Sacred. Arguably one of the most underappreciated of the various RPG universes. Starting out on PC, the 3rd person isometric view and action-centered gameplay put it in a precarious position: Filling 2004’s Diablo void while many games moved away from PCs altogether. Fortunately, it had just the right amount of personality for it to stand apart from the Diablo-clone crowd, gaining a cult following from enthusiasts. This led to a proper expansion, as well as a full on sequel (one that ...
With 3 installments over the course of this console cycle, Gears of War has established itself as the ultimate embodiment of third person shooters. Many have tried to replicate its winning formula, but few have managed to offer the same blend of skull-crushing awesomeness that Epic has concocted with the series. Now that the fourth chapter has switched developers, People Can Fly has decided to attempt to freshen up the formula. Is the new approach a breath of fresh air or should you breeze ...
My mouth was dry as I began the back nine on the hallowed grounds of golf’s most iconic course. I hitched up my knickerbockers, approached the tee, and drilled the ball dead center of the fairway with my Brassie. It would be a difficult approach to the hole so I debated my club selection. Do I go with the Jigger for its better spin or the Mashie Niblick for its superior distance. I settled on a Pitching Niblick, adjusted the knot on my tie and knocked the golf ball onto the sepia ...
NetherRealm Studios, led by creative director Ed Boon, has taken a slight break from the chaotic and gruesome action that is featured within the Mortal Kombat franchise and has instead worked diligently on bringing the DC Comics Universe to the forefront with Injustice: Gods Among Us.
The story of Injustice features an alternate reality where Joker has done the unthinkable. He tricked Superman into killing his own wife and unborn child, which also resulted in the destruction of ...
A change in the core format can spell disaster for an IP, or it can breathe new life into an established character. Most Halo fans were less than jubilant to see the Spartan army battling the Covenant in a real time strategy game instead of the acclaimed FPS perspective. Previous attempts to bring Pac-Man to the third dimension have been critical flops, and heresy in the minds of many gamers. On the other hand, putting Mario behind the wheel for some Kart racing or moving GTA from a top ...
You sneak up on an enemy camp seemingly left abandoned. As you approach a blue buzzing satellite, prepared to hack your way in, you notice the screen flash red. Before you can turn to take cover, your body goes limp and you fall to the ground. Only after your untimely death do you see the two soldiers hiding in the rafters, reveling in their kill. If Special Forces: Team X has one major drawback, it is that gamers have been here before. Whether they have busied away hours playing Modern ...
After a disappointing Resident Evil 6 and a surprisingly great ZombiU, I was just as confused about the future of horror games as you might be. On one side of the spectrum, you see franchises becoming more action oriented and losing the essence of what made their games so special in the first place. On the other hand, certain developers seem to be trying to revive the survival horror genre and hearken back to its roots. Considering how the Dead Space franchise was always firmly rooted in ...
The Lego video game franchise has seen its highs and lows in the past. It was kicked off at a good start with the well received Lego Star Wars games, but continued onward with other licenses garnering a relatively unbalanced reception. Lego Indiana Jones and Lego Star Wars III: The Clone Wars were arguably the low points of the franchise, but both Lego Batman and Lego Batman 2: DC Superheroes had the advantage of original stories and even voice acting to boost the series to new heights. ...
The Call of Duty franchise has come a long way since its inception in 2003. At the time, its depiction of 1940s warfare was revolutionary for video games, and much critical praise was heaped on developer Infinity Ward. The Russian campaign of that game, where players were put in the boots of a foot soldier during the siege of Stalingrad, remains one of gaming’s most memorable moments. Since that time, the franchise has gone through two re-imaginings with the introduction of the Modern ...
Editor’s Note: The reviewer makes note below that the game does not have a widescreeen setting. Following submission, he discovered it indeed DOES have a widescreen presentation. We apologize for any inconvenience this inconsistency may have created, although this will not impact the final score.
The Dragon Ball series has been one of the most popular animes for the 80’s and 90’s kids. Bunch of superhuman beings with powers that can destroy whole planets...what’s not ...
