Why it took so long to review The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

Editor’s Note: et’s be honest here, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt came out 2 months ago. Between that time and now, we had yet to release a review of how we felt of The Witcher Wild Hunt and why you should spend your hard earned money on it. It comes to question, how can you review a game that provides hundreds of hours of content and storyline a week before it comes out? It’s simple, you cannot. You can review the graphics, the musical score, the first...

E3 2015 Doom Reveal: What we know

Going into Bethesda’s press conference, it was both extremely easy and yet difficult to really gauge what the company’s vision of Doom was going to look like. On the one hand we did get a teaser trailer back in May giving a 10 second blink of what to expect. On the other hand, what was Doom going to be? Was it going to try and compete with the other FPS’s out there? Was it going to stick to the basics of what made Doom a cultural landmark in 1993? Well we...

Review: State of Decay: Year One Survival Edition

It’s amazing what a small team of developers and fans can do when they truly believe in a product or idea. Never was it more apparent to me than when I was first exposed to Undead Labs and “State of Decay: Year-One Survival Edition” at PAX East 2015.  Having never played the 2013 release on the Xbox 360, the entire concept of the game was first shown to me right on the show floor. The enthusiastic personal walkthrough I received from an Undead Labs representative was...

Review: Ori and the Blind Forest – A Tale of Beauty

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...

Review: Wolfenstein: The New Order – To The Moon

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...

Review: Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes – Short But Sweet

Originally thought to be the next full-length installment in Konami’s long running stealth-action franchise, Ground Zeroes has since been cut down to little more than one intense rescue mission. What you’ve heard of Ground Zeroes is very true, the main campaign will last you a little under three hours, with the side missions taking up to another hour to complete. Length isn’t a slight against Snake’s latest mission however, as Ground Zeroes acts like...
