Resident Evil Revelations Review

Author: Jeff McAllister

In recent years, the Resident Evil games have been slowly descending into a festering pit of mediocrity. The once true survival-horror series has practically changed genres over the years, becoming full on action titles and doing away with any tension and suspense the series was known for. It’s not a change that anyone wanted to see and fans were hoping to someday see the series return to its hair-raising, spine-tingling, spook-fests that the original games had been so many years ago.

Resident Evil Revelations was released to high-acclaim last year on the handheld Nintendo 3DS, although the system’s layout prevented decent controls without the add-on circle pad; the game was an actual survival-horror game that brought the series, at least partially, back to its roots. Now a year later and nearly 6 months after the craptacular Resident Evil 6, Revelations is finally getting the full screen treatment with upgraded visuals for its release on the Wii U, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC.

xl_batman_arkham_origins_logo

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment has released five new screenshots from the upcoming Batman: Arkham Origins, which will be available Oct. 25th, 2013. The game, which is the third in the Arkham series of Batman games is being developed by WB Games Montréal and takes place several years before the first two games, Arkham Asylum and Arkham City, which were developed by Rocksteady Studios.

As the title implies, the game will focus the origins of Batman’s encounters with several of his Rogues Gallery members, including The Joker, The Penguin, and the main villain of the game, The Black Mask as they try to take him down on Christmas Eve. Batman: Arkham Origins will be available for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, the Wii U, and PC.

Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon Review

Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon Review
No, there isn’t a gun that shoots honey badgers…sadly.

Author: Jeff McAllister

If you could put two parts 80′s actions films, one part neon clothing of the era, and just a dash of hair band music riffs all into a blender, mix it high for ten minutes, and pour it out in videogame form, you would end up with the incredibly absurd, and somehow comforting world of Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon. To put it plainly, Blood Dragon is basically a mod for one of the best games released last year and while familiar, it’s not quite like anything that has been done before.

Injustice: Gods Among Us – Ed Boon Interview [VIDEO]

April 25, 2013 – 7:11 pm

edboon

Last week in Toronto, Mortal Kombat co-creator Ed Boon was showing off his recently released title Injustice: Gods Among Us. Friend of the site and gaming biz renaissance man, Justin Amirkhani (@Keadin) had a chance to ask some questions covering his view on the resurgence of the fighting genre, characters that he would have liked to have seen in the game that didn’t make the cut, and trying to figure out if there would be a certain someone as a hidden playable character.

Dead Island Riptide Review

Dead Island Riptide Review
A terrifying-ly bad game.

Author: Jeff McAllister

Dead Island was a middling game that was released in the not-so distant 2011 and followed a story of four island resort vacationers who were immune to a spreading disease that seemed to raise the other island inhabitants from the dead and turn them into aggressive and voracious monsters. Although the setting and idea was interesting; the gameplay, characters, quick deaths, and just about everything else about the game was disappointing.

With Dead Island Riptide, the new title from Techland, a company that is known for dropping bigger deuces than an elephant, it is simply more Dead Island with a new playable character. There’s nothing improved gameplay-wise, characters still look like they were carved out of wood, and the new additions to the game; like the hub-based wave battles are pointless and monotonous.

Dead Island Riptide: Weapon Duplication Glitch

April 24, 2013 – 5:57 pm

dir_head

There are times during Dead Island Riptide that having numerous amounts of the same weapon can come in handy. Whether it is because you like to toss them and sometimes they’ll get lost or if it’s because they are worth a lot to sell. There is a little trick you can do in Dead Island Riptide that will allow you duplicate the weapons you currently possess and allow you to carry many copies of them in case you just want to have an extra for backup or if you want to make a whole ton of money rather quickly.

Thunder Wolves Teaser Trailer [XBLA, PSN, PC]

April 10, 2013 – 3:47 pm

THUNDERWOLVES_LOGO

Coming soon to the PSN, PC, and XBLA from Bitcomposer Games and Most Wanted Entertainment is the helicopter title, Thunder Wolves. It is labelled as a arcade shooter but other than that, there really isn’t all that much else to go on. The trailer, which can be seen below, shows–well, some helicopters flying. Provided it is actual gameplay, it sure does look nice, but we’ll have to see when more gameplay is shown.

I was given a preview copy of the game, but it needs a key to unlock and e-mails to the PR asking for the key haven’t been answered. I’d like to give you more info about the game, as helicopter games like Choplifter and Thunderblade are among my favorites, but I guess we’ll just have to wait for more information.

[UPDATE] Key received and will hopefully have a preview posted soon!

Defiance: Day 2 Two Impressions

April 5, 2013 – 2:33 am

disconnect

WELP.

Day two certainly did not go nearly as well as day one did. When I first logged on today, the game downloaded a new patch which took about five or six minutes to install, but since then the game has been inexplicably unstable and for the majority, unplayable. I wanted to add some video to today’s article so I thought I’d do a quick Let’s Play of the action. You can see that at the end of the article. The day was full of the server not connecting, and when it did, it either disconnected soon after, or was horrendously laggy.

In general, today was a giant clusterfuck for Defiance.

Let’s Play – Defiance [X360]

April 4, 2013 – 4:55 pm

letsplaydefiance

After I posted up the Day One Impressions of Defiance, I thought I’d take a bit of video footage for the Day Two Impressions. Instead of just a bit of gameplay, I decided on a Let’s Play, and well, this is how it turned out. I’ll post up the Day Two Impressions of the game a little later on tonight.

Enjoy!
