A few days ago Microsoft became cool again with the many surprises unveiled at the Windows 10 Event. The biggest surprise was definitely the announcement of the Windows Holographic project, Microsoft HoloLens. Microsoft’s proprietary addition to the head-mounted display industry could prove to be a revolutionary step forward. The HoloLens is the culmination of Kinect-like voice commands, IllumiRoom-like projection, and Oculus-like head mounted-ness. With the...
Evolve is the upcoming multiplayer first person shooter title from Turtle Rock Studio, the team behind the Left 4 Dead series gamers have come to know and love. The premise is simple: four players or “hunters” are tasked with hunting down a huge disastrous monster before the player in charge of the monster eats enough wild life to become powerful enough to destroy the hunter’s base or kill all four hunters. It plays as a sort of backwards cat-and-mouse type...
This weeks 20 Questions will be with Dan Mitre (Community Manager Battlefield EA) @dan_mitre As I write this over 159,456 players are playing Battlefield 4 online, just about half the amount who bought the first console Battlefield back in 2005. Compare that to the 11.5 million copies of Battlefield 4 sold across the world you can see that the series has become a giant in the FPS world— if not the giant. While the Battlefield player count will always grow, is the...

…Nintendo has been unable to create a new product that surpasses what they did 13 years ago. Like many of you, we here at LevelSave were chomping at the bits to try out the next iteration in the Super Smash Brothers series. Finally having had some time with the game I noticed something quite peculiar about how important the controls are to the game, specifically the GameCube controller. Preordering the Super Smash Brothers for Wii U bundle that came with...
Let me start by saying that there are a lot of really good things about Destiny. I do like the game. I’ve hit level 20 and completed all of the story missions. I played a significant amount of the competitive multiplayer and even there the game is exceptionally good. The supercharged abilities add a nice wrinkle to competitive play especially in the objective mode Control, which is like Conquest in Battlefield. The game plays extremely well. The controls are tight and the...
This weekend, one of the biggest video game tournaments in the world took place. Evo 2014 was held at the West Gate Hotel, formerly known as the Las Vegas Hilton and located right next to the Las Vegas Convention Center. While the venue wasn’t exactly the greatest in comparison to that of its previous holders, the action that the tournament (and its participants) served up was. Evo is exclusively a fighting game tournament featuring the most popular fighters as its...
Gender equality controversy has once again struck the video game industry. This time Ubisoft has come under fire for what many believe are flimsy excuses regarding the absence of female character models in Ubisoft’s new Assassin’s Creed game, AC: Unity. The controversy began when Ubisoft creative director Alex Amancio intimated that female assassins were left out of the game due to “the reality of production.” “It’s double the animations, it’s...
The new generation of consoles is here and Sony has jumped out to an early lead. It’s clear that Microsoft has been feeling the pressure as sweeping changes were rolled out for Xbox Live and Kinect is going to be taken out of the box to lower the price to $399.99. I was looking forward to what Microsoft had in store for us in their E3 press conference and I was not disappointed. Phil Spencer came out at the beginning, with a short scripted thank you to the legion of Xbox...
Halo: The Master Chief collection was announced today for the Xbox One, featuring the original multiplayer for every Halo game running on its original Xbox on the Xbox One. We have to ask ourselves a question now: is it the right time for this? Halo as a multiplayer shooter is still a huge game on the Xbox 360, thousands of players play Halo 3, Halo 4, and Halo: Reach every day on the Xbox, and the communities there are still very much alive and well – what will happen...
