    This is like Flower, in that if you have the PS3 version you can download the new PS4 version for free. Since I originally played it on Vita, it’s hard for me to tell how much better it is than the PS3 version, but again, like with Flower, it gave me a nice excuse to…

    I decided to play though this again – if you have the PS3 version, you can download the PS4 version for free. It was of course a gorgeous and mesmerizing experience, just like it was the first time I played it, but for me it was hard to really tell how much better it is…

    This is a flawed game, but the concept behind it is an interesting one. Unfortunately, it involves a lot of platforming, and the mechanics to do so are a bit clumsy. But I like the setting, the idea of using shadows to create your platforming “blocks,” and just wish that gameplay was smoother. But hey,…

    This game sure has lovely ‘splosions! Everyone has been raving about this being the best game from the PS4 launch lineup, and they’re certainly right that it’s a fantastic game – and the fact that it’s free if you’re a PS+ member is just nuts. I love shooters, and I’m doing OK at this, but…

    Putting aside the fact that the game looks absolutely amazing (on PS4), when I started playing I was having a hard time wrapping my head around the chaos I was encountering: I’m driving around, shit is happening all over, what do I do? But as I started getting a better feel for the UI and…

  • Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag

    This is absolutely the most fun I’ve had with an Assassin’s Creed game – and I’m quite a big fan of the series, having played through and finished all of them (except the first one, which I didn’t finish). It starts off like a regular AC game, but a few hours in, once you have…

    A sequel to this game recently came out, which reminded me that I had bought the first one, but hadn’t really gotten around to playing it much. I have now done just that, and wow, this game is really well done. Yes, it’s based on the old choose-your-own-adventure books, but the presentation and interactive elements…

  • Asterix and Obelix: God Save Britannia

    I’m a huge fan of the books – grew up reading them – and I did like the second film they did  (Asterix and Obelix Meet Cleopatra), but I just didn’t get into this one. It should be silly fun, but I didn’t find myself laughing at all, and found that the soundtrack was especially…
