Timothy Wedel gave us a great look into how PlayStation Now works (sometimes), and its an experience that mirrors my own when I gave it a go on the Vita. In short, it has a huge amount of potential and should evolve nicely as Sony continues to put development support into it. Right now, however, it’s not a pleasant experience the majority of the time. Sony put a lot of effort into the system in hopes of it serving as “backwards compatibility” for older...
Welcome to Checkpoint, a new regular segment from the authors here at LevelSave designed to quickly let you know what is on our minds, how we are reacting to current news and trends, and some looks into content coming soon from LevelSave.com.
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...
When EA and DICE revealed that their next entry in the Battlefield franchise would be set during World War I, I had mixed feelings. As a lover of history, the time period was instantly acceptable to me. WWI is a largely unexplored in the video game space, and I think most of that is due to the prevalence of World War II content being more of an inspiration thanks to the multitude of movies and television shows that portrayed it. I think its accurate to say that WWII is a...
(Author’s Note: All game play shown in this article is my own, captured on Xbox One, and shared via xboxdvr.com) Let’s be honest with each other for a moment. We’ve all played the Battlefield 1 Beta. Judging by internet reaction, captured metrics across all three release platforms, and YouTube saturation, everyone with thumbs that function normally gave Battlefield 1 a shot during the Beta test this past weekend.
are I started playing Tom Clancy games later than most of you did. It’s not that I didn’t like them or anything, it’s just that I was playing other things at the time and had not gotten around to anything in the franchise until four or five years ago. With the exception of the two Advance Warfighter games that I played at launch, I ended up getting most of what I missed on the Xbox 360 all at once and tore threw them in a marathon session. I really enjoyed...
exactly recall the last time I played in an open-world take on New York City. Sure, Grand Theft Auto IV had a really good-looking Liberty City as a clone, but not a re-creation. For me, it may actually go back to the second “True Crime” game, “Streets of NY.” It’s actually a bit surprising that an open-world game in NY hasn’t crossed my path in so long. It’s pop-culture’s most recognizable metropolis, after all. How did it...

Along with buying...
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...
