Unrest

Unrest Review

Gary Smith

Unrest is an RPG that is vastly different than anything I would usually play. There's no real combat in the game and there are no puzzles to solve. There's no leveling up or experience gained. There's not even one main character to play as. Unrest is set in ancient India during a time of riots and general unrest (hence the name). You'll play as several different characters throughout the game, each broken up into their own chapter(s). You'll move your character through the beautiful hand drawn…

Crimsonland Review

Gary Smith2 Comments

If you own a PlayStation system and are a fan of retro style top down shooters then you're in luck; 10tons have brought their super gory title Crimsonland to PS4/PS3/PS Vita, with cross-buy. The quest mode of Crimsonland takes place through six chapters, each with 10 missions. You're an unnamed space soldier fighting against an onslaught of enemies for no discernible reason other than survival. You aren't getting cut-scenes and a story here; this game is all about the gameplay. On that note…

MouseCraft Review

Gary Smith3 Comments

There may be a drought of big release titles on the new gaming consoles, but one thing PS4 isn't lacking is quality indie titles. A couple of these digital games release every month, and July started off hot with the release of MouseCraft from Curve Studios. MouseCraft is a “simple” puzzle game in the vein of something like Lemmings only much more enjoyable in this day and age. You're tasked with helping three mice get past a series of obstacles to get to the cheese. To complete the level, you…

Sniper Elite 3 Review

Eric W.3 Comments

This series is a welcome breath of fresh air against run and gun shooting and you can see from my previous reviews that I'm overall enthusiastic about this series despite some quibbles and annoyances which, unfortunately, remain for this new game. Being a sequel this means I have to be a little less forgiving this time around since there weren't enough fundamental improvements that needed to happen.

Murdered Soul Suspect Review

Gary Smith1 Comment

Murdered Soul Suspect starts off with a bang, or more accurately, a crash. Detective Ronan O'Connor is thrown out of an upstairs(4th floor I believe) window of an apartment building in Salem, Massachusetts. O'Connor was pursuing the a vicious serial killer known only as The Bell Killer. The multi-story fall didn't kill O'Connor, as The Bell Killer makes his way downstairs and finishes the detective off with several shots from his own gun. As he's about to pass over, O'Connor is greeted by his…

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…

Bound By Flame Review

Gary Smith

Bound By Flame, the cross-generational RPG from French developing studio Spiders, gets the spotlight for being the first fantasy/action-RPG on PS4. Yes, it's on PC, PS3, and Xbox 360, but those systems have plenty of action RPG's (including Spiders own previous outings like Of Orcs and Men, and Mars: War Logs). For PS4 owners with that action itch, this is the only game in town at the moment. Luckily, it's a very good game. To set the stage, I generally play games on either hard (familiar IP's…

Thief Review

Eric W.2 Comments

This is a series that has been on hiatus for too long. Like many other long fans who have held their breath since the mixed bag but IMHO overly hated Dark Shadows, the news of a new Thief game was at first met with jubilation and then as media and details came forth a sense of caution and concerns on certain details. Some of these concerns were well warranted as we have ourselves another mixed bag of a Thief game. I think there's some hate out there that is extremely overblown. I have seen some…

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…

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…

Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag Review

Eric W.2 Comments

I am a huge fan of the Assassin's Creed games so admittedly I approach these games with a healthy benefit of the doubt and positive bias in place. I hope I'm not an outright fanboy and I don't think I am since I can harp on some quibbles and nitpicks I had from previous games, whether it be the KBM controls on the first one or the utterly ghastly first person platforming that was in Revelations. In complete defiance of the normal trend of sequelitis, this series continues to expand and improve…

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…

Sniper Elite – Nazi Zombie Army 1 and 2 Review

Eric W.2 Comments

If you look over my review of the original game these spins offs came from you can see that I thought very highly of it and even declared it my dark horse game of the year. Since that time the game has found itself the beneficiary of robust support for patches, additional features, and now two quality standalone DLCs. The support has been downright astonishing and has set an example to the rest of the gaming world as far as I'm concerned. Much of what I wrote applies to the Zombie Army spinoffs…

Syder Arcade Review

Eric W.3 Comments

As someone who has been videogaming for thirty years or so I cut my teeth on all kinds of games including a healthy batch of what we affectionately refer to as “schmups” which is short hand for “shoot 'em ups.” A shoot 'em up is typically you in a spaceship or some other flying vehicle against hordes of enemies in crazy situations. It's amazing I didn't suffer an embolism or have a pile of broken game controllers playing a lot of those games. I never was a schmup champion by a mile but let's…

Splinter Cell: Blacklist Review

Eric W.1 Comment

Splinter Cell has finally “come back.” That's my short teaser for the theme of this review and many others reviews out there for that matter. This game brings the best aspects of Splinter Cell Conviction and previous pre Double Agent Splinter Cell games and merges those aspects together in a new and extremely satisfying whole. What Blacklist does it does very well. It feels like Splinter Cell taken to the next level in a lot of ways and I'm pleased enough with it that it will very likely be…

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…

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…

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…

BioShock Infinite (PC) Review

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…
