It doesnât come as a surprise to me when I say Little Big Planet is back and better than ever. I mean, with 3 new characters, completely new story, new customization, and the ability to play all of the player created maps from the original? Yeah, Little Big Planet is back and itâs better than ever. If you have loved the previous installments, as I have, then there really isnât a reason for you to not buy Little Big Planet 3. The game offers new characters, new styles of play, and new ways to enjoy your time. Little Big Planet 3 is the best game in the installment for many reasons, but itâs also the biggest one as well.
Derrick the Deathfin is a crazy cool title for Steam which has recently released and consists of a fast-paced, action-based experience in which players take the role of a deadly shark who is just a child when his mother and father have been sucked up by human machines and likely turned into canned goods. In a fit of rage Derrick the Deathfin storms off and vows revenge for what has happened to him. Next players are presented with varying levels.
*Spoilers* This DLC takes during Lords of Shadow 2, so if you havenât played or beaten it turn back now. Read our review here.
âRevelationsâ is a digital only story add-on for MercurySteamâs Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2. Towards the end of LoS2 it was revealed that Alucard, son of Dracula played a huge role in the events of LoS2. We learned of the plan he and his Father put in motion in order to put a stop to Satan and to also have his wish of being freed from his curse of immortality.
Bioshock Infinite has been out for a little over a year now. Now we finally have all the DLC in our hands, mainly the two episodes of Burial at Sea. I will be reviewing both episodes as if they were one, since it really feels like they should have been included together in the first place. So, would you kindly:
Proteus is an indie developed game by a team of two individuals by the names of Ed Key and David Kanaga. To call it a game is unfair, as it is more of an experience. It was released in January of this year for Steam and October for Vita and PS3. This review is based on the Steam version. It plays smoothly on low-end PCs.
We recently had the pleasure of speaking to Greg Johnson from Human Nature Studios who developed the recently released PlayStation 3 / Vita / PS4 game Doki Doki Universe (our review coming soon) about a myriad of topics. In the following brief but deep interview we offer you a brand new look inside the minds behind this fresh and original take on video games as a medium of expression and indeed an art form. *Answers are unedited and uncensored thoughts of the developer, questions asked by myself, Jon Ireson (Editor-In-Chief).
Madden NFL 25 is an NFL Football game where you hold down the trigger button to run after catching the ball, andâhaha, just kidding. The fact of the matter is Madden NFL 25 is at the top of itâs game, showcasing 25 years of innovation from the dedicated team at EA Sports who works closely with their community to remove exploits, enhance gameplay experience, and maintain realism which has never been matched in the industry. You could probably use this game to predict a lot, as EA Sports has worked very closely with NFL players to create the game by monitoring their bodyâs performance and their behavioral tendencies as well as implementing state of the art motion capture technology.
Stealth Inc: A Clone in the Dark (Also known as Stealth Baz-tard released on Windows in 2011) is a 2D platform video game developed and published by Curve Studios released on PSN for PS3 and Vita.
Sanctum 2 comes from developer Coffee Stain Studios. Theyâve made the original Sanctum back in 2011. The Sanctum series is an FPS tower defense game on âroids, where it combines the basics of a normal tower defense with the adrenaline of an FPS. Sanctum 2 takes place on the planet LOEK III, where you are tasked with protecting cores from the alien race. The story that takes place is represented by a series of comic strips throughout the campaign and give a little back story on the fight youâre going to take part in. In the campaign you can either take the story on by yourself or with a total of 4 players in co-op. There is a total of 16 maps to battle across and they come in different environments so adapting is a huge part of this game.
The first piece of DLC is out for Metro Last Light, itâs called the Faction Pack where you the player get to play through three different set-ups that take place during the campaign. You arenât playing the main character but playing other people that exist in the world. The first character you play as is a sniper of the Redline and youâre tasked with infiltrating Reich Outpost at night. This outpost is heavily guarded and will take some skill to go through. You also have the shadows as your friend and itâs also during a very deadly radioactive storm.
Intro- Iâm just going to keep swinging my fists and walking in your direction, if they happen to hit you in the face itâs your own fault. Remember that game when we were kids, or is it just me? Hotline Miami takes some of the most raw and unforgiving gameplay mechanics derived from street fights and brings them together into a game that will put hair on your chest. In Hotline Miami you are a killer who takes out mansions full of goons who are obsessed with rave club music and putting chicks into bathtubs. Not exactly a hero, you once did this for revenge. Now your anger, hatred, and passion are all blurring into one sadistic blend of combat.
Binary Domain takes place well into the future and it takes full advantage leaving behind not many missed gameplay opportunities. Youâll see yourself using technology such as nano-machines to upgrade your weapons and other technological advancements to your advantage during your war against robots. Youâll be glad to have these advantages on your side too. Since your enemy isnât human theyâve got a few advantages themselves, most notably they donât die just from losing limbs.
Pushing the boundaries of PC gaming while also managing to deliver a fully immersive narrative and gameplay experience, Metro: Last Light is essentially Fallout without the boring parts. The hit detection in this game is second to none, every shot you take will go where it should. But thatâs not the only thing about Metro: Last Light that will have you on the edge of your seat. Stealth gameplay also makes a huge appearance once again with light and shadow playing a role in the tactics and strategy employed upon approach. The setting of the game is a wasteland riddled with political corruption and wild mutants as well as a controversial race of beings that those who completed Metro 2033 should know all about. These beings are dubbed the Dark Ones.
The graphics in this game are phenomenal and although you wonât be getting the same experience on console as you will on a high-end PC, the great translation on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 actually looks fantastic and could easily pass for one of the best looking console games of the year. Beyond that the gameâsâ physics engine is tight, and just plain old fun. For once youâre able to max out your gaming experience (and we really mean max out) without having to compensate in your gameplay routine for a poor game engine. This means Metro: Last Light produces a stress-free experience aside from the difficulty which can be very brutal as you run short on ammo and resort to calculated tactics for survival.
Some moments of this game feel like they are right out of a science fiction novel and tip toe around deep thinking philosophy that will have those who pay attention to detail pondering other worldly topics and aspects. However, this type of âsending a messageâ with the game thing doesnât overstep its boundaries at all. The storyline of this game mainly intends on keeping you gripped in the action and passion of the main characters quest for survival in the Metro and at times on the scarred, worn surface of Earth itself. Adaptive artificial intelligence and intriguing enemy design will keep you on your toes and have you shocked into adrenaline mode quite often, and you will have to learn each enemyâs reaction to the guns youâve got on hand until you know the most efficient way to kill what youâre up against.
The characters in Metro: Last Light are very well developed, and youâll find yourself walking in on conversations that you just have to hear. These can distract you from the main plot, but also turn into side missions that you can actually play and experience for yourself. Most of the story lineâs non-playable characters are quite memorable, and have a distinct personality to each their own. The game is entirely single player, with no multiplayer to speak of, but you wonât mind because itâs truly a single player shooter done right that veterans of the clouded genre can be proud to own and enjoy playing more than once.
The ranger mode adds to the gameplay experience by removing the heads up display in the game and creating an even more drastic shortage of ammo. Already in the gameâs hardcore and normal modes you will need to be very careful how much time you spend wandering around in the game if you want to live. There is no swimming, and when youâre on the surface you need to be weary of how much oxygen and bullets you use now in order to balance how many you will be saving for later. Thereâs an ability to buy and sell ammo while also customizing your guns, but this chance will come only a handful of times as the gameâs highly amped action sequences take you from place to place in a powerful rollercoaster of cause and effect.
Final Verdict:Â Metro: Last Light is an extremely polished shooter with a story that grips you and gameplay that has you gripping your controller tight until the end. RealGamerNewz scores this game a 9.75 out of 10.

Well the time is upon us. The foul smell of rotting flesh is in the air. What will be your weapon of choice? Who will live to fight another day and who will fall victim to the mounting hoards of reanimated, mindless, flesh hungry zombies? Dead Island Riptide is the perfect blend of survival and horror and redefines the genre which has often been accused of becoming watered down. The action of the game is intense, the story pulls you in and grips you, but most importantly you really feel like you are living in a post-apocalyptic world in which your every move must be calculated. Your eyes will learn to scan for infected constantly. Every time you turn a corner you will have to be prepared to strike.
Dragon Fantasy Book I. Does that name ring a bell? If youâre familiar with RPGâs, doesnât it somehow make you think about Dragon Quest or Final Fantasy? Well good, because thatâs exactly what the Developers over at @MutekiCorp want you to feel. I think? Regardless, Check out our lastest review of Dragon Fantasy Book I. right here at RealGamerNewz; Relax and Enjoy.
You can tell that itâs that time of year again when the smell of burning fuel, the sound of screeching tires fills the air. The anticipation begins to mount as the rumble of the eight hundred horsepower, two hundred mile per hour behemoths begin their run towards the starting line. Once again if youâre looking to insert yourself into the NASCAR experience there is only one way other than heading out to the track itself, and thatâs with NASCAR The Game: Inside Line.
BioShock Infinite returns into the hands of itâs original creator Irrational games. They made one of the highest rated games of all time for the Xbox 360 back in oh hmm 2007. It was a marvel of wonders as to this date remains one of my favorite games. The question here is how does BioShock Infinite stand up to the first one or is it even worth the while for all these delays.
The WRC racing series has always paved the way and made a name for itself within its own niche of pure rally racing that comes straight off the top as an exciting and adrenaline-filled experience. If you know anything about racing games then you know that there might be more hardcore simulation systems out there but when it comes to simply wiping dirt all over your opponentâs face, WRC 3 is going to spend some time spinning your wheels.
Thanks to Dylan Jobe (President of LightBox Interactive), and Sony, Warhawk got another boost giving all of us core players and people who just got on board a great reason to continue playing this awesome 3 year old game. Holding a 30 day tournament 24/7 with official servers and not team or clan bases brackets made this crazy fun grueling environment come to life causing some good effects and of course even more bad ones. Leaving you the player with a true test of your $K!L and dedication while trying to land one of those top 50 spots even if not going for the prize but just the prestige of topping 50,000+ entries.
