Review: Tom Clancy’s The Division

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...

A quick take on Tom Clancy’s The Division Closed Beta

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...

9.5Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon – Mark IV Style

  Yeah, sure, Far Cry 3’s crazy drugbender island adventure was great, but where were the lasers? Blood Dragon answers this burning question. Blood Dragon is a fantastic homage to the campy sci-fi of the 80s and 90s, when the future was a neon apocalypse filled with robots and lasers. It’s overflowing with jokes and references spanning videogames, movies, and television. I’d love to say more, but half the fun of the jokes is in the surprise of their discovery, and...
