  • Video Games: The Movie

    What to say about this documentary. As someone who loves games and grew up with them, I did have fun watching this, reminiscing on things, but it doesn’t really come off as anything else than a celebration of games, there’s no drama or interesting storyline. Even the history lesson is pretty brief, and although I…

  • Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes

    As much as I wanted to play this when it came out – I do consider myself a fan of the series – I absolutely refused to buy it because I didn’t want to support the pricing scheme. Charging $30 for this would indicate that you are getting half of what you would get from…

  • Shovel Knight

    Imagine an NES game, but done if the NES had kept evolving a few more years. I’m having a blast playing this, and I’m doing so mostly playing it on the Wii U controller – there’s also a 3DS version, but since I play even my 3DS games at home, I figured the Wii U…

  • Resident Evil Revelations

    I picked this up on 3DS last week because it was on sale for $10, and I’m sure glad I did. I have a hit-and-miss relationship with the series: I have fond memories of playing the first one, and maybe a bit of the second one, the last one I really enjoyed playing was Code…

  • Pushmo World

    ,

    I am completely new to the Pushmo series, having never played the two 3DS games (Pushmo and Crashmo), but after seeing some really positive reviews for Pushmo World, out for the Wii U, I decided to give it a try. I’m sure glad I did. I don’t play a whole lot of puzzle games, but…

  • 1001 Spikes

    —

    ,

    This is a really great game to have on your Vita. First off, the full title is Aban Hawkins and the 1001 Spikes, and yeah, it’s an Indy-esque flavored game with the difficulty of a Spelunky, and incredibly difficult environments to traverse. And even though I’m usually not that into playing games that like to…

  • Battlefield Hardline

    —

    ,

    I sure didn’t like this game. When it first leaked, I got pretty excited because the idea of you playing cops made me think that it might be similar to Rainbow Six – and Rainbow Six Vegas is still my favorite RPS experience. But no, this is nothing more than Battlefield set in a city,…

  • Destiny

    ,

    I had a chance to play the alpha release last weekend, and man, am I looking forward to more of this. As I’ve said many times, I’m admittedly not that big into FPSes, and never really got into Halo – the Xbox is the only modern console I didn’t own, and so I missed the…
