Fuse review

Fuse box

Have you ever sat and watched a movie you couldn’t really get into, but you watched it anyway because you were bored? That’s exactly how Fuse is. The game attempts to use the same old “merc gets a heart” formula, which can be an okay idea at times, but without a very strong story behind it the game usually flops.

Metro: Last Light review

MetroLastLight

When the echoes of the past have you in their grip, clawing your way out seems to be the only option. Shadows that are illuminated by lighting bolts don’t just seem to move, they do move. Ghostly images of past lives litter the world and you sense, if not outright feel, their chilled hands clinging to you in search of warmth. These are just a few of the haunting examples you will stumble across in Metro: Last Light. Even though it’s a direct sequel of Metro 2033, Last Light stands as it’s own game.

Thomas Was Alone review

Thomas Was Alone

Thomas Was Alone is a simplistic and charming indie game with a distinctive concept. The story is based on a range of shapes with unique personalities that all behave differently. The shapes all have their own names but don’t talk, instead the game is narrated throughout.

Injustice: Gods Among Us review

INJUSTICE_11

The last time a game with DC comic book characters met up with Mortal Kombat influence, we were subjected to a rather dull, boring, and mainly bullshit game. Understandably it was an attempt to bring DC into the fighting game genre. We’ve had Marvel based fighting games for a long time, but any foray into the DC universe is met with a resounding failure. The more recent attempts at a DC universe game presence, such as the Batman: Arkham series seems to have put new life into a tired idea. What we get, is a rather pleasant surprise with NetherRealm Studios’ Injustice: Gods Among Us.

Bioshock Infinite review

bioshock-infinite

To fully understand and appreciate Irrational Games’ Bioshock Infinite it helps to have a basic understanding of alternate realities. The theory that at any point in time there are an infinite amount of parallel realities that can seem exactly the same or completely different. In one world you could be the opposite sex, you might never have been born, you might have children or have none.

Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 Review

The long running shounen anime Bleach came out with its first Playstation 3 adventure way in 2011. How does it hold up today?  

Tomb Raider review

Screenshot from Tomb Raider (2013)

Franchise reboots are always controversial. Many gamers don’t want to see their favorite games ruined by a new title. Others think the games are stale and need to come at a new angle. The unfortunate reality is that many reboots end up hurting a series rather than helping. Crystal Dynamics hit the nail on the head.

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance Review

MGR Box

There are some games that just scream fun. Whether it’s a racing game to blister your friends on the track, tear through opponents in some gory fighting games, or popping domes in online shooters, these games are all pure enjoyment. Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance can add itself among them.

Borderlands 2 Sir Hammerlock’s Big Game Hunt Review

Sir_Hammerlock_DLC

We always wanted to know about Sir Hammerlock. He seemed quite eccentric, even from the start of Borderlands 2. With the addition of the Big Game Hunt DLC, you get plenty of opportunity to learn more about him, but unfortunately he becomes rather dull very fast. Where he was interesting in the full game, his dialogue in the DLC lacks the enjoyable aspect you get from the usual missions. His posh gentleman act gets on your nerves since it really serves no point except to antagonize the main villain.

Borderlands 2 Captain Scarlett And Her Pirate’s Booty: DLC Review

borderlands-2-captain-scarlett-her-pirates-booty

Gearbox Software is well-known for it’s DLC, especially with the Borderlands series. Borderlands 1 had several good add-ons, including The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned. Each is lengthy and well executed and Captain Scarlett is no exception.

LEGO The Lord of the Rings: Review

220px-Lego_Lord_of_the_Rings_cover
Anyone who is a fan of the LEGO video games knows they are a decent puzzle plat-former. The games are aimed towards the younger generations, targeting children to young teens. Built around this premise, the objectives are straight forward and easily highlighted. The games are put together well, the controls handle nicely for the most part, and the formula stays pretty consistent throughout the games. Unfortunately, that consistency is what is slowly killing the franchise. With practically no innovation, the games are becoming a stale repetition with a setting and character roster change. The games may be advertised for kids, but there are a large amount of casual players that make up those sales figures. Eventually, the continuous use of that mediocre formula will simply cause the games to flop, and the time will come when relying on the low expectations of the consumer will be the end of the LEGO series.

Hitman: Absolution Review

hitman-absolution

There are few truly good stealth and assassination games out there in the virtual world – Hitman is one of them. New or old to the series, nothing can take the place of actually being Agent 47.

Dead Space 3 Review

dead_space_3_game-wide-1024x640

If you are new to the dead series you have definitely been missing out on the past installments. If you aren’t new then you know exactly what we are talking about. It goes to show that most of us can agree that the DS series is not an experience to be missed out on, but what about the newly released Dead Space 3? How well does DS3 break the surface considering its reputation?

Of Orcs & Men review

of Orcs & Men logo

Of Orcs and Men is a fantasy/RPG with a heavy influence taken from the classics of the genre, such as Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. Now being developed by two indie studios (Cyanide Studios and Spiders Game) Of Orcs and Men shows all the promise but never really takes off. Saying that, this is a massive step in the right direction for indie developers hoping to release games across multiple platforms.

Sound Shapes is PSVita’s newest gem. The downloadable music-making 2D platformer by Queasy Games is a unique and refreshing take on the music genre, and an excellent addition to Playstation’s Play, Create, Share collection.
