It’s been just about a year since the classic R.B.I. Baseball franchise was resurrected by MLB Advanced Media. I gave last year’s title two and a half stars, which is decent/average on our scale. My main complaints with the game from a year ago were the lack of stat tracking and the camera when fielding. In my conclusion from that review I stated, “Hopefully the … Continue reading R.B.I. Baseball ’15 Review
I’ve had Dying Light since release when I received a digital code to review the game. That was a few weeks ago. I am progressing extremely slowly, but at this point I’ve seen enough of the game to write the review. However it comes with the caveat that I will not be assigning a score to the game, for two reasons: I haven’t completed the … Continue reading Not An Official Review: Dying Light
I deliberately held off on doing this review because very few if any outlets have bothered to give this game a fair shake post patches. The bulk of what you see out there is either 1.0 or 1.1 when the game was in a far worse state. As of the date I write this: January 1, 2015, the game is vastly improved and evolved from … Continue reading Assassin’s Creed Unity Review
Rockstar wowed the majority of us a year ago when they released Grand Theft Auto V on PS3 and Xbox 360. Even on old hardware, it was an excellent looking game that still looks better than some games released on the new systems. Now that Rockstar has released the game for PS4 and Xbox One, it looks even better. For starters, there’s increased detail for … Continue reading Grand Theft Auto V (PS4) Review
The first game in the Call of Duty series released all the way back in October 2003 for PC, and while regarded as a great game I don’t think anyone would have expected it to immediately become an annual franchise that would thrive for over a decade. But that’s exactly what happened. My first experience with the franchise was Finest Hour on Xbox, and I … Continue reading Call of Duty – Advanced Warfare Review
When Alien: Isolation was first announced the reaction of the gaming community was muted with cautious optimism at best coming off of a needless disaster like Colonial Marines that really should have been a fantastic game but unforgivably wasn’t. As more footage and information leaked out the sense of optimism grew in spite of itself including from yours truly. The logic was: It can’t be … Continue reading Alien Isolation Review
Today we shall look at a fun, but slightly flawed game, Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor. Middle-Earth is an action adventure RPG romp into the universe of the Lord of the Rings. With that established and without further adieu, let’s get this show on the road. I believe that I have stated on numerous occasions that am not the most picky when it comes to graphics. There … Continue reading Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor Review
It’s been three weeks since Destiny released, and after over 85 hours of gameplay, I’m finally ready to deliver my verdict on the game as it stands now. This review is based on a purchased digital copy for PS4 with over 85 hours logged in my main character (I also have two other low level characters going). As of this writing, I’m level 28 with … Continue reading Destiny Review
Since there have been gaming consoles, there have been golf games for those consoles. While I don’t ever watch golf on TV, I do enjoy playing it (for real on occasions, though it’s been a while since I’ve done it) and on consoles. We’re nearing the one year anniversary of the release of PS4 and Xbox One, and thanks to HB Studios we finally have … Continue reading The Golf Club Review
I played and reviewed last year’s Madden NFL 25 on PS3 when it released. That game later came to PS4 and Xbox One, but as I didn’t get a PS4 until May, I didn’t experience last year’s Madden game on the current gen systems. So the first thing I noticed when getting into a game on Madden NFL 15 was just how much better it … Continue reading Madden NFL 15 Review
Surgeon Simulator received a lot of buzz when it initially released on PC, not because it was an authentic surgeon simulation game, but because of how absurd it is. After watching videos, I was intrigued and tried out the game. I saw the humor in it, but wasn’t a fan because the controls were horrible (by design to a degree) for me. When I heard … Continue reading Surgeon Simulator: Anniversary Edition Review
The Last of Us was an undeniable hit when it landed a year ago on PS3, both with PS3 owners and critics. The game received perfect scores galore (including from me) and over 200 Game of the Year awards (again, including mine). For me, it was one of the swan songs for the PS3. It was no surprise then earlier this year when The Last … Continue reading The Last of Us Remastered Review
Rogue Legacy was a critical hit when it released on PC a little over a year ago, and today Cellar Door Games have brought their hit title to PS4, PS3, and PS Vita with cross-buy and cross-save. Rogue Legacy is now available on the PlayStation Store for $16.99, and that’s a great price since you’re getting it for three systems and because the game is … Continue reading Rogue Legacy Review
Facepalm Games released The Swapper to near unanimous praise over a year ago for PC, and thanks to Curve Studios the mind bending puzzler is primed to land on PlayStation’s 4, 3, and Vita on August 5th. You begin your journey in The Swapper emerging from an escape pod and boarding the doomed Space Station Theseus. Within minutes, you’ll acquire the first of two abilities … Continue reading The Swapper Review
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. … Continue reading Crimsonland Review
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 only need to get one mouse to the cheese. Continue reading MouseCraft Review
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. Continue reading Sniper Elite 3 Review
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 … Continue reading Murdered Soul Suspect Review
Let me preface this review by saying that not only am I a huge MMA fan in general but a pretty diehard fan of MMA games in general. So much so that I actually downloaded the EA Sports UFC demo on both XBOX One and PS4. XBOX One because it was available hours before it’s PS4 counterpart and I simply didn’t want to wait and … Continue reading EA Sports UFC Review
There was a time when a console would have many baseball games released in the same year resulting in a vast library of baseball games. Gamers who were baseball fans had no shortage of games to play. These days, Sony’s MLB: The Show is the only game in town following the demise of the multiplatform series from 2K Sports. So unless you were a PlayStation … Continue reading RBI Baseball ’14 Review
