Hello all and welcome back to another installment of The Backlog. You know, when I first started these, I was looking at some blasts, or in some cases some flops, from the past. Here lately, I’ve been showcasing the type of games that have caused my wall of shame to grow unchecked for several years. Enough of the bullshitting, time to get down to … Continue reading Sleeping Dogs Review
At first glance, you may think Brotherhood is nothing more than an expansion pack to Assassin’s Creed II, and actually that doesn’t feel far off. The game does carry that vibe. Brotherhood picks up exactly where Assassin’s Creed II left off, for both Desmond and Ezio, making this a direct sequel where you really need to play the second game before firing this one up. … Continue reading Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood Review
Hello all and welcome to another edition of The Backlog. For the first time since we talked about Mass Effect what feels like ages ago, we will be venturing into the RPG world and discussing Game of Thrones. For those unfamiliar with Game of Thrones, here is a quick summary: A Game of Thrones is the first book in George R. R. Martin’s successful series … Continue reading Game of Thrones Review
The end of Sucker Punch’s 2009 smash hit InFamous let everyone know that a sequel was coming because when the first one was over, you knew that everything you as Cole had just went through was in preparation for a much larger battle to come: a battle against the Beast. You don’t have to wait long to battle the Beast either, as you’ll fight him … Continue reading InFamous 2 Review
Undead Nightmare really is something special. Priced at $10, or 800 Microsoft Points, on PSN and Xbox LIVE, it’s the kind of DLC that even the most anti-DLC person can get behind. It features additional multiplayer modes, but even more importantly a stand-alone single player campaign that will last you roughly six to eight hours depending on your play style. It’s so well done and … Continue reading Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare Review
This review may contain spoilers. This is going to be a hard review to write, especially with trying not to include spoilers (the warning is there for a reason though). If you read my quick thoughts on the game after spending a few hours with it Tuesday, then you know what I initially thought of the game. I loved it; it was fresh and different, … Continue reading L.A. Noire Review
I’m not a comic book fan and don’t particularly care for superhero stuff at all. Despite hearing great things about InFamous, it never really appealed to me as something I’d want to buy. When I finally got a Playstation 3, it came bundled with two games: Killzone 2 and InFamous. In addition to those two games, I also got plenty of other PS3 games at … Continue reading InFamous Review
The Saboteur is a World War 2 game, yet one that isn’t boring and worn out. Instead of being a first person shooter reliving the same battles again and again, Saboteur is a third person shooter taking place in Nazi occupied Paris, France. Instead of being a member of one of the Allied military’s, you play as a mechanic turned race car driver named Sean … Continue reading The Saboteur Review
Mafia 2 is a linear story-based third person shooter that just happens to have a pretty big city as a backdrop. Those looking for a grand sandbox experience, or thriving open world, won’t find it here. The city of Empire Bay is open for exploration, and you’ll certainly spend a decent amount of time driving around the city. The problem with the open-world of Mafia … Continue reading Mafia II Review
If a film buff asked me to describe The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly in one word, that word would be “Epic.” And if you want one word from me that describes Red Dead Redemption, well then it would also be “Epic.” Everything about Red Dead Redemption is as close to perfect as one can get. The story, the gameplay, the open-world, the multiplayer, … Continue reading Red Dead Redemption Review
