Well, Titanfall has finally launched and largely without any problems. Some may wonder why it’s a big deal or worth writing about. They are partly right, but let me explain why I think it is a big deal. Also, to my surprise of it being pulled off. Titanfall was a huge deal for Microsoft’s Xbox One and yes, I know it’s available on other platforms. Those platforms though, weren’t counting on Titanfall for that extra push. Titanfall was...
The latest scientific theories regarding our reality hypothesize that we aren’t real at all. In fact, we are likely holographic projected representations of data stored on a flat disc. I’m not saying that this is true, it’s just a theory. But this could be ‘just a theory’ in the same way that evolution is ‘just a theory,’ and evolution is a damn good one. For the sake of the rest of this article let’s assume that this theory is true. That we are, as the...
I summoned a phantom named SonFlower9. We strode into the Kiln of the First Flame, destroying Dark Souls’ toughest enemies with little effort. Before the gate of the final boss we both praised the sun and dove into Gywn’s domain. My wife shouted beside me with both encouragement and fretful cries. After a time it seemed we were winning, ever so little we were winning this fight. Suddenly my ghostly friend found himself stuck in a corner. The now heavily wounded...
Thanks to Bethesda, over the last month I’ve had the pleasure of entering the world of Tamriel for two weekends, through the Elder Scrolls Online beta of course. Many of the questions I had for ESO have been the same questions I’ve wondered of every MMO since my time in WoW and Aion. “Are there only fetch quests?” “Do the quests form boring and short story lines that don’t build upon the larger world” “Do I have to kill 3 dogs...
I remember watching my friend who introduced me to video gaming play the original Thief games, when I heard a new one would come out this year I could hardly wait. While my schedule has only permitted me the time to play a handful of hours of the game since its release February 25, I wanted to share my impression of Thief’s first few hours. When things go bad in Thief, the game shines. When a plan goes south, as mine often do, the game presents plenty of options. Between...
South Park: The Stick of Truth is now available on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC everywhere. While we’re sure you’ll be picking it up sometime soon, there are a few things you’re going to want to do before you get your hands dirty to maximize your enjoyment. If you’re still on the fence about it, be sure to read our review: South Park: The Stick of Truth – Dungeons and Douchebags. Change the Difficulty South Park: The Stick of Truth, while...
Ico is one of those games which is remembered fondly as a precursor to greater things. This game reminds me of others in that regard, making me think of Dark Cloud from Level 5, Metroid on NES, or any of a million firsts in a legacy. Granted, Team Ico’s catalog is much less full than either Level 5’s (a developer mostly known for their long, charming RPGs) or Samus’ titles. Nevertheless, I feel as if the two games they made have been so clearly different...
Early in 2010 I was living the normal teenage boy life: play Xbox every day, from the minute I got home from school until 9PM that night; weekends consisted of me and my friends staying up until 7 or 8 AM playing Call of Duty: World at War, Gears of War 2, Battlefield: Bad Company 2, and Halo 3. I was a nerd, a social shut-in, some might say I was a freak; I had more friends on my Xbox then I did at my school, and those friends that I did have I normally talked to more on...
Trying to get through Ryse on Legendary can be trying for a couple of reasons. A couple of things you depended on during other difficulty settings of the game will be diminished, like the extra execution bonuses and the red flare on an enemy right before a heavy attack. Not only that but, maybe while going through Ryse your first time you may have thought the combat was pretty well polished. Actually, it’s not bad, but the problems of it can become very clear during...
Well there are some certainly great remixes of some of our favorite gaming music out there, but nothing is as great as a good ol’ metal remix. While Chris, here at LevelSave, likes to find himself some techno/trance/dubstep remixes, I go for the metal \m/. Below are some of my favorite metal remixes of gaming music from NES to the latest gen. Go break something and enjoy yourself. Super Punch Out – Minor Circuit (SNES) by MattMagic I played the hell out of this...
