I play A LOT of Destiny and I watch A LOT of Destiny being played. One thing you’ll quickly notice with most of the good streamers is that they use Scuf controllers, and thus have a slight advantage because paddles allow you to do things like jump while aiming. For those of us who can’t claw, paddles just make things easier. Unfortunately, the elite and … Continue reading Collective Minds StrikePack FPS Dominator Review
Finnish based developers 10tons Ltd. are back again with their latest game on console, Spellspire. Like practically every 10tons game, Spellspire offers up fun when you just have a little bit of time to game and can’t really get into a 45 minute mission in a “bigger game.” That’s one thing I love about games made by 10tons, you can spend a lot of time … Continue reading Spellspire Review

In it, you play a spirit that possesses a wild fox and set off on an adventure through a forest. You have the power to manipulate the four seasons, changing them on the fly to complete puzzles. If nothing … Continue reading Seasons After Fall Review
CI Games released their first Sniper Ghost Warrior game back in 2010 and followed it up with a sequel in 2013. I didn’t play the first one, but I did the second one. It wasn’t particularly good. Now some four years later, and after a few delays, CI Games has released the third entry into the Sniper Ghost Warrior franchise and the good news is … Continue reading Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 Review
Valhalla Hills is strategy/city-building game developed by Funatics that first released on Steam Early Access back in August 2015. On April 25, 2017 the game came to PS4 and Xbox One in the form of Valhalla Hills: Definitive Edition, which includes the based game and the two DLC packs (Sand of the Damned and Fire Mountains) plus an exclusive map type called The Dwarf Cave. In … Continue reading Valhalla Hills: Definitive Edition Review
I’ve reviewed each of the R.B.I. games since MLB brought the series back in 2014. At this point, I’m not sure a review is necessary anymore. I feel like I should just copy and paste what I wrote last year, because it’s the same game with an updated roster. There’s no new modes and no new ways to play. I also can’t tell where any … Continue reading R.B.I. Baseball ’17 Review
Vikings: Wolves of Midgard is an action-RPG developed by Games Farm, a studio from Slovak Republic best known for the Air Conflict series as well as the ARPG Shadows: Heretic Kingdoms. Vikings has drawn a lot of early comparisons to Diablo, and for good reason. Of course Diablo isn’t the only game in this particular genre, but it is the biggest name on the block. … Continue reading Vikings – Wolves of Midgard Review
Stardew Valley hits all the right notes and checks all the right boxes as a feature rich farming based RPG. If it can be done better, I’d certainly like to see it, but no one person could make a better game for this genre than Eric Barone has done. I’d say it’s the peak, the Harvest Moon game many of us always wanted. Continue reading Stardew Valley Review
Yakuza 0 is a niche game designed for a Japanese audience first, it’s extremely story heavy, and it does have some outdated design mechanics/elements and even graphics (it kinda feels like a remastered PS2 game). If you can get into it though, you’re likely to find a very engrossing experience with a lot to offer. If you’re like me though, you’re probably going to have a hard time getting into it as a newcomer to the series. Continue reading Yakuza 0 Review
Neverwinter is a free-to-play MMORPG that released on PS4 over a month ago, but has been available on PC for three years and Xbox One for a over a year. This review is based on the PS4 version, and it’s completely free in that you don’t even need PlayStation Plus to play the game. Since its release, I’ve put A LOT of time into the … Continue reading Neverwinter Review
It’s kinda hard to review R.B.I. Baseball ’16, the third entry in the series resurrected by MLB Advanced Media back in 2014. And the reason it’s hard is because I’ve already reviewed it, last year. In fact, I’ve reviewed both 2014 and 2015. The 2014 version was a solid foundation of old school video game baseball. The 2015 version made some significant upgrades to add to … Continue reading R.B.I. Baseball ’16 Review
SideQuest Studios’ wonderful RPG Rainbow Moon released on PS4 a couple of weeks ago. I originally reviewed this game back in 2012 when it released for PS3. As such, I’m reposting that review for the PS4 version. This is release is just Rainbow Moon on PS4. There’s not much different, it’s the same game. Having said that, it was the perfect time to re-release the … Continue reading Rainbow Moon (PS4) Review
The Tomb Raider reboot of 2013 was my dark horse game of the year, as it was for many other people. It was impressive and it struck a nice balance on gameplay and challenges that drew in many new fans to the series, including myself. I had always respected this series and I had tried out several of the earlier games, but the twitch gameplay … Continue reading Review: Rise of The Tomb Raider
It’s all about getting lost and getting crazy in an open world sandbox and being encouraged and rewarded to do it as insanely as you possibly can. How can you not like that? Continue reading Just Cause 3 Review
It’s been a long time in coming… too long… but at last a new Fallout game is upon us and it’s very good. The good news is: A review like this is a mere formality since many of us have already broken the 100 hour figure on this. What more need be said, right? Continue reading Fallout 4 Review
Back when it came out I and many other people considered Black Flag a watershed for the series and rightfully. Simply put: This is the next watershed and if they can continue to crank out games like this at this level of quality the I hope they making these games for as long as they sell because I’ll never get tired of something like this. I’ll welcome a game like this every year with wide open arms. Continue reading Assassin’s Creed Syndicate Review
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 Continue reading WWE 2K16 Review
A little over a year ago I posted my review of vanilla Destiny, which I gave a superb 4.5 star rating. That review encompassed the game from launch to three weeks after launch with a little over 85 hours invested in it and having done everything but the raid. Now here we are a month and a half removed from the release of Destiny’s first major expansion, The Taken King, and it is time to review it all over again. Continue reading Destiny – The Taken King Review
What do you get when you cross the best elements out of a Grand Theft Auto game, the Metal Gear series, stealth games like Splinter Cell, and for grins an almost MMO lite online mode for a bonus? You get Metal Gear V: The Phantom Pain which is easily in contention for Game of the Year even up against stiff competition like Witcher 3. GRAPHICS: … Continue reading Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain Review
This gaming series has been a frustration for me. Frustrating because I have played and tried each game in this series and did my darnedest to fall in love with the games and just couldn’t because some of the gameplay and combat mechanics were not to my liking. I just couldn’t get on board and get excited. Until now. The third time really is the … Continue reading The Witcher III – Wild Hunt Review
