My Thoughts on the Battleborn Beta
I played the recent Battleborn beta test and enjoyed the game. I put a large amount of time into the game, and the amount of suckage on my part while playing it was also large. But while I did suck at it – I called myself the MVP of Digital Crack as a joke – I came away from Battleborn feeling I had a very good experience overall. I should say first that I am not great at first-person shooters. I ...[Read More]
Salt and Sanctuary Review
Eight hours in, and my skull has been bashed in more times that I care to count. My latest death is at the hands of a the Kraeken Cyclops. He’s actually wiped the floor with my face thrice. I keep going back, because I will be DAMNED if that big, cleaver wielding Darkheart wanna-be gets the best of me! The game is Salt and Sanctuary. It has me in its grip, and I refuse to stop until I wrench mysel...[Read More]
Just Cause 3 Review
When the 2015 holiday release calendar for video games was finalized, I stared in awe at all the great titles that were scheduled to be released. One of them, however, kept staring back at me: Just Cause 3. It may seem odd that, in a season where Fallout 4, The Witcher 3, and Metal Gear Solid V are prominently featured, I would be staring so intently at a game some may consider to be second-tier n...[Read More]
Rise of the Tomb Raider Review
With Lara Croft making a triumphant return in 2013 with Crystal Dynamics’ reboot, we were eager to see how the new concept had evolved with Rise of the Tomb Raider. And while it is clear that the studio has taken in all the feedback from their previous effort, it’s also clear that this isn’t a dramatic departure in terms of concept and structure. At its core it’s an action-...[Read More]
Amplitude Review
Rhythm action games were once big business, with every man and his dog owning a copy of Guitar Hero in the mid-noughties. There was scarcely a party that didn’t involve epic battles fought using plastic peripherals and well-timed button presses. Guitar Hero won over critics and players alike and at one time it was more than just a game, it was a cultural institution seeing enough success to ...[Read More]
WWE 2K16 Review
Professional wrestling is a funny one: here’s a so-called sport that built its world on theatricality, on the showmanship of its acrobatic performers acting out massive fantasies of gladiatorial duels and overly dramatic contests. Aside from the occasional unfortunate mishap, no one is ever injured and it’s all tightly stage-managed. So how do you translate that all to the video game world? For 2K...[Read More]
The Witcher 3 Review
The Witcher 3: Witch Hunt feels like the next step in that evolution, and while not every part of the RPG comes together to satisfy all gamers, there’s enough here to see clearly where things are progressing. Available for the PS4, Xbox One and PC, Witcher 3 is still based largely on combat. But there’s a surprising level of complexity behind it, and you can go about each fight as you ...[Read More]
