Atomic Betty 01-06-17 05:07 PM |
Atomic Betty Atomic Betty is a Game Boy Advance title that is based on the cartoon which aired about the same time as this game's release in 2005. She is a 12 year old girl who leads a double life. She attends school, hangs out with friends, and does all the normal stuff a kid her age would, but she's also an interplanetary agent of the Galactic Guardians. Their mission is to keep peace in outer space, as well as uphold the law. This is a game intended for a young demographic, but I'm going to rate it as I would any other game. Now, let's get on to the actual review... [b] Graphics 7 / 10 [/b]-- The graphics are probably the best thing this game has going for it. By no means are they stellar (heh, that pun wasn't intentional), but they do fit the game well. It tries to mimic the art style of the show it's based on, and does a pretty good job of it. The bright colors and light-hearted style are perfect for the audience intended. The cut-scenes seem to use actual images from the series which is a nice touch, although the still frames with text underneath does feel a tad bit lacking. The sprite and environment animations are smooth, and everything used from the series is presented clearly. Although the visuals are styled well, I feel the system is capable of more, earning the Graphics a 7/10. [b] Sound 6 / 10 [/b]-- This is the next best thing this game has to offer. The title screen actually plays the theme song from the show, and surprisingly it doesn't sound half-bad. Other than that, the music is mostly generic. It uses tracks from the series in most of the levels, but none of them are really anything to write home about. They do at least set the mood as intended, but that's the bare minimum of what should be expected. A few of the boss battle tracks are pleasantly catchy though, which is something I liked. The sound effects are pretty standard, offering exactly what you'd expect for landing a hit or the explosion of a robot being destroyed. And ou... Read the rest of this Review |
ATV - Thunder Ridge Riders 12-15-16 03:57 AM |
Thunder Ri... It's Over Already?? ATV - Thunder Ridge Riders is a Game Boy Advance game about racing ATV's ( short for All Terrain Vehicles ) which are also sometimes referred to as "Quads." It is played from a First Person perspective, and there isn't any option to change that. It pits you against 3 other A-I controlled opponents and the first to finish, while making sure you reached every check-point, is decided the winner. Racing games of any kind aren't really my forte, so this review will probably be relatively short compared to most of my work. Anyways, let's get to it, shall we? [b] Graphics 6 / 10 [/b]-- The graphics in this game aren't all that great. My biggest complaint would be the environments. Things like bushes, cacti, or the hills you are traversing are extremely pixelated. This would be fine if I truly believed it was the most this system was capable of, but I would like to think the GBA can do better while they just didn't put in the effort. In retrospect I don't think I've ever seen something that was going for a 3D model look and still appear so flat. To be fair, the other racers, the main parts of track you're generally on, and the handlebars with your arms that show from the First-Person perspective all look pretty good. If it had that amount of detail put into everything, the graphics wouldn't have been nearly as disappointing. I'd feel guilty going any higher, so the Graphics get a 6/10. [b] Sound 5 / 10 [/b]-- The sound is even worse than the graphics. The sound track is very mediocre rock style music, featuring electric guitars, drums and probably a bass. Sadly due to the limited audio capabilities of the GBA, it doesn't sound all that great. It's similar to listening to an mp3 file that was put on the lowest possible quality setting when it was uploaded. Even more of a nuisance than that, the sound effects are used obnoxiously. They sound fine, but between the approving "ding" for passing each check-point, and the sound of the ATV's always running engine ... Read the rest of this Review |
Sakura Clicker 10-13-16 08:07 PM |
Sakura Clicker - Hot Clicker Action Sakura Clicker is a Steam game that falls in to the category of basically being fan service. The Sakura franchise is well known for doing this, though usually in the form of slightly interactive visual novels, this game follows that same formula but in the form of a "Clicker" genre game. If attractive Anime girls aren't really your thing, then this probably isn't the game for you. Anyways, on to the review! [b] Graphics 9 / 10 [/b]-- The graphics in this game are gorgeous. To be entirely fair, almost every single piece of art in the game is just drawn or computer generated still pictures, but none the less they are of extremely high quality. Every thing the game presents visually is colorful, detailed, and has a high resolution. This includes the characters, enemies, environments, and even the gold coins dropped from each defeated opponent. All of your characters are depicted as little anime stills on the one side of the screen which contains all of your menus, and they present a much more simplistic style to them, which is a nice off-set to the high quality of the enemies. Even the artwork used for the player's and allies' abilities is beautifully animated. The visuals are border line perfect for what they were trying to accomplish, earning the Graphics a 9/10. [b] Sound 4 / 10 [/b]-- Here's probably my biggest problem with the game. On the plus side, the music is great. It has a nice action-adventure feel to it, providing an excellent level of tension. I was very pleasantly surprised with how nice it actually is to listen to the music while playing the game. On the down side, the voices used are just incredibly annoying. It's more or less just girls speaking in Japanese ( I think ? ), and tons of erotic moans and / or grunts when you click on them to do damage. And they do it with every single click. So when you have to click a good 75 times to kill a single opponent, you're going to hear A LOT of it. Thankfully the game as an option to turn off ... Read the rest of this Review |
Grey Cubes 10-13-16 12:05 AM |
Grey Cubes - Cubes That Are Grey Grey Cubes is another incarnation of the classic game genre of Brick Breaker. It is offered on Steam, and judging by the User Interface as well as the controls, is probably compatible with mobile devices as well. The game has some classic features of the genre, such as power ups and down grades to collect as you break the bricks ( or cubes, if you will ), but also adds some new mechanics to keep things fresh. For those who aren't familiar, Brick Breaker is the type of game where you control a pad at the bottom of the screen, and you use it to bounce a ball upward in to a designated area, the goal being to destroy every brick in said area by hitting it with the ball. You can use the pad to determine the trajectory of the ball, and certain bricks can be more difficult to destroy than others. Any ways, on to the review! [b] Graphics 7 / 10 [/b]-- First things first, the graphics in this game are by no means mind blowing. Though that said, they look pretty good for what the game was trying to accomplish. The ball has a nice glimmer to it, leaving a trail of light behind it as it moves across the screen. The 3-Dimensional aspect in the game is beautiful, as each different cube is displayed brilliantly as they some times move or tumble. The lighting effects are also nicely done, providing a good deal of detail in the few shadows that are present, as well as the many sources of light. On the down side, the game is some what bland visually, as indicated by the color in the title. There is virtually no color, excluding shades of blue, grey, and also red which is used exclusively for the down grades. I chose to give the Graphics a 7/10, if only for presentation. [b] Sound 5 / 10 [/b]-- Sadly, this is probably where the game is most lacking. The game features a very futuristic feel to it, in both effects and music. The effects are very lack luster and the noise for when the ball makes contact with a cube is a little too high pitched for my tastes. It got some... Read the rest of this Review |
Shmadow 10-06-16 10:13 PM |
Shmadow - Not A Typo Shmadow is a 2D shooter that's based entirely on the concept of light shining through darkness. It's featured on Steam, and carries a very low price tag. The way the game works is that you're a ball of light, and light emits from the pellets you shoot, as well as yourself. Everything else is shrouded in darkness, and there are also little balls of darkness that fly past from one direction that harm you. You can fire in any given direction, as well as maneuver across the entire game screen, as the game is based on dodging while focusing your fire where it need be. Anyway, on to the review! [b]Graphics 6/10[/b] -- The Graphics presented are extremely simplistic, but I do love the concept behind them. Shading is a huge factor in the visuals here, as light vs darkness seems to be the general theme of the game. Not only do you and your ammo emit light, but to a lesser degree the opposing blobs of darkness also emit your counterpart. As you take damage, the ball of light that you are will shrink a little with each hit, resulting in less light being emitted. Boss enemies and their shots fired take on a solid color such as Red, Yellow, or Purple, and can be seen over the darkness entirely. Although the style is very basic, the presentation at the very least deserves some praise. I'm giving the Graphics a 6/10. [b]Sound 4/10[/b] -- Sadly, this area of the game is quite lacking. There are virtually no sound effects whatsoever. Be it the shooting, destroying an enemy, or a boss' actions, none of them have any sound to indicate it is taking place. On the bright side, the game does feature music. Sadly, it's only one track that plays on repeat. To be fair, it's a very long track that doesn't eat away at your sanity or anything like that, but the lack of variety is definitely a down-side. Ideally, it's best to either have the music playing softly in the background, or just listen to some thing of your choosing from external sources while playing the game. The la...

Radium 10-06-16 08:08 PM |
Radium - Timed Magnetic Physics Radium is a game completely unique in how it functions. The game is featured on Steam, but is also designed for mobile devices as well. The premise is very simple. Move the ball through the course to the goal. Sounds easy enough, right? Well, there's always a catch. The way to move the ball is by using two stationary magnetic objects on each side of the screen, and some times you must maneuver through obstacles to do so. Still not interested yet? Well, we'll get you there. On to the review! [b]Graphics 4/10[/b] -- The graphics for this game are about as basic as they can possibly get. Each level consists of a black background, which specifies the borders of where the ball is able to move around inside. The course to move through is gray, which generally makes up the tubes and chambers in which the ball will pass through. The magnets, ball, and "finish line" ( it's really just a circle you have to get inside ) are all either Green or Yellow, depending on the level. Anytime you activate either of the magnets, a line of the currently used color will tether to the ball showing it's in use. Outside of this, there really is nothing presented visually, other than some of the various obstacles and switches, which fall in to the previous categories in one way or another. Since it fits the style of the game, it gets a 4/10. [b]Sound 3/10[/b] -- Another area in which the game is lacking heavily. First of all, there is absolutely zero music that plays through out the entire game. Nothing. In a way this may be an upside, as this kind of game is probably better off without, allowing you to listen to whatever music or external audio you so choose. The sound effects are hardly worth mentioning, but here goes. They might as well be completely absent as is the music. You have a few little "boings" from a spring or some thing to signify a boost in momentum, but beyond those extremely simplistic effects, there's nothing special in this department either. The Sound, or... Read the rest of this Review |
Island Defense 10-06-16 04:04 PM |
Island Defense - Tower Defense With Heroes! Island Defense is a Tower Defense game on Steam. Judging by the User Interface, it's probably designed for mobile devices as well. The game follows your standard T-D formula, but with a few added game play mechanics to help make it some what unique. The biggest addition to this classic concept is Heroes you can hire, controlling them to utilize their combat abilities and skills, and use experience gained from downing opponents to upgrade their skills and stats. I'll go in to more details on that and more later, so on to the review! [b]Graphics 9/10[/b] -- Now, I'll admit the Graphics are not exactly what you would call "top of the line." That being said, they look great for the style the developers were going for. Every thing has a very bright, colorful, and cartoon-like feel to them, The heroes / enemies look great, having tons of detail, and probably had the most effort put into them. The Towers used, which are some times living units in a bunker, look good and their attacks are well drawn. All of the animations look more so like a flash game with the most polish and fluidity possible, but that just adds to the light-hearted and cartoon-ish feel the game has. I wouldn't say any of the visuals are mind-blowing by any means, but they look great for the atmosphere intended. For style and presentation, the Graphics get a 9/10. [b]Sound 7/10[/b] -- The game's Sound is overall pretty average, but it does do every thing it should well enough. The music has an Action / Adventure feel to it, providing the correct level of intensity and the right vibe the game is going for. Sadly, the music is lowered in volume while enemies are advancing down the path, while the sound effects remain unaffected. This kind of takes away from the experience slightly, since the sound effects can become rather repetitive in only a short while. On the bright side, there are different tracks, albeit very subtle changes in tone, as the game progresses. The sound effects are exact... Read the rest of this Review |
Turbo Pug 10-04-16 08:23 PM |
Turbo Pug - Endless Runner Fun Turbo Pug is a Steam game that takes gaming back to it's most basic roots. For those who aren't familiar, an Endless Runner game is a side-scroller that goes on forever until your character succumbs to the many obstacles along the path. Most of these have a consistent pace with increasing amounts of death traps, ones that gradually increase in speed, and sometimes both. The game has no story or plot, other than guiding your Pug (or Cat / Penguin / etc) as far as you can before they inevitably die before your eyes. Not much else I can say for the overview, so on to the review! Graphics 8/10 -- Okay, I'll admit my score is probably a little generous here. I'm basing this on the look they were going for, more so than what today's technology is capable of (I can't be the only fan of retro visuals, ya know?). The graphics have a very 8 / 16 bit feel to them, with the characters being obviously rendered by pixel blocks. The environments have the same old school feel to them as the characters, though in my opinion it feels just slightly more modern. The actual background image is constantly scrolling slowly as your character progresses, and can vary somewhat in what is shown, such as forests or mountains off in the distance. One of the best things about this game is the varying characters you can choose, and their different humorous visual aspects. My personal favorite is the Space Cat, which is a cat with an astronauts helmet on it's head. Though the Graphics are nothing special, they look great for what the game tries to accomplish, earning a solid 8/10. Sound 6/10 -- Again, this score may be a little high, but there's a good reason for me giving it what I am. The track that plays in the background while you are constantly staying vigilant in your attempts to keep your furry friend alive is near perfect for what this game is. The track is very upbeat and pleasant, but never to the point it becomes stuck in your head driving you insane and becoming bothe... Read the rest of this Review |
Grand Theft Auto V 07-28-16 12:04 AM |
Grand Theft Auto V - So Fun It Should Be Illegal Grand Theft Auto 5 is the latest release of Rockstar's most well known franchise. Instead of focusing on a single character for the entire story, there are 3 playable characters you can switch between at any given time, even in the middle of a high octane gun fight. Each character has things they excel at more so than the others, but with enough practice, they can all be balanced out pretty well as you increase your stats. This game probably has the largest map to date in a Grand Theft Auto title, and the most things to do as well. The depth of this game is literally epic, and I mean that by the true definition of the word. I really can't praise this game enough, as it took every thing the franchise stood for, and improved upon it in every possible way. It even features a fun multi-player mode, where you can pull heists / missions with other users online, or just go around blowing things, or other users not currently participating in a mission / heist, to pieces. Ok, that's enough rambling for now. On to the review! Graphics 9 / 10 -- Every thing in the game looks fantastic, especially considering just how much content is packed in to it. I'm actually amazed every thing looked as good as it does considering the level of depth involved. All of the characters look realistic, down to their facial expressions. All of the many customization options available for each character have an incredible amount of detail, down to each individual tattoo or hair cut they can get. Even the wrinkles of every possible outfit look great, as well as the glimmer of their worn jewelry, or "bling" if you will. All of the characters involved in the story, no matter how small their part, also have the same level of detail put in to them. Even the random people who litter the streets look pretty darn good for the insignificant cannon fodder they'll probably end up turning in to. The environments are all rendered beautifully, my favorite thing being how the sun glistens in the ba... Read the rest of this Review |
Doom 3 BFG Edition 07-26-16 02:45 PM |
Doom 3 BFG Edition Doom 3 BFG Edition for the PS3 is one of the best First Person Shooter titles I've played to date. Every thing that this game offers is very well done, and any fan of the genre should be able to find plenty in this title to appreciate. All of the combat is fast, suspenseful, and rewards precision in both your skill for aiming, as well as maneuverability. The enemies in the game are all designed really well, and the capabilities they have balance out the difficulty extremely well. The game also provides a near perfect balance of suspense, jump scares, and ambiance to always keep you on the edge of your seat waiting for what could possibly happen next. Unlike the original release of Doom 3, the BFG Edition also features a flash light built into your armor, meaning you don't need to equip your flash light like you would a weapon to see in the dark ( and you use the flash light A LOT in this game lol ). The game features online multi-player, as well as also including the original Doom and Doom 2 titles that made the franchise so iconic in the world of gaming. It also comes with two different forms of DLC, which include The Lost Mission ( an alternative story that takes place in the same world, only just before and / or during the actual campaign ) and Resurrection of Evil ( which is almost like a mini-sequel that wraps up every thing the original campaign did not quite bring to a close ). Enough rambling, on to the review! Graphics 9 / 10 -- Thankfully, the BFG Edition took every thing that was great about the original title, and improved on it immensely. All of the textures and effects in the game have been completely polished and remastered for this version, and every thing looks fantastic. My one complaint here would be that the ( human ) characters don't quite have the same realistic look that the foes in the game do, but seeing how they only appear in short cut scenes that don't occur all that often, it's something that can be easily over looked. On the br... Read the rest of this Review |
Evil Within, The 07-20-16 09:51 PM |
The Evil Within - Epic Survival Horror The Evil Within is a Survival Horror / Action / Stealth game with some Puzzle-Solving elements mixed in as well. This is one of the most over all dark and twisted games I've ever seen, and will probably creep you out just as much. It also features a huge psychological element to it, as the character in the game's perception of reality is constantly distorted and shifting around him. Insanity is a big theme to this game, and the way it's presented is absolutely beautiful to someone like myself who enjoys these things. Staying true to the Survival Horror theme, in most cases you think you should run from an enemy, chances are you actually have to run from them since what ever "thing" is chasing you is actually immortal / invulnerable, at least in that situation. The game really brings a great deal of suspense and dread along with playing it, something that the genre has seemed to lack lately, at least among mainstream titles. For once in the genre, the game doesn't entirely rely upon "jump scares" to keep you on the edge of your seat, which is something I always appreciate.I honestly thought this game did everything it tried to do extremely well, and every fan of all things scary and / or gruesome should really give this game a chance. Enough ranting, on to the review! Graphics 10 / 10 -- Everything in the game is absolutely gorgeous, in it's own dark and twisted way of course. Every thing in the game looks as realistic as you could possibly hope for on the PS3, down to each little gory detail. There's one part of the game where you must use lobotomy-type needles to pierce sections of the brain on a head sitting on a table all while the head still appears to be alive, and it even screams at you when piercing certain sections ( hitting certain sections is part of solving a puzzle to progress ) . Every wrinkle of the brain, as well as the rest of the head including every facial feature look fantastic. You can even see it's eyes move, as well as it's faci... Read the rest of this Review |
Dante's Inferno 07-19-16 11:44 PM |
Dante's Inferno - One Heck Of A Ride Dante's Inferno is a beat'em up / hack n slash game that resembles titles such as Devil May Cry, God of War, or the more modern releases of Castlevania. The game's setting is the Nine Circles of Hell, in which you must pass through them all to save your beloved's soul. Dante was a soldier in the crusades, and having survived the entire expedition, is also a very skilled warrior. You will see all kinds of mythological beasts and creatures that are said to roam the depths of hell, and slay all who get in your way. Some of these beats may even be manipulated into doing your bidding, if they are put in the position of fearing you more than their former master. There are even some very influential figures from the world's history who make an appearance, and are believed to reside there for their sins in life. At it's core, the game is very fast paced, and will always keep you on your guard. Anyways, on to the review! Graphics 9 / 10 -- Everything in the game is breathtaking. I'm a huge fan of games that make the most of a dark and gruesome theme, and this game does it extremely well. All of the effects used in combat look great, one of my favorites being the cross shaped projectiles you can launch at your enemies. Dante looks great, even down to the string used to hold the leather cross he sewed on to his torso in place. Even the individual bones on his scythe look very distinguished and detailed. The enemies are just as menacing, and you can see every detail on the minions of hell in perfect clarity. Even the color of their eyes can be seen clearly when they're not moving around too quickly trying to tear you to pieces. The bosses look amazing, and strike fear and / or bewilderment into you when seen up close. The environments are gorgeous, and give a perfect depiction of what most people would imagine Hell to be like. I loved the fact that each of the Nine Circles had it's own unique environment that was based on the theme for that Circle ( each circ... Read the rest of this Review |
Pokemon Stadium 07-18-16 09:37 PM |
Pokemon Stadium Pokémon Stadium was released for the Nintendo 64 not too long after the original Game Boy titles hit the market. It offered the exact same style of battling, but with 3D rendered Pokémon as well as animations for their attacks. The game features all 150 of the original Pokémon, and even features some real voice acting for announcers that do commentary during the battles. There's a couple handful of mini-games to play, and the game also supports local multi-player. It even has a device that plugs into your controller, and you can upload your Game Boy Pokémon team into the game to use for battles on the Nintendo 64! This game was amazing for it's time, and is still super fun to play to this day. Anyways, on to the review! Graphics 9 / 10 -- The graphics in the game are really well done. Every single Pokémon is colorful, full of detail, and look exactly as they should. Everything from their size to their color scheme looks spot on, and it honestly couldn't have been done any better. One of my favorite examples here would be Zapdos. Every detail on the Legendary Bird from it's beak and eyes, to each ridge on his yellow and black layered wings looks fantastic. The arenas they battle in look great, and remind you of what kind of "Stadium" you would see Ash from the anime battle in. There's a Gym Leader Castle Mode (more on that later) and the arenas there look especially phenomenal. Even the mini-games look superb in every way. One of these mini-games is a bunch of Lickitung must run around trying to eat food from a circular conveyor belt, pushing each other out of the way, and even the small plates of food themselves look incredibly detailed and easily identifiable (if you recognize Japanese cuisine, that is). There are also animations for all of attacks the Pokémon use in battle, and most of them are incredible. I'm amazed that every single individual Pokémon has their own animations, even having a few variations of said anima... Read the rest of this Review |
Legend of Zelda, The - Majora's Mask 07-16-16 02:49 AM |
Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask Legend of Zelda : Majora's Mask is one of the best titles in the entire Zelda franchise. It brings to the table the incredible puzzle solving, revolutionary Z targeting, and action-adventure we all loved in this series on the Nintendo 64. Majora's Mask is the sequel to Ocarina of Time, taking place when Link sets off to find a special friend who left his side after the end of the previous title. Despite the risk of never returning, he enters the Lost Woods to find them. They're called the Lost Woods for good reason, and even the Hero of Time would have trouble finding his way back... There he meets a special imp, and ends up in the parallel world of Termina. Although it is a separate world entirely, the people resemble those of Hyrule, very close to a multiverse (and possibly that exactly) of Hyrule itself. The game features much darker themes than it's predecessor, and an entirely different concept of how time affects the game and everything in it. In fact, using time to your advantage is one of the few themes Majora's Mask and Ocarina of Time share in terms of plot devices. It's hard to explain the brilliance of the time mechanics in the game without revealing any spoilers, but I'll do my best. In most games like this, nothing happens / changes until your character interacts with the world, but this game's world is alive regardless of what you do. Without your character interacting with anyone or anything, a woman will get mugged at night, a talking monkey will be executed, and the other characters will continue going about their daily lives. No matter what you may or may not do, the world around you will continue to go about it's course, which is a brilliant concept for the time this game was released. The world of Termina itself is different from Hyrule in quite a few ways. First their mythology is different, believing in 4 giant guardians instead of the three goddesses. The map has the city of Clock Town at the center, surrounded in every dire... Read the rest of this Review |
Star Ocean: The Last Hope International 07-13-16 04:23 PM |
Star Ocean - The Last Hope International Star Ocean - The Last Hope International is a JRPG for the PlayStation 3 that is above average in most ways. It features real-time combat in a good sized battlefield that is separate from the field. Most of the characters have your general RPG archetypes for the most part. The story is all about you trying to save the world or universe from destruction which is pretty standard for the genre. Pretty much every thing about the game is good. Though it does have a few more positive notes than bad ones, certain things can feel a little too tried and true at times. There's not enough to really make the title stand out in any way, but there's not much that really takes away from the experience either. With the game being an International version, it has a lot of the original Japanese content included with the English release. Anyways, on to the review! Graphics 9 / 10 -- There's not much of anything that could make the graphics better in any way. Everything is done in a very realistic cel shaded like style. It combines the best of both worlds, with the cel shading providing a fun and whimsical feeling to the game, but still keeps everything looking very detailed and real. All of the character designs are beautiful and colorful, as well as all of the individual enemies being on the same level of quality. Even the most basic of grunts through out the game look phenomenal in terms of detail and design. The bosses are generally huge, intimidating, colorful, and all around look great, most of them being large monsters or machines. The environments are gorgeous, and due to the progression of the game, you get to see just about every type of landscape you could imagine. The forests are lush, green and colorful, the desert sands look amazing, mountainous terrain has detail in every stone, and the water on a beach looks spectacular. Even all the indoor environments, such as a castle or ancient ruins look incredible, providing a great deal of detail into every single brick ... Read the rest of this Review |
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim 07-11-16 05:10 AM |
Skyrim - A Massive Adventure The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is one of the biggest games ever made. The world map is literally epic, and there's almost just as much area to cover inside caves, dungeons, buildings, and towns. The game play is extremely open in not only your style of play, but also in the choices you are able to make, as well as being able to explore the entire world freely. This game is regarded by many to be among the best games ever made, but that really depends if you like what the game is all about. If you're really into the whole questing, looting, dungeons, dragons, and action-rpg genre as a whole, chances are you'll really like this title. Not only that, but in terms of raw content this game is Massive, and can keep you entertained for a very long time. Anyways, on to the criteria! Graphics 7 / 10 -- The graphics in this game are mediocre at best. Considering the generation, the visuals could have had a lot more detail, not only in texture, but also in their shape and sharpness. Some things like plants, rocks, grass and the like can have extremely low quality textures, especially when the system is struggling to keep up with rendering the environment. My score would've actually been lower if not for the fact that these graphics were probably about the best they could do with just how much content is packed into the game. The characters and enemies look good for the most part, providing enough detail to see facial features as well the lines for muscles or bone. Also the inventory features a 3D picture for each item, and they look pretty good for the most part. The weapons specifically look particularly good, and have a ton of detail put into the design. The spells and their visuals are pretty sub-par. For instance, when casting Fire, which is just a continuous stream of fire that flows from your hand, it really doesn't look all that realistic. It's more like just a cone of colors that resemble fire more than anything. The dragon's look great for the most part, and the... Read the rest of this Review |
Resident Evil 4 07-09-16 04:41 PM |
Resident Evil 4 - Amazing Resident Evil 4 is regarded as one of the best games of all time, even to this day. It's a masterpiece, in my eyes anyway, that combines a great story and characters, fun, fast paced combat extremely intuitive for it's time, and just the right amount of fear for survival, albeit in a different way from the rest of the franchise. Another new aspect to this entry was the over-the-shoulder style of play, which was among the first, if not the first, to make this style as popular as it is today in third person shooters of many genres. The entire point of the game is being sent on rescue mission, so for a good third of the game, you must baby-sit them along the way, though it's not nearly as tedious as that makes it sound. This was the first Resident Evil title to differ from their original formula, in the core games of the franchise at least (there was a god awful First Person Shooter for the PSX). Anyways, on to the review! Graphics 10 / 10 -- The graphics are extremely solid. I really enjoyed everything they did with the visuals, down to the littlest of details. The characters look phenomenal, from their appearance to the flow of their clothes while running. Even Leon's hair has some pretty darn good physics for it's day. All of the enemies look great, even though they're not technically zombies anymore. When they get in close, you can really see how lifeless in their eyes they look, yet also the anger in their face while trying to kill you. Sometimes they end up carrying torches to swing at you, among other weapons, and the details put into any form of fire in this game look breathtaking for the generation. All of the bosses look great, really striking fear into you, and each in their own way, showing how strong and intimidating they are. The design for all the bosses is great too, since most of them really give you that gross and creepy feeling that the franchise is so well known for. They all give you that amazing sensation of "I'm locked in here wit... Read the rest of this Review |
DmC: Devil May Cry 07-08-16 04:22 AM |
DmC Devil May Cry - The Reboot DmC Devil May Cry is a title for the PS3 and X360, which is supposed to be a reboot of the franchise many of us have come to love. This love lead me to write this review, however this time it will not be all flowers and candy like most of mine, as I generally only do games I truly love. I personally did not care for the direction they took Dante, nor did I like how they changed his back story. Overall I wasn't a huge fan of this game, and it left me wanting more in quite a few ways. But... Enough talk, time to review! Graphics 8 / 10 -- There's really not much to complain about here. Though the design has a slightly more light-hearted feel to it, the overall theme is still as dark as always known in the franchise. The way they depict Limbo, the demon realm on a parallel plane to our own, is actually pretty neat. It's like our own world, but distorted in numerous ways. For instance, the structures and land around you will twist and contort, creating the playing field for your battles with enemies, and also creating a platformer element for the game. In terms of design, the enemies look great, as well as the rest of the cast I haven't already ranted about. Dante's brother Virgil is probably the best designed character of the game, which is not a good sign when the main playable character isn't the best in this regard. The bosses are all phenomenal, especially how much gross detail went into the succubus you must fight. Everything visually looks fantastic, whether I like the direction they took in some aspects or not. Sound 8 / 10 -- Again, not much to complain about here. Overall, the soundtracks are fitting, and keep you good and pumped for the fights you take part in, as well as the intense cut scenes. I like the eerie feel many of the tracks have when exploring Limbo outside of combat, giving you the right feeling for being in a realm infested and controlled by demons out to kill you. The voice acting is well done. All the characters sound spot on... Read the rest of this Review |
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 07-08-16 03:01 AM |
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater - The First of the Franchise Tony Hawk's Pro Skater is an amazing Skateboarding game for the PSX. As far as I know, this is the game that brought a large amount of attention to the skateboarding world for gamers, and really brought skateboarding into the limelight for the video game industry. Tony Hawk is a household name, and really the first legend to bring skateboarding widespread recognition. This game not only offers extremely fun game play, but somehow gives you fun objectives to complete while doing what it is you do. Anyways, on to the review! Graphics 8 / 10 -- The graphics are overall pretty well done. The character's bodies are actually proportionate and not extremely block-like, which is pretty remarkable for the time. Though not crystal clear, you can see some detail on each of their faces as well. One of the best looking things in the game are the selection of decks you can buy (these are the artwork for the underside of the board). Even while twirling out the famous 900 Tony broke the record with at the time, the artwork on the board looks great. The environments look great down to the decals and graffiti on the walls. There are even some scenarios where you can break glass or create sparks while grinding, and they look great for it's day. Sound 9 / 10 -- I love the audio this game features. All of the actual board's sound effects are perfect, be it grinding, landing, or falling flat on your face. A nice touch is when navigating through the menus, it makes these same sound effects for each movement instead of your stock menu effects. When the characters fall or hurt themselves, the way they cry out in pain is hilarious. At first, it's not unusual to make them wreck as hard as you can just to hear it a few times lol. The true gem of the audio here is the soundtrack. It has true to life music, vocals and all, from bands that many who like punk-rock will love. The song choices were phenomenal. My only gripe here is there's only 10 tracks to choose from, so they ca... Read the rest of this Review |
Devil May Cry: HD Collection 07-07-16 02:59 PM |
Devil May Cry - HD Collection (Games 1, 2, and 3) Devil May Cry HD Collection is an HD Remaster of the first three games of the franchise all originally released for the PlayStation 2. Devil May Cry is generally regarded from what I've seen among some of the best hack'n'slash games out there, and is definitely a personal favorite. The game also features some platforming elements, and they will require a moderate amount of skill to get through. Though none of it is actual game play, this version comes with quite a bit of bonus content not found on the original releases. If you love slashing and shooting your way through foe after foe, and being awarded for doing it stylishly, then this game is definitely for you. It also helps the humor in these games isn't bad either for the most part, though some of the puns are just a little too cheesy. Anyways, on to the review! Graphics -- 8 / 10 -- Though it does vary a little from title to title, the graphics overall are pretty well done. Each title was released further into the PlayStation 2's lifespan, so what they were capable of was also increasing in terms of the visuals. The enemy designs are great, providing something unique and very detailed, especially the bosses. The basic enemies are marionettes, and move like they are being controlled by strings like the real thing. One of the best looking enemies are grim reaper / witch like looking enemies that wield giant scissors, and they are gorgeous (in terms of graphics, they're actually quite ugly lol). They have something of an ethereal feel to their black bodies / cloaks, and the way it flows behind them is beautiful. In number 2, there are tanks that have been consumed by some organic flesh-like substance, which also look amazing. My favorite enemy of all three games would have to be Virgil in number 3, Dante's twin brother. The way he wields his katana in battle is breathtaking for what the PS2 could handle. Your character also has a Devil Form (being that he's a half-blooded devil and all), which looks phen... Read the rest of this Review |
Last of Us: Remastered, The 07-07-16 07:58 AM |
The Last Of Us - PS4 Remastered Edition The Last Of Us is a post-apocalyptic stealth action-survival game brought to you by Naughty Dog. This is by far my most favorite game of all time. The story is beyond amazing, the characters are among the best ever created, and the stealth / action in the game is superb. The game won over 200 game of the year awards, which is no small feat. The zombie apocalypse as we all know has been a concept tried time and again, yet they manage to keep it fresh, not only in the story, but in how the "zombies" (if you can call them that) are developed. The plague is actually caused by a fungus-like infection, which is spread through spores that grow inside the body and travel through the bloodstream (and into their saliva, hence the spread through biting). When a "zombie" is killed, the spores continue to grow, and eventually burst, releasing tons of smaller spores into the air, which can cause infection through inhalation. Not only that, but the spores grow most quickly in the brain, which in turn causes the infected's rage and hostility towards others (you see, they're never actually dead at any point, so zombie isn't exactly the right word). Over time, the spores grow over the face, and eventually the entire body, which is what causes a Clicker's face to look the way it does. Okay, enough rambling about the uniqueness of this apocalypse, on to the review! Graphics 10 / 10 -- The visuals are absolutely stunning. You really can't ask for more than what is presented here, as everything is delivered with such precision it's staggering. At one point your character must walk under some water streaming down, and it looks gorgeous. Not only do the physics of the water flow perfectly, but even the detail in how your character's clothes appear wet are incredible. Another thing of note here is the character's themselves. Joel, Ellie, and the rest of the main cast look fantastic, all showing great detail in not only their design, but also when they speak, show emotion, or ... Read the rest of this Review |
Final Fantasy XIII-2 07-06-16 01:48 AM |
Final Fantasy XIII-2 - A Little Different Final Fantasy XIII-2 is another JRPG created by Square Enix, and is the direct sequel to FF13. It still features the paradigm battle system of 13, though it does have a new twist. Instead of having 3 party members, and multiple characters to choose from, you have 2 set party members, and can catch monsters to fight for you as the 3rd member. The game follows something of a Time Traveller theme, though it's still done in a way that's not overly played out. Like many sequels, I don't believe it lives up to the first, but it's still a pretty good title nonetheless. This is only the second installment of the franchise to be a direct sequel. But enough rambling, on to the review! Graphics 10 / 10 -- The graphics of this game are as beautiful as you could possibly imagine. The characters look incredibly realistic, regardless of their unrealistic design (we all know Final Fantasy can be a little over the top). The detail in this game is so great, it's pretty hard to even tell the difference between the actual game play and the FMVs it features. The spells and attacks in the game look phenomenal and could not have been done any better, period. Every detail this game has down to the smallest blade of grass is just simply breathtaking. There's an area full of lush greenery and colorful plant, and I had to literally stop playing for a good 10+ minutes just to soak it all in. The backdrops are arguably more beautiful than what you can find in real life. The technological aspects look great too, as you will visit a futuristic setting which features incredible accuracy as well. I really can't praise this area enough. Sound 10 / 10 -- The game is just as good in the audio department as it is visual. I absolutely adore this game's soundtrack for it's perfection composition and the way they added lyrics to a lot of the tracks. Some vocalists can make or break a song for people, but the way these tracks were composed, when you're concentrating on the game itself, yo... Read the rest of this Review |
Red Dead Redemption: Game of the Year Edition 07-05-16 08:12 PM |
Red Dead Redemption Game of the Year Edition Red Dead Redemption is an open-world 3rd person shooter brought to you by Rockstar. It won over 160 Game of the Year awards, and for good reason too. Everything about this game is brilliantly put together. The combat is fast paced, the story is gripping as well as the characters being extremely entertaining, and it offers a huge world to explore with plenty to do. In a sense, it's exactly what the more modern Grand Theft Auto games would be if they took place in the wild west. You can do anything you want, or stick straight to the story, it's entirely up to you, which is something I love to see in games. It being a GotY Edition, it comes with all the bonus content and DLC that was released up to this version being put out, including the hit spin-off Undead Nightmare, where the zombie apocalypse takes place in this games world. Anyways, on to the review! Graphics 9 / 10 -- The graphics look phenomenal for how much content the game has in it. The tumbleweeds and foliage across the desert look intricate, as well as all of the many wild animals you may come across. The landscapes all look crisp, especially the mountains or forests off in the distance (or up close, just not as beautiful a perspective). The character's are all well designed, look sharp, and their faces show emotion properly for the circumstances, as well as their lips moving in sync with what they are saying. One of my favorite aspects here is the blood spatter when someone's head gets blown clean off. It's a bit of a shame none of the cut scenes feature FMVs or the like, but it doesn't take anything away from the experience whatsoever. Sound 9 / 10 -- Again, the sound here is incredible. The background music is great, always giving you the right feels for the moment. When you're riding your horse off into the sunset, it plays your classic wild west themed tune, while it picks up the pace during combat or serious events. The sound effects are all great. Everything from the pitter patter ... Read the rest of this Review |
Tales of Xillia 07-05-16 05:34 AM |
Tales of Xillia - Yet Another Tales Title Tales of Xillia is one of the more modern Tales releases, and still sticks to the formula we know and love. It has your typical JRPG elements, though it does feature a real time battle concept. There are no random encounters, instead the enemies show in the field and can be avoided for the most part when you want to. You can control any party member you choose in combat (or even set them to show on the field as your party leader), and can have up to 3 friends play with you and control your allies, though the AI does a pretty good job as well. There's no overworld, only a map that lists locations to pick from, but that doesn't take away from the experience hardly at all. Anyway, on to the review! Graphics 9 / 10 -- I loved the graphics in this game. Everything has a great amount of detail and looks great with a slightly cartoony / cel shading feel to it. The graphics really shine in the anime cut-scenes for the big events of the game, as well as combat. The effects used for all of the spells, or artes, look fantastic. My favorite of these would be a spell that creates a square of giant chains made of light, and then crash inward onto your foes, though the fire, wind, and water all look impeccable also. Another thing of note is the enemy designs. Though there are a few palette swaps that take place, for the most part the enemies are all unique and beautifully designed, especially the Bosses and Devil's Beasts you'll hear more about later. Sound 10 / 10 -- The sound is everything you could ever want in a JRPG. All of the background music is phenomenal, always providing the perfect ambiance for what location or situation you are currently in. My favorite of these tracks would be the boss battles for their fast pace and intensity, though the soothing tracks deserve just as much praise. Though even beyond the music, my favorite part audio wise would be the voice acting. In my opinion, every voice was perfectly spot on for the character, and acted extreme...

Pokemon Snap 07-05-16 12:10 AM |
Pokemon Snap - PokePics Pokémon Snap is a game played from the first person perspective. You are a photographer hired to take pictures of Pokémon on a remote island that is inhabited by all kinds of Pokémon species. I know how lame of a concept this sounds like, but it is extremely fun when actually played. You sit in a cart that slowly rolls down a preset track (though in a few places there are varying paths), and you take pictures of Pokémon along the way. Just trust me when I say it's better than it sounds. Anyway, on to the review! Graphics 8 / 10 -- I really liked the graphics this game had to offer. All of the Pokémon look great in 3D, are well proportioned, and have great detail. The environments look beautiful and colorful, adding the perfect backdrop for all your photos. In one instance, you can see a Pidgey using Gust on a Meowth, and it looks great. You can also see a Charizard using Flamethrower, among tons of other neat things to "Snap" a photo of. There are also hidden objects to take photos of, which look fantastic as well, but more on that later. Sound 8 / 10 -- The audio for the game is very well done. All of the Pokémon's cries are pretty spot on, and there's more than enough of them to satisfy your love for all things Pokémon. The sound effects in the game are great, one of which is you have the ability to throw apples as bait, and when it hits a Pokémon, makes a humorous "conk" noise. Another great example is when you warp in and out of each level, the effect of the transporters sounds right on the money. The background music is also very well done, adding a great ambiance to each track depending on it's setting. The sunny beach has a nice upbeat track to it, where a dark cave has an almost ominous feel to the music, though the volume is kept pretty low because it is truly intended simply for ambiance in the first place. Addictiveness 8 / 10 -- This game is extremely fun to play, and there's plenty to co... Read the rest of this Review |
