latest entry into the Spec Ops series, Spec Ops: The Line. Unlike the last time we got together to go over Inversion, I really enjoyed this game. Inversion had a cooler concept with their gravity control, as opposed to the occasional opportunity in Spec Ops to bury your enemies in sand, but Spec Ops felt much smoother while playing. The graphics also looked a bit more crisp for Spec…

Bioshock Review

Gary Smith3 Comments

Hello and welcome back for another edition of The Backlog.  Tonight we’ll be taking a look at the first Bioshock.  So without any further adieu… Our story begins as Jack aboard a plane flying over the Atlantic Ocean.  The plane suddenly begins a rapid descent and crashes into the water(and right in the middle of a good cigar, damnit).  Naturally, you are the only survivor and must swim to the nearby lighthouse.  Inside the lighthouse, we ride a bathysphere down to the underwater city of Rapture…

Mafia II Review

Gary Smith3 Comments

Mafia II has a great story and impressive attention to detail, but a hollow open world, weak melee, and PS3 freezing issues keep it from being more. Three out of five.
