PS3 Game: God Mode
Posted by Game News on May 12, 2013 | Leave a Comment
God Mode is more fun than it is good. It is as bare bones as shooters come, eschewing a single-player mode, multiple play modes, character classes and other items usually associated with the genre. Instead, it is a straightforward variation of a wave-based “Horde Mode,” but with an a few fun twists that can easily turn one game into “

PS3 Game: Darkstalkers Resurrection
Posted by Game News on May 01, 2013 | Leave a Comment
I really hope that the release of Darkstalkers Resurrection is just Capcom’s way of seeing if their long-dormant mythological fighter franchise has a future. While Darkstalkers always seemed to live in the shadows of the likes of Street Fighter and Marvel vs. Capcom, it has always been an enjoyable property, thanks to its refusal to stay grounded in anything even remotely resembling the real world. Its cast of characters has always been its selling point, and a strong one, at that. Darkstalkers...
PS3 Game: Guacamelee!

I’ve had my eyes on DrinkBox Studios for a while. Their Vita launch title Tales from Space: Mutant Blobs Attack charmed me to the moon with its colorful aesthetic and simple but fun gameplay. Their latest game, Guacamelee! should put them on the map in the eyes of any gamer fortunate enough to play it. It is a D

PS3 Game: Ninja Gaiden 3: Razors Edge
Posted by Game News on Apr 30, 2013 | Leave a Comment
Ugh, Ninja Gaiden 3. In my opinion, it is the second most disappointing sequel ever made (the first being Devil May Cry 2). It’s maddening to see a game remove almost everything that made its forebears great only to make room for some terrible new ideas. Well, here we are, one year later, and we have Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge. Originally released as a Wii U title, this upgraded version of a troubled action game aims to be a sort of apology. After playing this PlayStation 3 version,...
PS3 Game: God of War: Ascension
Posted by Game News on Apr 10, 2013 | Leave a Comment
After God of War III’s failure to commit to a true conclusion for its troubled antihero, it only seems logical that the story should continue. Well, it might, but no time soon: this PlayStation 3 exclusive is a prequel that pretty much leaves no stone unturned when it comes to the impossibly eventful and bloodsoaked past of the Spartan known as Kratos. In the end, this is another solid action title featuring everyone’s favorite scowling goateed deicidal maniac, though it may not be...
PS3 Game: Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3
Posted by Game News on Apr 07, 2013 | Leave a Comment
I have some mixed feelings when it comes to Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3. I’ve believe that the Ultimate Ninja line has been the best of the Naruto fighters for a long time, and while I feel that Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 is still better than most other Naruto fighters, there are some areas where it falls short in the Ultimate Ninja line.
One place it isn’t hurting is in presentation. Both the visuals and audio of Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 are high quality. After all, the characters...
PS3 Game: BioShock Infinite
Posted by Game News on Apr 06, 2013 | Leave a Comment
BioShock Infinite is a game that will be remembered and discussed for quite some time. It has one of the most compelling game worlds ever. It features an incredible narrative that perfectly balances headiness with raw emotion. It tackles some very heavy themes, and confronts them without making any concessions. It challenges your mind, your wits, your reflexes, and your humanity. Oh, and it’s liable to be the most fun you’ve had with a shooter in a very long time.
Technically, BioShock...

The Capcom Arcade Cabinet: Game Pack 1 gives you access to a number of old Capcom arcade games from the 80’s and beyond. You know, back when we had arcades in malls, before they were gutted and replaced with clothing shops. Anyway, if you

PS3 Game: Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory
Posted by Game News on Mar 15, 2013 | Leave a Comment
Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory is not a game for everyone, nor is it a game for RPG fans in general. Instead of catering to a large audience, Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory offers a very niche experience for fans of the series, or other offbeat JRPGs.
Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory realizes the dream of in-game graphics that look like an actual cartoon. This has been one of the series

PS3 Game: Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories
Posted by Game News on Feb 27, 2013 | Leave a Comment
I rarely replay games. I go back to some games from time to time, but I usually need a compelling reason for a replay. This is even truer in recent years; “life” only leaves so much time for activities. When I do go back
