Review: Bioshock Infinite (360)
Still to this day I go back to the first Bioshock to have some fun and at times Bioshock 2 for some multiplayer. I mean there was nothing like being up late at night playing either game in the dark as you progressed throughout Rapture. Now let’s venture forth to the skies in the year 1912 where you’ll find the land of Columbia. Where would you find this area? In the newly released game...[Read More]
Review: Sonic All-Star Racing Transformed (360)
When it comes to racing games you’ll see me and friends playing quite often. It could be the Forza franchise, Mario Kart, and even Sonic All-Star Racing. For quite some time I’ve been putting a lot of time into Sonic All-Star Racing Transformed…heck, so much time that I finally have 1000 gamer score on Xbox 360. I’ll say this much…it was one hell of a time to achieve ...[Read More]
Review: Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds (XBLA)
For the past week I’ve been glued to my TV playing the recently released game Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds. Boy have I been having a good time, which might tell you the game is good, but it could have flaws as well. I’ll be asking you a few questions which you may have thought at some point. Do you wish you could find a game that is as good if not better than the Scott Pilgrim game ...[Read More]
Review: Pinball FX2: Star Wars DLC (XBLA)
I’ll admit here right at the start of this review that I don’t play many Pinball games, since I tend to not do well, though I do remember playing games such as Sonic Spinball on the Sega Genesis and Pokemon Pinball on the Gameboy Color when growing up. Those were the days, right? Now as we all know it’s 2013 and Zen Studios has more DLC for us to play, which releases tomorrow. Yo...[Read More]
Review: Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (360)
When someone says that a game is not worth $59.99 solely because of its length, I always throw Vanquish out as an example of an incredibly high quality, yet short, experience that is unequivocally worth full retail pricing. If a game is both short and underwhelming, then I can understand the argument, but simply discounting a game based on length will always result in an impassioned argument of...[Read More]
Review: Fist of the North Star: Ken’s Rage 2 (PS3)
Years ago, I reviewed the original Fist of the North Star: Ken’s Rage. I enjoyed it, despite its faults, because it was the best game based on one of my favorite anime. Does the Koei sequel improve upon the original, or fall flat?
Review: DmC: Devil May Cry (360)
DmC: Devil May Cry is Ninja Theory’s latest release on the Xbox 360, PS3, and PC. You’ll be able to find this game in stores as of January 15th, 2013 for consoles and 25th for PC. In 2010 most of us were most likely gaming or keeping an eye on the Tokyo Game Show. Most of us remember DmC: Devil May Cry being announced and shown off a little during the event. I can clearly remember seei...[Read More]
Review: Anarchy Reigns (360)
I do not believe that any game developer or publisher is perfect, even in cases of a perfect track record. A company with a perfect record is simply a company that has not yet made its first mistake. Platinum Games is one of the companies that sits on my “haven’t screwed up yet” list, primarily because of their absolute brilliance in developing Bayonetta and Vanquish (my game of ...[Read More]
Review: Dragon Ball Z HD Collection (360)
I’m a fan of the Dragon Ball Z franchise, ranging from the anime to the video games. There were a few video games while growing up that I thought were total crap, of course, so I crossed my fingers and hoped that the Dragon Ball Z HD Collection would end up doing well. In the Dragon Ball Z HD Collection, Namco Bandai has released updated versions of two of their classic titles: Dragon Ball Z...[Read More]
Review: NBA 2K13 (360)
I don’t often play sports games, but lately I’ve been playing quite a few, including the most recent NBA release from 2K Sports, NBA 2K13. I’ve noticed that there are a lot of different factors that bring players in to a franchise such as this year after year, such as the team rosters, the soundtrack, and the overall quality of the game. Is NBA 2K13 worthwhile? We’ll see.
Review: Mugen Souls (PS3)
There is a certain expectation that comes with seeing as NIS loge at the opening screen of a game. As the stalwart hold over for traditional Japanese RPG’s, NIS offers a regular injection for those of us with old school sensibilities. Mugen Souls looked to be a fun, turn based romp that would satiate those that crave turn based combat. It was clear it wouldn’t appeal to a massive audience, but it ...[Read More]
Review: Zone of the Enders HD Collection (360)
I find myself in a somewhat contradictory position. I have never played Zone of the Enders or Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner, yet I am a massive fan of mech games and anime series. I’m not sure why I never got around to it, but the recently released Zone of the Enders HD Collection is my first experience with the series at all. That being said, aside from a few bumps that really should h...[Read More]
