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…

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…

EA Sports UFC Review

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…

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…

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…

Titanfall Review

THE MONKEY

The time has finally arrived, the first big Next Gen exclusive has launched.  While Titanfall certainly had a whirlwind of hype pushing it forward the real question would be whether or not it was worth your time.  Some seemed unsure of the lack of a single player campaign in which the game launched with.  It should come as no surprise though that the guys who really helped breath life into the First Person Shooter for the mainstream would put the focus primarily into an online multiplayer…

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…

Xbox One Review

THE MONKEY1 Comment

While I owned both a PS3 and a XBOX 360 last generation I definitely considered myself more of a fan of the 360 overall.  Going into this generation I honestly wasn't so sure how I felt about what Microsoft was offering up as it's new entry into the console world.  Truth be told my initial reaction was if I was only getting one console at launch that it was going to be the PS4.  As time went on some circumstances worked in my favor and I was able to purchase a XBOX One at launch.  The big…

Battlefield 4 Review

Eric W.3 Comments

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…

Ryse Son of Rome Review

THE MONKEY1 Comment

It's somewhat of a miracle the Ryse in its current state exists at all when you truly think about it.  What was originally intended to be a Kinect title on the 360, had to be gutted and completely reconfigured to be a live action launch title for the XBOX One.  Truth be told I was pretty skeptical of the title at all prior to seeing some detailed gameplay videos that sold me at the 11th hour.  Still it had a hell of an obstacle to overcome in its development history as well as the fact that the…

WWE 2K14 Review

THE MONKEY2 Comments

One of the biggest complaints of last year was the overall lack of realism and difficulty by the A.I. There was an obsession by the A.I. to want to take you outside and put you through the announce table no mater what, sometimes the obsession with being outside would be so bad that you could actually win by count out. The A.I. also had a strong obsession with wanting to drive you through the barricade in every match. Then there was the whole 2 count debacle that caused the A.I. to kick out of…

The Pinball Arcade Review

  While classic arcades have been slowly dying out in most places, pinball has been experiencing a bit of a resurgence on home consoles. FarSight Studios has brought over The Pinball Arcade to XBLA and PSN (and PS Vita) and it's a game pinball enthusiast have been waiting for. The Pinball Arcade isn't just another pinball game for home consoles (and mobile devices), it's actually four real pinball tables brought to life on the platform of your choice. The tables are Theater Magic (1995…
