Overwatch Review

Blizzard’s First shooter: One of the Generation’s Best

Imagine if Team Fortress 2 had a baby with a more awesome version of Team Fortress 2, and that baby was raised by Blizzard — that is Overwatch. Not a MOBA, not Battleborn, Overwatch is a multiplayer,first-person hero-shooter that emphasizes cooperative gameplay over the solo-Rambo route. Combining smooth, addictive gameplay, a cast full of interesting and distinct characters, and a refreshing presentation — Blizzard has emerged with yet another cash cow on its hands. Despite not usually being a fan of multiplayer games  — Overwatch, is the most fun I’ve had with a game in years.  Continue reading Overwatch Review

Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End Review

ONE LAST ADVENTURE

Forget what you know about Uncharted. In the opening hours of Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, it’s clear that we are dealing with a game that cares more about the characters than the heavy set pieces past games became known for. Even in the first hour, we get to know more about Nathan Drake than we did in the past three games. Can Naughty Dog give Nathan Drake the final outing he deserves? Continue reading Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End Review

FLASHBACK REVIEW | CAPTAIN AMERICA: SUPER SOLDIER

“I CAN DO THIS ALL DAY!”

Move over, G.I. Joe! There’s only one true American hero, and I guarantee his shield could knock you and your wussified “Kung-Fu grip” on your butt in the blink of an eye. Can this flag-wearing, Hitler-punching badass overcome the stigma of terrible movie-to-game adaptations with Captain America: Super Soldier? Continue reading FLASHBACK REVIEW | CAPTAIN AMERICA: SUPER SOLDIER

The Walking Dead: Michonne Review

NOT DEAD YET

Telltale Games has most notably built its name on games like Tales from the Borderlands and The Wolf Among Us, amongst a few others more recently. One franchise Telltale has returned to more frequently than the rest is its Walking Dead series, and that’s no surprise considering the critical and commercial success the developer has found in that zombie-ridden-verse. So for some, the release of a mini-series set far away from the characters in Telltale’s established plot may seem like a cash-grab. When we notice that The Walking Dead: Michonne is only three episodes long, as opposed to the five to six episode seasons we’ve become accustomed to, brows start to furrow in dim expectation.

Star Fox Zero REVIEW

THE WIND BENEATH MY WINGS

I’m pretty sure everyone in their 20’s has played Star Fox 64 at least once in their life. That was a magical game with amazing starship combat, tight controls, and challenging bosses. It’s still touted as one of the best games of the Nintendo 64 era, and even holds up to modern standards. Unfortunately, it set a high bar that several sequels failed to surpass — but does Star Fox Zero change that? Continue reading Star Fox Zero REVIEW

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD review

GO GENTLY INTO THE TWILIGHT

Nintendo has been on a Zelda remastering binge recently. Starting with The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D, nearly every 3D Zelda game has been remastered on either the Wii U or the 3DS. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD is the latest remaster, but unlike the previous re-releases, there wasn’t a large demand for this game. Despite its initial critical acclaim, this game isn’t as fondly remembered as other iterations in the franchise. Complaints with the game are numerous but they all seem to be related with Twilight Princess lacking something to make it stand out from the other games in the series. However, with a new coat of paint, and the best aspects of both of its previous releases, this HD remaster shows that The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess has aged better than expected and is well worth revisiting. Continue reading The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD review
