Darksiders II
I have a fascination with mythology, my friends. Yes, even Jewish mythology. Darksiders is to the Jewish as God of War is to the Greeks. It takes a mundane belief system and ramps it up with HIGH OCTANE PULSE POUNDING BRO-ACTION! And boy does Darksiders 2 have bro-action. No complaint here. The game starts off […]
A Quick Look: To The Moon
I have to get it off my chest: Ken Gao’s To The Moon is fantastic! As a man, I am not afraid to admit I have emotions, so believe me when I say that I was reduced to a sobbing ball of tears after completing the game. Its story structure is perfectly crafted to evoke […]
Gravity Rush
PlayStation Vita has been waiting almost six months for a strong, original IP and Gravity Rush sweeps in to nab the spot. Japan Studio took their sweet time on releasing this baby, and it is well worth the wait. Strangely the approach to this game is hard to grasp. It would appear that writer, Naoko […]
Starhawk
So let me start off with this: I was playing Twisted Metal back in the day; you know, maybe one to two years later when it was re-released to PlayStation’s Greatest Hits. Well, on the CD was a trailer for a game called Warhawk. Nowadays the game would look like trash, but for my ten […]
Mortal Kombat Vita
Mortal Kombat stands as a historical monument for video games. Unlike Sonic or Mario, the series has heavily influenced games in ways unimaginable. Thanks to Mortal Kombat, we not only have the ESRB but we also have discovered several anti-video game activists we can add to our personal hit lists thanks to their excessive speeches […]
Twisted Metal
What happened to the days of ridiculous caricatures of popular archetypes? What happened to the days of excessive violence and heavy metal overlaying childish glee? The newest Twisted Metal attempts to rekindle this spirit and does so admirably. Having a shaky track record, the series seems to finally realize itself for what it is; developer […]
Mass Effect 3
Thank you Star Wars. Thank you Battlestar Galactica. Thank you Star Trek. Thank you H.P. Lovecraft. Thank you every science fiction writer for laying the way for Bioware to create and wonderfully conclude this epic that is Mass Effect. Coming into Mass Effect 3 after enjoying its amazing previous title, I was worried that it […]
Asura’s Wrath
It has finally come to this folks. Years and years of permitting poor game design choices and you get what you rightly deserve, Asura’s Wrath. I hear people parading around on their glorious hate train saying how stupid Capcom is for creating a game that ends up being a very expensive anime. Well it is […]
Gotham City Impostors
So did you hear the news? Team Fortress 2 and Call of Duty had a baby. Yep. No, it’s not cute at all. It’s very light too. I don’t know. I didn’t even know they were dating let alone knockin’ boots. Regardless, that poor little thing is going to be a deranged little bastard. Those […]
Mario Kart 7
Mario Kart 7 is a game you wave to as you pass each other in the street in acknowledgement of a fond but distant past. You walk on with a content smile only looking back once in some sort of longing for past pleasantries but proceed to remember how those times have past. You pray […]
