Injustice: Gods Among Us Review – Aquaman’s Back, Bitches

Ever since the Mortal Kombat reboot came out back in 2011, fans of the popular fighting franchise eagerly anticipated a sequel to the immensely successful blockbuster hit. So when NetherRealm Studios announced their new fighting game wasn’t a continuation to the MK title at all, but a game based soley on the DC comic universe instead, there was a slight hesitation on my part personally. How do you make a fighting game where Superman goes mano-a-mano with Harley Quinn and manage to keep it [...]

[Review] Oozi: Earth Adventure – Everyone’s Out to Get You

Oozi: Earth Adventure is a charming 2D platformer starring an alien that crash-landed on an unfamiliar planet and sets out on a quest to find his gear, his ship, and get the heck out. It’s developed by Awesome Games Studio and currently up for vote on Steam Greenlight. I’d like to note here that Oozi is a complete game and has already been released for Xbox Live, and you could download a free demo on their website to try it [...]

[LTTP Review] Farming Simulator 2013

Farming Simulator 2013 on the outside seems like it’s a boring tractor ride-a-long and it kinda is just that. Yet, as I played it for this review, I quickly found myself 12 hours later in the day still playing without a break. I’ve had the game for weeks now and just haven’t been able to put it down long enough to actually write this review. What crazy magic does Farming Simulator 2013 have in it that makes me push everything [...]

[Review] P.E.S. 2013: An Able Substitute But No Starter

Since EA’s FIFA series has the majority of the licensing agreements with the top clubs in the world, most people tend to gravitate towards that. I have to admire Konami for not using that as an excuse to not put out this game annually to go head-to-head with the EA juggernaut. However, all the admiration in the world can’t help you enjoy the game or want to spend time with it until you change how you look at P.E.S. Hit the [...]

[Featurama] Get Smart: Why It’s Important to Read Reviews After You’ve Played

Cracking open your new copy of Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance, you revel in the smell of the newly manufactured packaging – grinning uncontrollably with anticipation. You put the cartridge in and power through a few levels, stopping only to alert your Facebook friends that it’s melting your brain with awesomeness. Later in the evening, nearly ready to retire to the study in your smoking jacket (you sophisticated devil), you decide to peruse some of the game’s reviews. Oh, fret [...]

[Review] Rainbow Moon

SideQuest Studios made one heck of a solid shooter with Söldner-X, so when they follow up with a tactical Strategy RPG, curiosity gets the better of me. As somebody that has a solid majority of his gaming collection built around the genre, Rainbow Moon’s colorful aesthetic and flashy move sets looked intriguing. Most downloadable games in this genre haven’t fared well, though, and I struggle to think of even one good one that has released on consoles this generation. Hit [...]

[Review] Resonance

Adventure games have had somewhat of a resurgence in recent years. Thanks to studios like Telltale Games as well as distributors like Steam and GOG, old-school gamers have been given the opportunity to revisit some of the classics from years past, and younger ones who missed out the first time around get to see what the hype was all about. Along with the old classics being reissued, developers are taking the basic tools of the genre and using them to [...]

[Review] Ghost Recon: Future Soldier

After several redesigns and reboots, Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Future Soldier is finally here. It’s been a long time coming, but UbiSoft’s vision into the future of warfare has made it onto store shelves. Technology is everything on the field of war and now the warfighters are even more advanced. They’ve advanced into the future.

[Review] Max Payne 3

Nearly nine years have passed since Remedy Entertainment graced the world with Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne and left the series in the hands of its publisher, Rockstar Entertainment. After a worryingly long development cycle and no small amount of fan outcry, Rockstar Vancouver, the team that brought you the excellent Bully, are back with their take on the beloved franchise. What is it with them and bald protagonists, anyway?

[Review] Dragon Age: Dawn of the Seeker

Dragon Age: Dawn of the Seeker is an animated film which follows a slowly-growing trend of fully CG animated additions to gaming franchises (see also: Resident Evil Degeneration, Tekken: Blood Vengeance). Reactions to these works have been mixed-to-positive, with the general consensus falling somewhere along the lines of “it may not be Oscar-worthy, but it beats the hell out of Hollywood’s attempts.” Dragon Age: Dawn of the Seeker is the project which made DA writer Marc Laidlaw’s day upon being [...]
