While I don’t consider myself to be a hardcore RPG fan and usually stick to titles that I’m more familiar with; when I began Dragon Age: Origins, I found myself immersed in the deep storyline.
Bioware is known for excellent RPG games, and they haven’t disappointed with Dragon Age: Origins. The huge amount of side quests extend the life of the game and learning about the world itself is a lot of reading, but those who want to know everything about the world will be able to.
Well, it’s that time of year again. The time when all of those big-shot game developers KNOW that you are sitting on your fat butts looking for something fun to do, so of course all of the best games are released! Well we all know that Valve has an impressive track record with The Orange Box and the previous Left 4 Dead, so we should certainly expect nothing less than gold from their new zombie slasher-thrasher, but should you spend your hard earned money on this, or one of the many other new releases? Well I’d like to thank Valve for sending me an early copy of the game to review for all of you, so here are my thoughts on Left 4 Dead 2.
Man, I never thought today would finally get here. Well, it’s here, the most anticipated game of 2009, Infinity Wards Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 was released at midnight last night, and believe me, I was one of the several hundred people standing in line freezing outside of Gamestop to pick this bad boy up. Well, with all of the anticipation and build up of the game over the last several months, you’d better damn well hope that this game is going to blow your mind. Well, let’s just take a look.
Well, I’ll be the first to admit, I don’t know squat about cars. Hell, I even grew up in a family whose business was selling them, and I still couldn’t tell you what a rear differential was. Nonetheless, Codemasters sent me a copy of their newest racing game Dirt 2, and all I’ve got to say is DAMN! Now, I haven’t even played a racing game since one of the early Need For Speeds on the PC, and back then, there wasn’t much skill involved to be a leet driver, you just held down the gas pedal and drove. So take this review for what it’s worth. I’m not a racing game guy, but I thought this game was amazing! Released this past September for all consoles and handles, and this coming December for the PC, is Codemasters’ Dirt 2.
Zombie Tycoon is the first PSPMini title that I had the chance to play. With the comparison to Apple iTunes App Store, I was hoping not to expect the bloatware that mainly exists on Apple’s service. Thankfully, Zombie Tycoon is a nice pickup and play title that moves quickly and has enough style to keep it interesting, even if the gameplay does get a little repetitive.
Since Fallout 3 and its DLC have been released on both the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, there isn’t much to say about the game. But from my perspective, having never played the game until the Game of the Year edition, Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition is the game to buy for the Holidays as a gift for those who haven’t jumped into Fallout.
GotGame has two previous reviews from from two old writers that can be read here and here. But look inside and read my reactions to this amazing title.
Having never played a Shin Megami Tensei title, but hearing a lot of positive reactions to the series, I was interested in playing this port of the first title. Granted the game is a little old, but the original localization of the game left a lot out and probably confused a lot of American gamers.
This updated and vastly improved edition of the game is a great way to experience the origins of the series, as it was meant to be.
As a big fan of the Japanese movie Crows Zero and its sequel Crows Zero 2, I was really interested in Kenka Bancho: Badass Rumble and the portrayal of Japanese High School thugs in this game. Atlus has been releasing many interesting games lately, many of which might have not gotten a chance to see past the shores of Japan and Kenka Bancho: Badass Rumble is one of those games that deserves a chance for wider appreciation.
The game takes place over seven days in Kyoto on a high school trip. Over these seven days, the goal is to defeat all the other school’s Banchos and become the best fighter in Japan. An interesting side note is that while the game focuses on the journey to become the best fighter, it also includes a secondary relationship gameplay function in the game.
