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.

Anyway, Resistance made it a point that a purple dragon named Spyro can enter our hearts so easily. Apologies again, that was Spyro the Dragon. Resistance follows Ratc-okay, let’s be honest, you probably remember Insomniac more for the Ratchet and Clank series

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.

Is Sony Reliving Vita mistakes with the upcoming PS4?

sony

Yesterday Sony, after a month of hype, announced the new PS4 is coming this year! To many Sony fans, this is the biggest announcement of their gaming lives! Many are ready to be first in line at the Sony booth to try out the new PS4 this June at the Electronic Gaming Expo.

But what is it that everyone is missing? When news sounds too good to be true, it usually is too good to be true. For example, the PlayStation Vita was going to be the second coming. An amazing launch line up, High powered specs, beautiful design, etc. But in the end the price of the System and accessories destroyed sales, and the games released after launch were lacking. Even a year later Sony is still trying to pick up the pieces and find out what they did wrong with the vita. At the recent Sony event, it was announced that the Vita would be able to stream PS4 games, in yet another late attempt to make the Vita look appealing to consumers. That is what the Vita has had to deal with because of its outrageous price!

Turtle Beach Ear Force X31 review

turtle-beach-600x245

The Turtle Beach Ear Force X31′s are a must buy for any Xbox gamer. With a superior sound quality that is a class above anything else we have tried, this headset will make you feel like you have the advantage over your opponent. However, it does have some flaws though.

Will Nextbox and PS4 need major unique selling points?

1348786340_3199_PS4

Nintendo have become exemplary when it comes to innovation in the hardware space. They are pioneers, and their pioneering in new and bold areas has proved incredibly fruitful – The Wii, with its motion controls, and the DS, with its dual screens, are two of the most successful video game systems in history.

5 things Nextbox needs to win next gen

The-Next-Box

While the first Xbox achieved less than respectable sales, Microsoft out-did themselves in almost every way with the xbox 360, taking a massive leap in market share, innovating tremendously in the online space and becoming yet another brand synonymous with gaming (and making Microsoft billions in the process). The 360 is currently neck and neck in sales with PS3, and won’t catch up to the Wii, so while this generation has been very successful for Xbox, potentially Xbox could be much bigger. Here are some things we think the next Xbox needs to meet that potential:
