Mario Kart 8 Review

Gary Smith1 Comment

Mario Kart 8 is a fantastic looking game. It is probably the most crisp, sharpest looking game I've ever seen on any Nintendo console. Each track and their background scenery is all very vivid and almost lifelike, in a cartoonish Mario kind of way. LEGO City and Mario 3D both looked great, but Mario Kart 8 took it up a notch in my opinion. The audio is what it is. It's a game under the Mario franchise, so all you really get are some sound effects and the game play music that varies slightly from…

Wolfenstein: The New Order Review

Eric W.

I am always happy to welcome a new Wolfenstein game.  The previous Wolfenstein game from 2009 was slagged on certain quarters.  I would contend it was a bit underrated and overlooked. I want to state upfront that this is game that merits a strong Mature rating most notably for some grim sequences and at least one very notable torture sequence that in my opinion was excessive and over the top.   You always have the choice to skip cutscenes so it's not worth a federal case but I figured I would…

Watch_Dogs Review

Eric W.2 Comments

Ever since E3 2012, Watch Dogs has been one of the most hyped and anticipated titles on any system and for good reason. The now near legendary and certainly controversial video that Ubisoft showed at the E3 was a jaw dropping, gorgeous looking game that teased a slick cyberhack Grand Theft Auto variant with everything “cranked to 11.” To be fair, nothing was going to live up to the hype and imagination gamers used as they waited for the release and any tidbit of news or more footage was eagerly…

Monopoly WWE Edition Review

Gary Smith1 Comment

Monopoly has been a board game staple since the 1930s, and now thanks to USAopoly wrestling fans can enjoy the classic property trading game with a WWE theme. I'm sure at this point that WWE is none to pleased that the new game has CM Punk prominently featured on the box cover as well as being a big part of the actual board's design, but that's what happens when products are designed, printed, and getting ready for market when a superstar abruptly walks out on the company.

If you're a wrestling fan odds are you have both of the beautiful DK released WWE Encyclopedia's. After all, they're amazing books and an invaluable research tool for anyone who cares about the history of World Wrestling Entertainment.

The second of the two major Next-Gen exclusives arriving this month has arrived in the form of Infamous: Second Son.  This time it is Sony's turn to showcase what they have in store for its dedicated fan base.  In Second Son you take control of Delsin Rowe who finds himself the recipient of a set of Conduit powers after a transport carrying three alleged "Bio-Terrorists" crashes in front of him.  The gamer controls Delsin as he struggles to gain control of his new found powers and sets out to…

Atelier Escha & Logy – Alchemists of the Dusk Sky Review

Gary Smith1 Comment

If you're a fan of RPG's then March has been a fantastic month for you, especially if you're a PS3 owner. We started the month with the release of the excellent South Park: The Stick of Truth, and on March 11th both Dark Souls II and Atelier Escha & Logy: Alchemists of the Dusk Sky released. For me, the latest Atelier game came at just the right time as the South Park game had gotten me in the mood for some classic turn based JRPG battles and I'm not really the biggest fan of turn based…

South Park – The Stick of Truth Review

Gary Smith1 Comment

South Park: The Stick of Truth had a tumultuous development cycle that saw its original publisher (THQ) go out of business and multiple delays to the point that many people assumed the game would eventually be canceled. Thankfully, the game wasn't canceled and finally released earlier this month. Its release shows that Ubisoft was wise to acquire the title in the THQ auction, that a great South Park game could be made, and that Obsidian could nail their goal of making the game look like an…

Titanfall Review

THE MONKEY

The time has finally arrived, the first big Next Gen exclusive has launched.  While Titanfall certainly had a whirlwind of hype pushing it forward the real question would be whether or not it was worth your time.  Some seemed unsure of the lack of a single player campaign in which the game launched with.  It should come as no surprise though that the guys who really helped breath life into the First Person Shooter for the mainstream would put the focus primarily into an online multiplayer…

Night of the Hunter Review

William McPherson

It isn’t easy being a widow. Willa Harper (Shelley Winters) finds that out the hard way when her good intentioned husband Ben (Peter Graves) finds himself hanging from the gallows after robbing a local bank. The movie is set during the depression, and bank robbing at the time was about the noblest form of outlawry to be found, especially to many down and out sodbusters who blamed greedy bankers for sucking up their entire life savings while they had to sit and watch their families nearly starve…

Outlast Review

THE MONKEY1 Comment

Horror influenced video games walk a very fine line within the video game industry.  There are in an essence one of two ways that things can play out.  You can attempt to be scary which in itself is tricky do for the sole fact of creating an outright scary atmosphere within the realm of a video game is no easy task.  The other is having horror elements while abandoning scare factor all together in favor of a more violent and over the top experience. While games that  aim for the latter certainly…

Out of the Furnace Review

William McPherson2 Comments

Russell Baze (Christian Bale) and his younger brother Rodney (a multiple tour Iraq war vet played by Casey Affleck) have spent their entire lives in the northeast rust belt in one of those towns kept alive by the local steel mill and a lot of hard earned calloused hands.  Russell is seemingly content with this, as he works in the same mill that his father (who is dying of cancer) did and makes due with what he has, and keeps going in spite of some personal hardships such as a freak car accident…

stle is the best movie to come out of 2013, but it is for damned sure the most fun one to have made it to the big screen. Wow, what a fun ride that was. I am going to spend the next few hundred words or so just completely gushing about this movie with no pretense of objectivity or any other journalistic credos so read on at your own risk if you will.  I always get a little nervous going into a movie that has received so much critical acclaim, as sometimes such acclaim only serves to raise the…

While I owned both a PS3 and a XBOX 360 last generation I definitely considered myself more of a fan of the 360 overall.  Going into this generation I honestly wasn't so sure how I felt about what Microsoft was offering up as it's new entry into the console world.  Truth be told my initial reaction was if I was only getting one console at launch that it was going to be the PS4.  As time went on some circumstances worked in my favor and I was able to purchase a XBOX One at launch.  The big…

Battlefield 4 Review

Eric W.3 Comments

EA DICE returns after two years following the release of the very successful Battlefield 3 with this inevitable sequel. I am happy to report that this game is not a quickie BF3 retread with a slicker coat of varnish on it.  They did listen to the fans feedback over the course of the last two years, as the return of Commander Mode easily indicates along with larger levels and more expansiveness in general. The game is not a revolution by any means, but it certainly is a clear evolution across the…

Here we are already a week after Sony has released it's fourth entry into the home console world.  Coming into the launch the console seemed to be poised to make a big splash, and had quite a bit of momentum behind it.  It was clear that Sony had taken note of the misfires that may have led it's PS3 to a slower start than desired and wanted to not only build on the great success the PS3 had achieved in recent years; but also prove themselves to the undisputed king of entertainment.  The sales…

Resogun Review

THE MONKEY3 Comments

I honestly didn't know what to expect going into Resogun. I knew going in that it would be a free to play launch title available to Playstation Plus members, so I really didn't do much in terms of pre-launch research. My way of thinking is almost any free game is worth at least playing so I really didn't need much in the way of an incentive to download it. Worst case scenario I figured I'd be out a little bit of time and would just delete it from the hard drive.  So was Resogun time well spent…

Long before the bright lights and pyrotechnics of today’s modern wrestling extravaganza there was already a thriving wrestling scene in America, several of them in fact, located in territories strewn across the United States, most of which falling under the dictum of the National Wrestling Alliance. One such territory existed in Memphis, Tennessee the birthplace of the blues, and of Rock N’ Roll. And at the same time that Sam Phillips promoted his new Rock N’ Roll stars like Elvis Presley and…

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…

Plants vs. Zombies 2 – It’s About Time! Review

Gary Smith

The original Plants vs. Zombies was a surprise hit when it first hit PC and Mac way back in 2009. If you were to just glance at the game, you would have seen something that looked very simple and probably wouldn't be that much fun. Turns out, it was super fun and became super popular for developer/publisher PopCap Games. It was so successful and popular that it ended up getting ported to seemingly every platform available. It hit iOS and then Xbox 360 in 2010. In 2011, the game was ported over…
