The Federation is losing the war against the rebels, and it’s up to your ship and small crew to deliver critical information to the waiting Federation fleet. (Help me Obi Wan Kenobi, you’re my only hope! Wait… Maybe I should have said Kirk.) Faster Than Light is a roguelike at heart, with procedurally generated environments and encounters. Gameplay focuses on exploration and ship-to-ship combat, and while it emphasizes tactics over hand speed, the action...
War stands accused of touching off the apocalypse ahead of schedule and thus causing the extinction of humanity. Death (not to be confused with Azrael, the angel of death, encountered in the first Darksiders game,) sets out to absolve his brother rider of his alleged crimes. Darksiders II takes place concurrent to the events of Darksiders, and gives the player a nice summary of the plot and setting established in the first. Gameplay in Darksiders II has a maturity of...
Who doesn’t love pinball? I mean seriously. This is a real question. Everyone loves it, it’s like pizza and don’t you dare say you don’t love pizza. Zen Pinball 2 just came to PS3 and Vita this week and it’s hella fun. Being able to play, not just pinball, but a great game of pinball everywhere is fantastic. It has cross-play, play multiplayer from your Vita or PS3. It has cross-purchase. Cross-purchase. Buy a table one time and have it on both...
As we all know the most recent piece of DLC has been released in the Mass Effect world. Leviathan promised to give us huge answers to questions we have been asking ourselves, each other and the developers since the 1st game launched and we were first introduced to the dreadful Reapers. Promised to us we the answers to such questions as where did the Reapers come from? What is the story behind their creation? As well as many others. I can tell you that as a massive Mass...
Have you ever wanted to shoot things from a space craft AND sing Call Me Maybe at the same time? It wasn’t until recently I found out I indeed HAVE had that need, which is why I am reviewing Symphony by Empty Clip Studios. Symphony took home two awards from the Indie Game Challenge, and from what I gathered from the one screenshot I saw, was that it was a game about music somehow, and looked like an arcade-style shooter – apparently I am a very good journalist. So I...
Hard Reset is a self-described old school sci-fi FPS. Set in the last human city of Bezoar, the player takes the role of a corporate soldier who must fight to keep the machines from assimilating the network which holds billions of digitized human minds. I had been expecting Hard Reset to be a twitch shooter, but was surprised to find that this is largely not the case. Most weapons in Hard Reset have very limited rates of fire, limited ranges, and cause splash damage...
While Nintendo had a great start with the original Nintendo 3DS, it had its problems. These problems included a very low battery life, the fact that those with big hands would experience cramping while playing their 3DS, and once people saw other portable screens on devices like the PlayStation Vita or even the Nintendo DSi XL, many people wanted larger screens. Out of nowhere this past June, Nintendo announced the Nintendo 3DS XL. This is more of a luxury product, not...
An old school-style isometric racing/vehicular shooter with badass controls and fast-paced, fun gameplay? Hell yes!
In a world of dull gray shooters and bland yearly releases, we see a lot of the same. Most shooters have you running around a map trying to kill as many enemies as you can, with very little strategy. Some games mix this up with a dedicated cover system – like Gears of War – that doesn’t effect to much of how you play. Hybrid, is, at its core a hybrid of todays current third persons shooters, with a hint of the classic strategy game Risk. Hybrid takes what Gears of War...
