This week, I revisited Rayman Legends, a top-tier 2D platformer, after previously enjoying it and Origins. Despite Ubisoft’s struggles, I hope for a new Rayman installment. Additionally, I briefly tried Throne and Liberty but didn’t find it engaging. Diablo IV awaits next.

Gary reviews the latest entry in his favorite franchise, Assassin’s Creed. Mirage is a return to series roots and a love letter to the first games in the series. But how does it hold up compared to the earlier titles and is it worth experiencing? Continue reading Assassin’s Creed Mirage Review
Assassin’s Creed first released in 2007, and two years later saw its first sequel. After that, fans of the franchise got a new entry every year from 2009 to 2015 with the release of Assassin’s Creed Syndicate. With a technically flawed release in 2014 with Unity, many fans began to feel burned out on the series. Thus, 2016 came and went without any major Assassin’s … Continue reading Assassin’s Creed Origins 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
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
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 … Continue reading Watch_Dogs Review
South Park: The Stick of Truth had a tumultuous development cycle that saw its original publisher (THQ) go out of business and multiple delays to the point that many people assumed the game would eventually be canceled. Thankfully, the game wasn’t canceled and finally released earlier this month. Its release shows that Ubisoft was wise to acquire the title in the THQ auction, that a … Continue reading South Park – The Stick of Truth Review
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 … Continue reading Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag 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
It’s a funny thing when a franchise can have three retail games available, the last of which is widely considered to be quite bad, and then have a fourth game be reduced down to a cheap digital only title. Now you may be asking “well what’s funny about that?” and the funny thing is the $15 downloadable title with almost no promotion whatsoever is easily … Continue reading Call of Juarez Gunslinger Review
