Review – New Super Mario Brothers 2 (3DS)

The Good It's Mario, it's pretty good in all the ways Mario is good. The return of the Raccoon Leaf, generally reminiscent of SMB 3 all around Build in mechanisms for if things get too tough The Bad It's Mario…  It's not a particularly original Mario either There are a few tricky points but not much is super difficult, which makes the game go by pretty quick The Coin Collecting aspect is interesting but serves little purpose In Depth If there's one consistency in Nintendo's world, it's Mario.  I'm not even going to attempt to figure out just how many…

Review – Battlefield 1 (PC, PS4, Xbox One)

2016 - EA DICE - Single Player/ Online Mutiplayer The Good Visuals are top notch and dense World evolves and changes as the battle continues Massive miltiplayer battles that really feel like a war. The Bad Dense visuals can be extremely confusing most of the time Leveling process is extremely slow Price (Game, Micro Transactions, DLC, etc) Note, I generally try to use my own screen shots but despite my best efforts with several tools, I couldn't get this game to TAKE screen shots.  Chock that into the negatives if you want.  These shots are pretty indicative of what things…

Review – Beyond: Two Souls (PS3)

2013 - Quantic Dream - 1 Player (ish) The Good Interesting and ambition idea and gameplay. Impressive graphics. Lots of choices that shape the story a bit. The Bad Convoluted story that doesn't leave a ton of questions but it's super great. Many Sequences are completely pointless and superfluous to the plot. The game's gimmick is neat but leaves a lot to be desired with it's limitations. tl;dr Sterilized Version Beyond: Two Souls is an interesting narrative game from Quantic Dream and David Cage that is similar to their previous titles such as Heavy Rain and Farenheit. It's much less…

Review – Shadow Complex (PC, PS4, Xbox One)

2009, 2015 - Chair - 1 Player The Good Metroidvania games are pretty much awesome by default. Interesting use of 2D and 3D Fun gameplay and puzzles The Bad Not a lot of enemy variety. Controls can be frustrating at times Bosses are kind of a joke tl;dr Review I, like many others I gather, often have a pile of games from bundles that never end up getting played.  Recently Shadow Complex appeared in a Humble Bundle and came recommended, so I opted to actually give it a shot.  I was really surprised just how good it ended up being.…

World of Warcraft – Part 28 – Warlords of Draenor, Kind of Already Boring…

I have a bit of a sad fact to throw out there… I’m a little tired of WoW.  The hype over Warlords has kind of worn off and what’s left is kind of a little dry.  Sure there are new Raids rolling out and all but I’m kind of satisfied with running them through once for the story and being done.  I ran Siege of Orgrimmar so damn much on that stupid Cloak quest line and I’m just so tired of that mess.  Not to mention that after doing a bit of ACTUAL raiding with a guild group, I’m no…
