9.5Faster Than Light – A Fabulous Twist

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...

9.5Darksiders II – A Refreshing Change

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...

PAX: Hands on with Borderlands 2 – More gun than you can fathom

I have been looking forward to Borderlands 2 since Gearbox Software announced it was in development.  To say that I love Borderlands would be a colossal understatement.  I first bought the game for PC off of Steam and then later purchased it for my PS3.  I think Borderlands was brilliant at melding a hardcore RPG with an open world first person shooter.  It felt as good as any first person shooter of the tim, the upgrade tree was deep and the world of Pandora was a blast...

PAX : Hands on with XCOM: Enemy Unknown – Welcome to Erf

Strategy games? I freaking love them. I love the classic style of RTS games for sure, build your base, build units, destroy everything ever. Always a good time. XCOM : EU is not RTS though, it is turn based and fans love it. Instead of constructing a command center on each level, you build, create, customize, upgrade, and research from your XCOM headquarters. You’ll select which type of unit you’ll want to train/build. Then after that you’re able to name...

PAX: Dead Island Riptide Demo Impressions

It is no secret that I did not enjoy the first Dead Island. I felt mislead by the amazing advertisement and promise of an open world zombie game. What I received was a series of fetch quests that actually made me hate zombies for a time. If I was not reviewing the game I would have just set it down and probably never picked it back up again. However, what I saw of Dead Island Riptide was enough to make me consider picking the game up, even with the sour taste in my...
