It’s a first-person shooter that Ubisoft describes as “an 80s VHS vision of the future.” That’s it. Stop reading and buy it now. Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon is a stand-alone expansion to Far Cry 3 (obviously) set in the post-apocalyptic future of 2007. You play as Sergeant Rex Power Colt, a Mark IV Cyber … Continued
Retro City Rampage makes it clear right from the title what you should probably expect from this game, it’s an 8-bit Grand Theft Auto homage. Makes perfect sense. That graphics are simple, sprites are tiny and the plot is deliberately lame but the concept behind the game is still amazingly brilliant. It’s an open-world experience … Continued
Easily my favorite RPG series, SMT takes the traditional RPG elements and places it inside a modern world. In the case of Persona 3 FES, the protagonist attends school, forms relationships with classmates and individuals around town and of course, hangs out with a drunk monk at a night club. It’s an RPG/Dating Sim combo. … Continued
I’ve always been a fan of the Need for Speed series going all the way back to a copy of the first one I played on the 3DO. It injected a dose of realism into the racing genre while most of us were still hooked on Super Mario Kart. The roar of the engine, the … Continued
I mentioned in the Devil Survivor review that I’ve been familiar with the SMT games since the early 90′s but sort of stumbled upon it when I was looking for a decent RPG for the DS/3DS. As a parent, my video game playing-time has been reduced over the years so I have focused on portable … Continued
I’ve known about the SMT games since the 90′s but never really looked into them. They either weren’t localized or the term “heavy dungeon-crawler” was used and that just wasn’t the type of RPG I was in to. I abandoned those back in the NES days and preferred the open exploration found in the Square … Continued
I’ll admit my Sly Cooper ignorance. The series has been around for years but I never took the time to dig into it until the HD re-release on the PS3 and it’s a decent next-gen platformer. You play as a raccoon thief who travels the world snatching up various artifacts while being chased by a … Continued
Like most games released near the end of a 16-bit console’s life cycle, SMW2 is one of the best games released for the Super Nintendo. Awesome graphics and gameplay, excellent sound and a crazy challenge contributed to a game that was overlooked as gamers began to transition to new systems. Let’s get the story out … Continued
File this under “games-I-should-have-reviewed-last-year.” Shantae: Risky’s Revenge is easily one of the best games I’ve played over the past few years and it takes a lot to impress me. A throwback sprite-based game that takes advantage of new technology, SRR combines that with an interesting story and decent soundtrack. In case you aren’t familiar with … Continued
Beavis and Butt-Head are not role models. They’re not even human; they’re cartoons. Some of the things they do could cause a person to get hurt, expelled, arrested, possibly deported. To put it another way: Don’t try this at home. And that is how a cultural phenomenon began. A poorly animated cartoon series about 2 … Continued
