Highlights From QuakeCon 2016
QuakeCon 2016 has come and gone, and for the 21st year, the shooter-oriented community event once again left Dallas attendees awestruck with its cavalcade of awesomeness. Fueled by new content from Bethesda and backed by plenty of devoted fans doing their thing, the show left no stone unturned when it came to providing fun across just over three days.
Marvel: Ultimate Alliance Combo Pack Review
Activision seems to have this habit of re-releasing games from a previous generation onto new systems, mainly fueled by general interest in franchises. Don’t get me wrong – a lot of companies are doing re-issues these days. But the company’s proven that they don’t always work for the best, with FunLabs putting less-than-impressive work into its translations of the Prototype games...[Read More]
Marvel: Ultimate Alliance Combo Pack
This Ultimate Alliance Bundle contains both games from the historic franchise! Marvel: Ultimate Alliance Create an ultimate team from the largest Super Hero alliance ever as you engage in an epic quest to determine the fate of the Marvel Universe.
Suicide Squad (Film) Review
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice definitely left a mixed feeling over the comic book universe. Part of the audience couldn’t get enough of it, while others felt a bit cheated, considering the movie could’ve been so much more. Me? I thought it was okay, but it was clear that DC Comics’ cinematic universe had a long way to go when it came to catching up to Marvel. We’re tal...[Read More]
ABZÛ Review
Sometimes you don’t necessarily need a vast storyline to enjoy a video game. Oh, sure, that may make it seem shallow at first, but if the gameplay makes up for it, that’s not really a problem. Just take a look at the handful of arcade classics out there – Pac-Man, Tempest, what have you – and even more current favorites, like Journey, which told its tale without barely any hint of what...[Read More]
Jason Bourne (2016) Review
The Bourne trilogy really ended on the right foot with me. By the time The Bourne Ultimatum rolled around, it was just time to give the character some closure and move on to the next action thing. However, Universal didn’t think so, and tried (and failed) to reboot the franchise with The Bourne Legacy, only with Jeremy Renner poorly trying to take over for Matt Damon.
ADR1FT Review
I wouldn’t exactly call Gravity my favorite movie out there – the corny ending (which I won’t spoil) kind of make me go “ehhh” on it – but for about the first hour or so, it generated some real tension, especially if you were watching it in 3D and freaking out as practically everything fell apart around Sandra Bullock. So, to recap, it started strong, but finished with kind...[Read More]
Song of the Deep Review
Insomniac Games is usually known for higher-end projects like Ratchet and Clank, Spider-Man the Game for PS4, and the always delightful Sunset Overdrive. So imagine our surprise, then, when the team decided to take a unique turn with its latest release, Song of the Deep.
Batman: The Killing Joke Review
We’ve seen our fair share of outstanding Batman movies in the past – I don’t need to tell you how amazing Batman: Mask of the Phantasm is after all these years, do I? – but none have the same level of anticipation as Batman: The Killing Joke. An R-rated animated film that promised initially to not hold back any punches, Joke was promising to stay devoted to the source material, written...[Read More]
Exzeal Review
I do love me a good shmup. I really don’t know what it is – the one versus all component, the fact that a lot of boss attacks come across like lethal fireworks – but I just get hooked when a good one comes along, like Super Galaxy Squadron EX or Dariusburst Chronicles, still one of my favorites in the genre.
Star Trek: Beyond Review
Not every Star Trek fan is a devotee to the new films that J.J. Abrams started back in 2009, but in a way, I can understand that. Some people will always see William Shatner as Captain Kirk and Leonard Nimoy as Spock. But I feel that the new movies have delivered an utmost energy to the screen, while at the same time tributing the legacy of old so that it feels familiar enough to not turn fans awa...[Read More]
Assault Suit Leynos Review
There aren’t too many games these days that remind us of the “hardcore” days of the Sega Genesis, when titles from Wolfteam (like Gaiares and Sol-Deace) ruled the land, and we couldn’t get enough of the challenge they provided. Mixed in with this was Target Earth, a ridiculously tough mech shooter that had something to offer at every turn – provided that you were a good eno...[Read More]
