Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare has bundles of the game for sale that include a remastered version of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. They dropped the 4 in the title of the new game for some reason, and released it as “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered.” I picked up one of the bundles that included the remaster and just finished a veteran run through it, so I think a mini-review may be warranted as a follow-up to my Infinite Warfare review. So what is included in...
Call of Duty is a series that seems to get less interesting every year in some way or another. When games as visually rich as these ones hit, you start to feel fatigued after a few years because they all end up looking the same. They look good… but they look the same. I don’t like to knock the visual presentation of games much because I think modern gaming has given us the best looking titles we could hope for. With games like Call of Duty being released annually...
In the 90s, I spent a lot of my weekends at my friend Derek’s house. He had very generous parents back then… generous enough to buy all the cool stuff I always wanted but never got. From the expensive Nerf guns, Power Ranger weapons, to the Pog collection in the neighborhood, It was easy to be jealous of the guy. For some time, the thing the other kids in the neighborhood envied the most was the Sony PlayStation. He was the first kind in town to get one, and we...
Ori and the Blind Forest is a rare treat, something we don’t much see in the game industry. Hailing as a metroid-vania style side scrolling platformer game, Ori puts you in control of, well, Ori. A white guardian spirit who has fallen from the spirit tree, Ori is accompanied by the Sein, the games equivalent to Zelda’s Navi. After starting up Ori, I was more drawn in to the games beautiful story then I have been with many other games, truthfully brought to...
The Shovel Knight, defeated by fate, has spent many years gardening in obscurity. During his absence the world has fallen into chaos. The land is rife with villains that need spaying and you’ve got just the tool for the job. So take up your shovel, knight, and scoop yourself out a steaming pile of justice.
The year is 1960, World War II has long been declared over, yet the world is strange. The world is not as we know it, however, as Nazi controlled Germany has been declared victorious. You are B.J. Blazcowicz, a few hours ago you were in a mental asylum – a place you’ve called home for the past six years, trapped in your own mind after nearly being killed by the leader of the Nazi army, General Deathshed. “What about the resistance?” you ask, grasping at any small...
This is our authentic, Nazi-controlled 1960’s Germany review of Wolfenstein: The New Order. To read it in English, please follow this link. Es ist das Jahr 1960 , Zweiter Weltkrieg schon lange beendet erklärt worden , doch die Welt ist seltsam. Die Welt ist nicht, wie wir es kennen, aber, wie Nazi- Deutschland kontrolliert wurde zum Sieger erklärt .

*Note: The game in question was reviewed with an Xbox 360 copy, other platforms including Xbox One, PC or PS4 may have varying distinctions related to the content provided, significant or not. Consider this a template of what to expect in all versions and use your best judgement. There comes a point in any video game franchise where the benchmark of what a game is capable has reached its game play denouement. It is a point where one entertains the thought, “This game...
While drafting this review I continually hit a wall in the form of the question “How do you review a game that is all about secrets?” Secrets, by their nature, are supposed to be hidden. So by explaining why Secrets of Rætikon is good I could easily ruin it. With that in mind, I have attempted to pen this review in a such a way as to withhold the secrets while also exploring the Secrets of Rætikon. Secrets of Rætikon places you in control of a man-bird-thing. You are...
The 16-bit side-scrolling mech shooter GIGANTIC ARMY came out on Steam on March 6 and feels like the arcade games I played more than 15 years ago. I would rather this game stay in the past with the other arcade games from that part of my life. GIGANTIC ARMY takes less than a hour to beat in a single run, and you have to beat it in one go. In the arcade game style you have four lives, including the one you start with, to make it through the game’s six levels. Which...
