Mass Effect PS3 Review Bit
As if some deal was made with the devil (perhaps that’s what happened) PS3 owners can finally enjoy the first game in the epic trilogy that was Mass Effect. Considered by many as the best in the series, does this 6 year old game still hold up or does it fall flatter than Kelly Chambers [...]
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning Review
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning may be more famous for its financial woes than for the game itself, but it is still one of the better games of 2012. It seems that getting released around four really big RPGs in a few months time killed what could have been a roaring franchises. I make no bones to my [...]
5 Things That Could Improve the Souls Series
With the announcement of Dark Souls 2 everyone is thinking (more like bitching really) about how the game will be now that the director of the previous two souls games, Hidetaka Miyazaki is leaving and they’ve announced that they want to make it more “accessible”. Tom and I have come up with 5 ways Dark Souls can evolve [...]
Dragon’s Dogma Review
I don’t think any game this year made me so elated and exasperated at the same time. Dragon’s Dogma may be exactly what Japanese games need, and at the same time shows all the flaws they need to improve. Off the bat I’ll tell you what will be this game’s downfall to many RPG fans, a [...]
Skylanders Giants Review
Sunday, October 21st was an important date for my nephew. It was the day that Skylanders Giants came out. ”But Brian, why is that such a big deal?” you might ask. Let me paint you a picture. I woke up Sunday morning, earlier then usual, and headed out to Toys R Us. I walked in [...]
Witcher 2 Enhanced Edition Review-Bit
An action RPG with lore that’s as deep as a Tolkien novel, and gameplay that’s part action and part strategy. In search of your lost memories, Geralt of Rivia is a witcher, a genetically altered human created to kill monsters and demons. Haunted with fragmented dreams of his past, Geralt has gone into the service [...]
Mass Effect 3 Review
(This review is based on the PS3 playthrough.) I can’t remember the last time there was a videogame series that was meant to be one epic story and pull it off. But here we are. Mass Effect 3 has come and gone and the story of Shepard vs the Reapers is finished. ME3 continues right [...]
Skyrim Review
It’s ironic that 2012 is the year of the Dragon as we spent a good chunk of 2011 killing them. For whatever reason we were given three games last year that portrayed dragons as giant scaly douchebags. Dragon Age II had a witch who transformed into a fire breaking jerk. Then Dark Souls gave us grotesque monstrous dragons sworn [...]
Infinity Blade 2 Review-Bit
Infinity Blade 2 is a marvelous game. I’m floored at the production quality, lasting appeal and fun it has to offer in a iPad game; it also doesn’t hurt that it’s a fantasy medieval game with a touch of sci-fi to get me engaged. IB2 is a quasi-on rails action sword fighting RPG game that is a series [...]
Dark Souls Review
Game Description: Take on gigantic demons in the hardest game you will play this year. Patience is your best friend as you explore a gigantic interconnecting world of death. OK OK we are all tired of hearing how insanely difficult Dark Souls is, but it really is the most challenging game you’ll play this year, [...]
