LEGO Marvel’s Avengers Review

LEGO’S ASSEMBLE!

LEGO Marvel’s Avengers is the latest iteration of the LEGO videogame franchise, following in the footsteps of LEGO Jurassic Park, LEGO Batman, and other popular licenses. Promotion and buzz on the game promised an immense open-world, gigantic character list, and faithfulness to the Marvel cinematic Universe (MCU). Though the game can suffer from overly-simplistic challenges, LEGO Marvel’s Avengers is a fun, captivating, and exciting gaming experience.  Continue reading LEGO Marvel’s Avengers Review

RESIDENT EVIL: ORIGINS COLLECTION REVIEW

THE ORIGINS OF TERROR

With the survival horror genre achieving a resurgence in recent years, it seems fitting that one of the most iconic franchises from its early days is reliving past glories as well. As Capcom aims to return the Resident Evil (RE) series to its frightful roots, they have begun to re-release past successes while awaiting the inevitable seventh entry in the series. Combining the freshly-polished remake of the original RE, now dubbed Resident Evil HD (REHD), with a beautifully remastered edition of Resident Evil 0, Capcom has provided the perfect survival horror starter kit for gamers.

7 WAYS BEING A XBOX FAN HAS BEEN DISAPPOINTING

Nobody expected Microsoft to jump into console gaming. Even fewer naysayers thought they would still be doing it today. I was a Nintendo kid in my earliest years (perhaps explaining some pent-up aggression) when suddenly a little indie-game called Halo 2 took me in an all-new direction. It hasn’t been an entirely positive experience though… and here are seven examples. Continue reading 7 WAYS BEING A XBOX FAN HAS BEEN DISAPPOINTING

DISNEY INFINITY 3.0 – THE FORCE AWAKENS PLAY SET REVIEW

I HAVE A BAD FEELING ABOUT THIS…

Disney Infinity 3.0 surprised me when it released earlier this year, exceeding all of my expectations. The Twilight of the Republic Play Set was a genuinely great game based on Star Wars: The Clone Wars, while Rise Against the Empire provided a CliffNotes (yet authentic) take on the original trilogy. So how does their official adaptation of Star Wars: The Force Awakens fare? Fear not, no spoilers! Continue reading DISNEY INFINITY 3.0 – THE FORCE AWAKENS PLAY SET REVIEW

Game of Thrones: The Ice Dragon Review

“… OR YOU DIE”

The season finale to Telltale GamesGame of Thrones may seem like culmination of all choices players have made in the past five episodes, but the biggest impacts to the world are primarily based on the decisions made in the last. While the story ends a little sooner for some of the Forrester bloodline, for better or worse, it is certainly not complete for the players who have followed these characters through a six episode season.

Broad City Stars Step Into the World of Lara Croft for Rise of the Tomb Raider Commercial

When it comes to exploring the crazy and unique world of New York City, few shows do it as hilariously as Comedy Central’s Broad City.  The stars of the show, Abbi and Ilana, trade in the concrete jungle for icy terrain in the latest commercial for Rise of the Tomb Raider.

Jesse Webster’s Top 10 Xbox 360 Games of All Time

This week marks the tenth anniversary of the Xbox 360, Microsoft’s second system in the gaming industry. Say what you will about the Xbox 360 with its flaws like the infamous Red Ring of Death. I went through two systems. The Xbox 360 was a powerhouse for the last generation of gaming, and if it wasn’t for that system things like a friends list for online play and achievements wouldn’t be here today.
