There's no denying that Infinity Ward are a solid development studio, and after being let down by Battlefield 3's mediocre campaign, I found myself with a craving for some top-shelf modern warfare goodness. I knew full well that MW3 would deliver, and it surely did.
Uncharted 3 definitely does not disappoint, but it doesn't make too many advances either. It sticks to the tried and true formula concocted by the two games which came before it, and I'm perfectly fine with that.
Battlefield 3 is here, six long years after its predecessor. Although, we've seen several other Battlefield games in the mean time. From traditional releases, to download only console games, to free-to-play PC titles. The Battlefield has been constantly changing, although the core game play has remained in tact and has only strengthened over the years.
Arkham City takes the most logical step in every possible direction, making it an absolutely perfect sequel.
It delivers a satisfying, emotionally driven campaign that hits all of the right notes. And an awesome multiplayer suite that is sure to keep people playing for years to come.
I had extremely high expectations for L.A. Noire, and they were met, without a doubt.
They may be catered to children, but I find great pleasure in their simplistic gameplay, puzzle solving, and humorous storytelling.
Killzone 3 comes just 2 years later, and I'm beginning to think that a little more time might not have been a bad thing.
As much as I enjoy the Assassin's Creed series, Brotherhood was not a game I had high hopes for.
Despite all of the glaring flaws, I've still invested over 25 hours into it, and plan on at least a few more.
It's a big, deep Halo game on all fronts. With the exception of the AI issues I ran into through-out the campaign, it's one of the most solid and polished games you can play.
Limbo is a game I will remember for years to come, I have no doubt.
