Gemini: Heroes Reborn review

Leave a comment

FORCE PUSHED

Gemini: Heroes Reborn is better than it has any right to be. Based on the recent Heroes television miniseries Heroes Reborn, the game has all the trappings of an IP-tie in video game, including unimpressive presentation and a lack of creative design. However, the gameplay’s main component, combat, became the game’s saving grace that kept me entertained all the way to the end. What should have been a typical example of a bog standard title based on a pre-existing intellectual property manages to be a step above its preconceptions, if in a unsubstantial way.

MONG Podcast 113 | The Fireside Firewatch Firecast

Leave a comment

The crew decided to take a departure from the norm this week by only covering one story each and taking that extra time to do a nice little spoilercast. Can you guess what it’s on? Probably, if not, it’s Firewatch. However! Before the Firewatch spoilercast, they covered the news of the beautifying of Knights of the Old Republic, the revival of Carmageddon, and the continued news of the Kojima-Del Toro dream team! So join us for another fun week of talking about our beloved hobby, games, and jokes. Apparently Parrapa the Rappa was on one caster’s mind!

Pneuma: Breath Of Life Review

A WHOLE NEW WORLD

Puzzle games these days seem to be centralized around the mobile marketplace. Titles like Candy Crush Saga and Bejeweled have millions of downloads because of their bright colors and simplistic gameplay. It’s been quite a while since a first-person puzzler was released to the world, or if there has been one, I haven’t noticed. So I was fortunate that Pneuma: Breath Of Life crossed my path. Deco Digital Studios did a fantastic job of creating a world that not only looks amazing, but is filled with tough yet manageable puzzles and an interestingly philosophical storyline.

LAYERS OF FEAR REVIEW

ABSTRACT HORROR

I returned to find my home in its usual state of disarray. Rats scurried underfoot, disappearing into cracks in the walls as I moved toward the staircase. Papers and books lay spread over the the dining table, lit candles flickering nearby with each whistling breeze which cut through our decaying home. I blinked, my eyes barely adjusted to the dim lighting before a noise beckoned me from the kitchen — and what I saw next was bloodchilling. This is Layers of Fear.

Is PC Actually Better Than Console?

2 Comments

All hail the PC Master Race! This collective hivemind consists of purebred gamers who have made the Personal Computer their gaming platform of choice due to its limitless processing power, compatibility with various controllers and input devices, forward thinking focus on digital releases, multitude of new releases in a vast array of genres, and community support of titles that include fixes, mods, and upgrades. For the longest time, the prevailing opinion has been that whenever a game is released for PC as well as consoles, it would be the superior version by default. Furthermore, the PC is home to many unique exclusives that consoles wouldn’t even be able to run. The expanded capabilities of the PC trumps anything modern consoles can output. However, with respect to the glorious PC Master Race, is that really true? More and more often, we hear about the woes of PC games being broken at launch. In fact, these problems have become so commonplace, that I think it’s worth asking if PC gaming is actually better than gaming on consoles. Continue reading Is PC Actually Better Than Console? →
