The Last of Us Remastered Review

Gary Smith4 Comments

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 of Us Remastered was announced for PS4. After all, the system has been selling very well, and a lot of PS4 owners never owned a PS3. With the updated and more powerful…

Rogue Legacy Review

Gary Smith1 Comment

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 superb. I became a fan of the “roguelike,” or in this case “roguelite,” genre last year (I know, way late to the genre party) when Spelunky came to…

The Swapper Review

Gary Smith2 Comments

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 that you'll need to complete the game; a device that allows you to make up to four clones of yourself. Soon after that, you'll…

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…

THE MONKEY1 Comment

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 PS4 because for this particular game that was my console of choice.  I logged more hours into THQ's Undisputed Series and EA Sports MMA on my 360 than any other individual…

RBI Baseball ’14 Review

Gary Smith

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 (4, 3, or Vita) owner, you've been being deprived of baseball gaming. That's where MLB.com stepped in. MLB's Advanced Media wing caught a lot of…

Blue Estate The Game

Blue Estate Review

Gary Smith

If you don't know what Blue Estate is (and I didn't), it's a comic book by Viktor Kalvachev. This is a digital only game, based on the comic, by developers HeSaw (from what I can gather, the first game from the Paris based developing studio). It's unlike anything currently available on PS4. That's a good thing for this game, because it has a certain market all to its self. That market is the on-rails shooter market. Popular in arcades, the on-rails “light gun” shooter genre saw a bit of a…

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…

Sparkle 2 Review

Gary Smith

Match three games have been popular for over a decade now thanks to their addictive simplicity and ultimately their challenge. These types of games come in a few different flavors; some require you to switch adjacent pieces to match three of a color or type (like the Saga series) and others require you to launch a colored object at moving objects to match three or more of a color (like Zuma). Sparkle 2 is in that Zuma category. Sparkle 2 originally released almost a year ago for iOS and Android…

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…

The second of the two major Next-Gen exclusives arriving this month has arrived in the form of Infamous: Second Son.  This time it is Sony's turn to showcase what they have in store for its dedicated fan base.  In Second Son you take control of Delsin Rowe who finds himself the recipient of a set of Conduit powers after a transport carrying three alleged "Bio-Terrorists" crashes in front of him.  The gamer controls Delsin as he struggles to gain control of his new found powers and sets out to…

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…

Outlast Review

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

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…

Here we are already a week after Sony has released it's fourth entry into the home console world.  Coming into the launch the console seemed to be poised to make a big splash, and had quite a bit of momentum behind it.  It was clear that Sony had taken note of the misfires that may have led it's PS3 to a slower start than desired and wanted to not only build on the great success the PS3 had achieved in recent years; but also prove themselves to the undisputed king of entertainment.  The sales…
