CounterSpy
Yet another PS+ free game I was happy to get, I’m having a lot of fun with CounterSpy so far. I remember that it got so-so reviews when it came out, but I was always really attracted to the stylish art direction, 2D gameplay, and, well, I just really like spy stuff. I’ve only had…

Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty
Yet another great PS+ release this month, this time the updated version of Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee, called New ‘n’ Tasty. Abe’s Oddysee was one of my favorite PS1 games, and I even played it again 3-4 years ago on PSP. How’s this update? Fantastic. This is more than just a simple HD upgrade, as it…

OlliOlli2
Even though I’ve played a few of them, I was never really that into the Tony Hawk games – or even the Skate series, which I admittedly liked better, the first one – but I was interested to play the first OlliOlli when it came out, as the 2D gameplay looked refreshing. I never got…

WWE Immortals
Yes, I’m playing a game in which WWE wrestlers are fighting it out while wearing fantasy costumes in a Mortal Kombat-like setting (made by the Mortal Kombat people). It’s basically the Injustice fighting game with a WWE fantasy skin, although I do get a kick out of how the big power moves are similar to the…

Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D
I picked this up tonight as one of my Club Nintendo free downloads, and I’m sure glad I did. I haven’t played a Donkey Kong Country game since the original one on the Super Nintendo, and wow, I just totally got sucked into the gameplay. Loving the platforming, and the visuals are really fantastic, with…

Apotheon
Just take a look at the screenshot above. This game has such a fantastic look to it, and the greek/roman history geek in me just can’t get enough of it. In terms of gameplay, it did take some to get used to it – at first I didn’t really like the way the character controlled,…

Life Is Strange
I’ll start by saying what I didn’t really like about this game, and that’s that the dialogue can be a bit too teens-of-today for my taste, but man, I sure enjoyed being in this world, and playing through this first episode. The visuals have a really nice feel to them – there’s a great painterly…

Big Hero 6
It starts off slower than I’d like, but once things got rolling, this was a pretty fun movie to watch. Loved the San Fransokyo setting, and they did a good job with the characters and the abilities. Not much else to say really, just good fun with slick visuals.

John Wick
Despite the very uneven start – sorry, but no puppy in the world acts that way, and the color saturation was just way overdone – this ended up being one of the best violent action movies I’ve watched in ages. I think this may have the best fight/gun action sequences since HK-era John Woo. Sure,…

Grim Fandango Remastered
Grim Fandango is quite possibly my favorite LucasArts games, and on top of that, one of my favorite games of all time. I was so happy when it was announced that they were going to do a “remastered” version, and I’m also incredibly happy that Day of the Tentacle will be next (and come on,…
