Despite it releasing nearly three and a half years ago, Red Faction: Guerrilla is an absolutely fun experience that I can easily recommend to anybody. Aside from a few yawns the story gave me, along with awkward and stiff dialogue, I completely loved the ways I could demolish a building and alter a battle according to my selection of weapons. Volition Inc.’s focus on making a game revolve around b...

Mass Effect is the first in a three part series and it is an amazing game especially the story which is the best story of any game in my opinion. The game lasts around (if you do all the side quests like me) forty hours for me. The gameplay is the weakest part of the game it is cover shooter and if you play as a soldier it isn’t fun I played as an engineer who has ranged attacks like fire. Enginee...

Going forward many will reference The Walking Dead as the benchmark for storytelling. It’s just that good. Note: Spoilers from Episodes 1-4 follow The...

Seriously it would help explain a lot of things, for example why the villains do dumb things. Why let someone run away after killing your brother so they can plot their revenge to kill you and destroy everything you own? Simple, insanity! Anyway Far Cry 3 continues the franchises traditions ...

For those who don’t already know, Afro Samurai the game is a tie-in to the popular anime and manga of the same name which already had me worried because with the exception of Spider-Man 2 and possibly some of the Naruto games, tie-in games in general tend to be crap (oh hi Spider-Man 3). So is Afro Samurai any good? Well it's better than most tie-ins but that’s not saying much. The story follows ...

The end is nigh as The Walking Dead Episode 4: Around Every Corner sets the stage for the conclusion to Telltale’s epic saga. Although this episode is fantastic it its own right, it falls drastically short of previous episodes. Lapses in Telltale’s masterful storytelling lead to an indifferent feeling towards new characters with a few spoon-fed emotions along the way. To be fair, most of my critic...

The Walking Dead: Episode 3 -Long Road Ahead is, in one word, intense. From having a traitor in our midst, to losing several valued members of our group; life just continues to get worse for Lee and company. The episode is full of elaborate plot twist that will make your jaw drop and leave you speechless. Overall Episode 3 is a great addition to Telltale’s The Walking Dead series, though it’s not ...

XCOM Enemy Unknown Community Page I am disappointed to say this but I have never played an XCOM game in my life. I had never even heard of the series until this title had been presented at E3, but boy do I regret not knowing about it. With the Earth about to become dominated by an unknown alien race, could XCOM Enemy Unknown be humanity’s saving grace? XCOM: Enemy Unknown sees you the player becom...
