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...
Cliffy B’s new studio, Boss Key Productions, has just been ousted. While we know the obvious culprit of Cliff himself and most likely his wife, Lauren, being on board the team, we won’t be hearing anything about anyone else who’s working with them for quite some time. We are able to infer quite a bit just by taking a look at Boss Key’s Twitter followers, though. Starting from oldest to newest, we have Cliff himself, followed by a regular civilian...
We’ve been playing Bungie’s latest and greatest for a week now. Curious as to whether it’s worth your time? Read ahead to find out… Four years. Four long years. It has been this long since we have had our hands on anything created by the masterminds at Bungie, who we haven’t seen come from their shell since the last great Halo, Halo: Reach, hit store shelves on September 14th, 2010. Since that day, many years ago, much has changed: Bungie has...
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...
BioWare’s Mass Effect trilogy is an epic space opera chronicling the adventures of Commander Shepard as she, or he, attempts to save humanity and the rest of the galaxy, from an ancient race of deadly synthetic lifeforms. Over the course of Shepard’s journey a fascinating group of individuals join the cause to save their worlds from a fate far worse than extermination. A few members of the LevelSave staff are big fans of the Mass Effect series and we thought...
It has been quite some time (well over a year) since the last F’in Saved. I thought I could bring it back from time to time as I had funny thoughts. This one came from a discussion the team had about spending money on Free-to-Play games. Turns out it is super easy to do on “accident.” Anyway, if you like this be sure to let us know in the comments.
With Dead Island: Epidemic, another franchise threw its hat into the multiplayer online battle arena and let the public watch as the non-disclosure agreement lifted on its Closed Beta earlier this month. Courtesy of Austin Griffith, I was able to get into the closed beta and spend some time with Dead Island: Epidemic, cutely abbreviated DI:E, and loved my zombie-filled island getaway. The competitive multiplayer formula in Dead Island: Epidemic is addicting. Dead Island:...
