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 … Continue reading Sniper Elite – Nazi Zombie Army 1 and 2 Review
This has proven a hard review to even begin. Not because I don’t have anything to say about Grand Theft Auto V, as a matter of fact I could say plenty about the game, but rather because I haven’t wanted to stop playing it. We’ve seen some truly amazing games this year: BioShock Infinite and The Last of Us standing out for most folks (myself … Continue reading Grand Theft Auto V Review
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 … Continue reading Splinter Cell: Blacklist Review
My favorite gaming genre is third person shooter set in an open world. This generation has produced many of these types of games, and a lot of them have been really great. Riding horses and mowing down outlaws in Red Dead Redemption was awesome; skydiving and blowing stuff up in Just Cause 2 was great; visiting historically accurate settings like Rome and colonial America in … Continue reading Saints Row IV Review
I’ve gone back and forth trying to decide how I wanted to handle this review. The Last of Us released this past Friday, and of course, it was a hugely anticipated PS3 exclusive. Reviews from the larger Metacritic outlets went up weeks ago, and so by now people who may have been on the fence before will have seen dozens and dozens of all positive … Continue reading The Last of Us Review
Today we’re going to be taking a look at Remember Me, a third-person action-adventure offering from the folks at Dontnod Entertainment and Capcom. When I first heard about this game, I was intrigued, but I didn’t get my expectations very high. Perhaps that worked to my advantage, but regardless, this was a quality offering and I thoroughly enjoyed my time with this game, and I … Continue reading Remember Me Review
In many years I could sign off on this game as “Game Of The Year” outright. It’s that good. In a year like 2013 is shaping up to be and the fact that this game came out early enough in it, the jury is still out. I can guarantee that by the end of the year this game will be still on many people’s GOTY … Continue reading Tomb Raider Review
The third and final installment in the Dead Space game series, or at least as far as Isaac Clarke’s story arc goes, is upon us and it doesn’t disappoint. I’ll say upfront: If you’re a fan of this series you’ll be very happy with this game and if you never cared about the series there’s nothing here for you. For PC gamers I’m going to … Continue reading Dead Space 3 Review
I’m a long time Hitman fanboy. I view Blood Money as the apex of the series and that hasn’t changed with the advent of this game. Just to get that out of the way. At least once a year I have to fire up at least Blood Money for a jaunt and often times Contracts and Silent Assassin as well. The games are permanent residents … Continue reading Hitman Absolution Review
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
