It's frustrating in just the right way, and I have a really hard time putting it down once I get started.
Despite its technical issues, The Walking Dead: Season Two shouldn't be missed.
Assassin's Creed IV could very well be the best game in the series. At least since Ezio's introduction in Assassin's Creed II.
With the likes of The Avengers, Fantastic Four, X-Men, Spider-Man, and dozens of other minor heroes coming together to fight a massive threat (quite literally), it's quite cool to see how it all played out.
Halo 4 is definitely still a Halo game through-and-through, but 343i's refinements have shaped it into something a bit more magical, and a heck of a lot more enjoyable.
Nothing short of frustrating, and often infuriating. It pains me to admit, that one of my most anticipated games of 2012, Assassin's Creed III, is a failure of epic proportions.
Max Payne 3 is an exhilarating ride from start-to-finish. And despite development changing hands, it's still very true to its predecessors. Those who enjoy excellent story telling and insane over-the-top action, definitely need to get their hands on Max Payne 3. But be warned, it is brutally violent, and some people will find it offensive.
I'm certainly no new-comer to the Battlefield franchise. A quick search will give you an idea of how long I've been playing these games, and also let you know that I've had a bit of a love/hate relationship as well. More so with the lack of support and proper updates the PC games were receiving back in the day, but thankfully none of that is of concern any longer. 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.
Halo: Reach is indeed a Halo game, through and through. If you loved the previous four games in the series (Halo 1, 2, 3, and ODST), you'll feel right at home with Reach. But if those previous games didn't do it for you, Reach likely doesn't do enough things differently to reel you in. That said, I've always been a fan of the series, and have quite enjoyed my time with Reach, for the most part. If this truly is Bungie's last Halo game, they've sent it out with style, and packed it with just about everything you could possibly want in a Halo game. Aside from the single player campaigns, there's really no reason to hang on to the previous games if you own Reach. If there was such thing as a greatest hits video game, this would be Halo's.
Arcade racing games provide an escape from reality that allows you to drive like a maniac in vehicles you could never afford, or don't even exist in the real world. Throw in some absolutely insane and often impossible situations, and you have Split/Second. Driving super fast and narrowly avoiding collisions is fun and exhilarating. Speeding across the deck of a sinking aircraft carrier and dodging jet fighters that are sliding down the inflamed landing strip is fucking awesome! You haven't played a racing game like Split/Second before.
Batman has had a terrific run on the big screen in recent years, but his history in video games has been nothing short of abysmal. Thankfully, Batman: Arkham Asylum finally does some justice to one of comic book's most loved heroes. Right from the get-go, the story sucks you in and keeps a firm grasp until the moment the maniacal Joker is taken down by The Dark Knight and the city of Gotham is saved, once again.
I don’t play many fighting games, although I have in the past. I spent many, many quarters on Street Fighter 2 and Mortal Kombat back in the day, but when things started getting crazy complex, I lost interest. Trying to remember 25 hit combos and countless special and finishing moves for dozens of characters isn’t […]
