I havenât fully beaten an Assassinâs Creed game since the 2nd installment. I would lose interest in the game far too quickly for several reasons. This series hasnât been able to captivate me since that title. Black Flag is a toss up, as I ran out of time to play it. Assassinâs Creed Unity is a somewhat different experience for me as I am able to play for hours on end without falling over due to boredom, so in that sense we are seeing improvement.
Tomb Raider: The Ten Thousand Immortals by bestselling British novelist and comic book writer, Dan Abnett and Nik Vincent, is a novel continuing Lara Croftâs adventure and takes place between the events on Yamatai in the Tomb Raider reboot and the next to be released game title. This tale is considered cannon and acknowledge as such by developer Crystal Dynamics.
Time Rifters is a pretty unique game in itâs own. Pick a gun, upgrade that gun, and destroy different types of cubes in the process, pretty straight forward huh? Well look at all that, and add the fact that you can Play with 3 other bots that replay exactly what you do. Time Rifters implemented what I like to call, the ghost play. In this you play the first round with one of your bots, Shoot some cubes and lets say, destroy half of them. Round 2 is the same, you play as a new bot, but along with your new bot. when you start the round your previous recorded bot for that level will do exactly what it did round one, and with your new bot you can destroy the other cubes your previous one didnât. Pretty cool isnât it. Well personally, I think that is a pretty awesome feature. It is definitely a feature I havenât seen in any other game (that I know of). But this is where you can really enjoy the game, because you can create a tactic and then switch it up on the following arena round leaving your ghost to do what you prepared it for like flanking one way while you go the other to shoot down cubes and cube monsters to try to achieve higher completion points.
Civilization: Beyond Earth is not a flawless game. Itâs AI annoys the piss out of me, the bugs bothersome, and the feels extremely similar to Civilization V for obvious reasons. Yet, despite these complaints I remain addicted to Beyond Earth. It has wrecked my sleeping and eating cycle as I continuously utter âOne more round⌠one more roundâŚâ I am somewhat more addicted to this than I was for Civilization V, the reason for this is because I have no clue what I am doing. It feels the same, but the revamps done have truly made it feel completely different despite looking very similar. The game still manages to stand on itâs own two feet despite what people have been saying.
Itâs hard to describe this game as a whole, itâs as if Insomniac Games decided to mix several awesome games together and make an even âawesomerâ game. Welcome to the Awesomepocalypse, where we make up words and life isnât nearly as boring. Sunset City has been taken over by some of the weirdest mutants of all time and the culprit behind it all? An energy drink. Sunset Overdrive combines some awesome gameplay mechanics, with an entertaining story, interesting art, and some awesome customization. Itâs a game that takes away from other games, but still manages to hold itâs own and it stands tall.

The Legend of Korra is a beat em title from PlatinumGames. Based on the popular and critically acclaimed Nickelodeon television series of the same name, the newest game takes place during Seasons 2 and 3. Was the developer able do the series and character justice, or does The Legend of Korra fall to the same trappings as many other license titles before it? Sadly its the latter.
For those of you who have played the Gabriel Knight murder mystery series this remastered version is sure to hit home with some of you who played the original back when it released in 1993. Gabriel Knight Sins of the Fathers was an award winning murder mystery back in 1993 and now Pinkerton Road has released the remastered 20th anniversary edition.
The remastered edition features many upgrades from itâs original counterpart including new high resolution 3D graphics, new puzzles and scenes, a remastered soundtrack, and a bunch of behind the scenes goodies for those of you really into the Gabriel Knight series. Now personally I have never played a Gabriel Knight game and was very skeptical since it was a point and click murder mystery. But playing the remastered anniversary edition was actually quite enjoyable.
If you are into puzzle and trivia games then continue reading because mayâs mysteries secret of dragonville might just be for you. I honestly didnât expect much from this game since it was more for kids. But quiet honestly i had a lot of fun. From an adult perspective the story is cheesy and too simple, but that is to be expected cause it is for children. But as an adult, I actually had fun with it!
The puzzles were very well laid out, varied and actually quite challenging especially if you donât stroll through it in casual mode. The puzzles are many and they vary from item finds, to word problems, or even connecting the dots ( and believe me it is actually harder than it sounds) and trust me, theirs many more puzzles than that to solve some more difficult than others.

On September 9, 2014 Activision and Bungieâs Destiny was released and millions of players have been waging war against the darkness ever since. BradyGames also released their official strategy guide alongside the game. Is it a guide worthy of the game? Should new Destiny players or those having trouble, purchase it? Read on to find out.
About 2 years ago Bungie announced a game that would blow us all away, a game that at this moment, is a sight to behold, thatâs right, Iâm talking about Destiny. The insane shooter that took all gamers by storm from the announcement date all the way up to the release date and is still being massively talked about in the thousands.
KickBeat comes from Zen Studios who have been famous for the Zen Pinball series as well as the Pinball FX series on both major consoles. Zen Studios has backed both of these series extremely well with bringing in new tables to be purchased as DLC as well as adding popular tables. KickBeat is a genre that has really been missing for a while its a rhythm kung fu game. With an extreme soundtrack and new moves surely a new contender in the rhythm genre.
Pinball FX2 was released on Xbox 360 way back in 2010 which makes it kind of ridiculous that new downloadable content is still being released for the game. The newest table is based off Telltale Gamesâ and Skyboundâs award winning The Walking Dead games at a cost of $2.99.
House of 1000 Doors: The Palm of Zoroaster Collectorâs Edition is a joy of a game from Alawar that was released in May of 2012 and was the second installment for the series.

Metro Redux is developed by 4A games so they have already done this series once so its nothing new to them just adding some great features to this amazing series. Deep Silver is the publisher of Metro Redux and they are also best known for other games such as Sacred series, Risen series, and of course the Saints Row games. Metro Redux is running on a completely new engine giving new light to both games as they are running at 1080P and running at 60 frames per second due to the better hardware on the PS4 and Xbox One and it also has the ability to run at 4K resolution on high end gaming PCâs.
During my time in Tokyo, Japan, Iâve had my fair share of playing those weird and unique games that youâd only hear about from US/EU gaming sites or YouTube videos. There was a mix of shootâm ups (also known as âshmupsâ), fighting games with creatively drawn characters, racing games with a plethora of characters â some of which werenât seen outside of Japan, and then there were the dating sims. Iâll admit, this genre was and still is included in my list of gaming interests. Reason being is that Iâve seen improvement in how the dialog works so well, compared to most other modern games, including ones from the states, and Hatoful Boyfriend does take a rather original spin on this genre.
Magic: The Gathering is a well known card game that smashed on the scene in the early 90â˛s and is created by Wizards of the Coast who are also very well known for Dungeons and Dragons and the Pokemon Trading Card Game. In Magic 2015: Duels of the Planeswalkers, a computerized and digital approach to this real life trading card phenomena is presented similarly to the way Magic 2014 was released on Steam. These titles essentially offer a more convenient way for gamers to play the Magic card game together, but everything is not identical to the physical game.
Sniper Elite 3 comes from Rebellion Games. Theyâve been around doing the Sniper Elite games from the very beginning so they have been improving the game as theyâve gone along in the series. They also have done games such as: Evil Genius, Rogue Trooper, and Alien vs Predator. Being the third game in the series, will Sniper Elite 3 be able to become the best so far or is it not up to snuff still?

After playing QuestRun one word mainly comes to mind⌠why? Beautiful artwork, extremely well thought out statistical systems in the back-end, and yet everything takes place with little to no animation, music that could have been excellent with just a little bit more time in development, and a battle system that is almost completely automated. For those who wonder what that means, users control the use of items and equipment but do not actually get to pick each battle choice in each turn. This wasnât very popular for any RPG game thatâs tried it so far, which brings me back to my initial impression⌠why?
Omerta means code of silence, and thatâs something that everyone should keep in mind here in Atlantic City where bottles get crushed and fools get poked. In Omerta: City of Gangsters players run through Absecon Beach, Illinois Ave, Maine Ave, Virginia Ave, North Carolina Ave, or Downtown Atlantic City. Choose your character from a series of mob personalities that would probably be called wise guys in their time. Select their stats based on their nickname around the hood growing up, whether itâs something like âEarful, Berries, or Hoodâ, and proceed. Answer a series of questionnaires that will define you as a person and then select how much gang violence you would like to be taking place around you (and towards you), then finally gameplay begins.
OlliOlli feels awesome. This is probably one of the most important aspects of this project that prospective buyers should know. At first it wonât be particularly easy to land even the most basic of tricks, but how sexy this game looks and feels will give players more than enough motivation to keep trying until they get it down right. The game doesnât seem to make this obvious, but for those who found this Review in search of an answer â itâs necessary to tap the X button about a microsecond before the skater hits the ground. Tricks obviously canât be landed right if they are not completed mid-air either, for example you canât just land in the middle of rotation or flips.
