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…

Crysis 3 Review

Eric W.6 Comments

“The hunted becomes the hunter in the CryEngine-powered open-world shooter Crysis 3. Players take on the role of 'Prophet' as he returns to New York in the year in 2047, only to discover that the city has been encased in a Nanodome created by the corrupt Cell Corporation. The New York City Liberty Dome is a veritable urban rainforest teeming with overgrown trees, dense swamplands and raging rivers. Within the Liberty Dome, seven distinct and treacherous environments become known as the Seven…

Crysis Review

Gary Smith

Today we will be looking at the PC version of Crysis. I'm not much of a PC gamer, and as my luck would have it, right after I started this, I found out they were releasing a console version. Nevertheless, I got my PC gaming on and beat this offering from EA and Crytek. So without further adieu, let's get to it. For a 2007 game, this game has fantastic graphics. Even by the standards of some more recent offerings from the last couple of years on either PS3 or Xbox 360, the graphics for Crysis are…

Medal of Honor: Warfighter Review

Gary Smith

Today we will be taking a look at Medal of Honor: Warfighter, the follow-up to the 2010 title Medal of Honor and the continuation of the modern day reboot of the series. While I am a fan of shooters, I, to this point, have not had a chance to play any of the reboot Medal of Honor. Obviously I did spend some time with Warfighter over the past week, otherwise why would I be writing about it, right? Have to say it was a pretty solid experience. How solid, well let's get to it and find out. Quick…

Dishonored Review

Gary Smith

Today we will be looking into the latest offering from Bethesda and Arkane Studios, Dishonored. Dishonored is a first person, action-adventure game that can be played in a stealth fashion, a straight forward attacking style, or a combination there of. For the purposes of my play through for the review, I employed the combo of the stealth and attacking style. I wanted to try the full stealth play through, but apparently I'm not patient enough for that, so that is the combination is what I went…

007 Legends Review

Gary Smith4 Comments

007 Legends begins with James Bond being accidentally shot by a female sniper and falling into water and having memories of his previous missions flash before his eyes. It’s these five missions that we play during the game: Goldfinger, On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, Licence To Kill, Moonraker, and Die Another Day. That’s it. These five missions each have two to three levels associated with them, but it is going to take more than four to five hours to “beat” the game using the Modern setting…

Dishonored (PC) Review

Eric W.5 Comments

Arkane Studios consists of veterans from the Deus Ex series, Half life series, Thief games and has been 3 years in the making and I'm happy to report the wait was well worth it. It would have been huge shock and arguably one of the biggest letdowns in gaming in years had it not been given the pedigree of the talent that created this game. I’m a huge fan of these kinds of games and I'm thrilled to see them returning. Last year we had the stellar Deus Ex Human Revolution which I reviewed highly…

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…

F.E.A.R. Review

Gary Smith2 Comments

“Make them REMEMBER WHAT FEAR TASTES LIKE.” - Freddy vs. Jason Hello all and welcome back to The Backlog. It's been a while, but my shitty internet is working...well, barely, but it's scraping me by for the time being. With that in mind, let's back to business. F.E.A.R. starts out as a first person shooter, featuring you as “Point Man” of an elite, secret military group that specializes in dealing with situations that are, how might we say, beyond traditional realms of reality. Your team has…

Deus Ex: Human Revolution Review

Eric W.5 Comments

I'm reviewing the PC version of this game but make no mistake: You get a high quality experience on whichever platform you can get this one and you should as soon as possible. Upfront I will say that you should prepare to play the best game you've played this year thus far at least. If you have the hardware, the PC opens the door up for some potential DiretX11 eye candy, a little higher resolution in some spots, and keyboard and mouse play which is far and away my preference for any first person…

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…

Portal 2 Review

Gary Smith2 Comments

Reviewer's Note: I am reviewing the Playstation 3 version of the game, which I got after the attack on the Playstation Network. As such, I have been unable to link the game to my Steam account or connect to PSN to play the online co-op. Therefore, this review does not factor any of the Steam features or the online play. This review is purely based on the single player campaign.  Once PSN service is restored and I spend enough time testing the online features, I may revise and update the review…
