If you have in your head what Rico Rodriguez has in his head, you’ll probably be institutionalized. But he’s Rico, our favorite master of mayhem and captain of carnage, and he’s back to git-more-of-that-some in Just Cause 3. The Firestarter trailer shows us his visualization technique as he’s going from Point A, airplane, to Point… Read More »
Overwatch will rock it. Yeah, it’s Team Fortress 2 déjà vu all over again. And it’ll probably be an F2P with all the crap that comes with F2Ps. But it’ll rock. After all, it’s got a kick-rear gorilla in a space outfit and a sniperess called Widowmaker. And no one will rock it more than… Read More »
The Shadow Warrior remake seems like a slashing good time. Lots of blood and bombs. And it stars a real star-in-the-making in Lo Wang, Katana Enthusiast. My only gripe is why is Lo Wang a katana enthusiast? Lo Wang is Chinese and katana is Japanese. There’s some serious bad history there – and I’m talking… Read More »
The elephants sold me. Yes, there are elephants in Far Cry 4. And not just any elephants. Blood-thirsty, crazy-mad elephants. The gameplay premiere, narrated by two creatives, boasts an open world (though the video focused on a mountain pass) and lots of animals including yaks, an eagle and yes, elephants. I love elephants. There’s some… Read More »
Enemy Front is a blast from the past. The trailer’s out this week and the FPS reminds me of the first Medal of Honor game on PlayStation fifteen years ago. There are different moves like holding an enemy soldier hostage, but the play is essentially the same as other WW2 FPSs that have come before.… Read More »
What is Destiny? Better question is what isn’t Destiny? It’s an RPG FPS MMO. The developer, Bungie (of Halo fame) is calling it a “shared-world shooter.” It’s also got speeder bikes like the ones from Return of the Jedi. And character art that reminds me of Robotech, especially The New Generation, which also had a… Read More »
Wolfenstein is old. Three generations old. The first developer was a baby boomer. It goes back to the beginning of gaming. One of the first stealth games, and then the first FPS. So what keeps the series so popular? One word: Nazis. Lots and lots of Nazis to blast away, blow up, chain-saw in half,… Read More »
The new trailer for Get Even is out and the visuals are impressive – like a photo-real painting or a scene from a movie. The game, about memories vs reality and so on, uses some fancy scanning technology to create the “realistic” world. The trailer only shows the inside of a dark, gray and abandoned… Read More »
I need a good realistic tactical shooter. Seriously, I need it like I need a double-shot espresso with my bagel. As much as I love COD and Halo, there hasn’t been a game that’s filled the void after Ghost Recon got the “change-isn’t-always-better” makeover. Full Spectrum Warrior had potential but was a bust. So was… Read More »
The Alien vs Aliens debate has ignited countless geek battles over the years. It’s a topic as inflammatory in geekdom as “Who’s the best Doctor Who?” On one hand, you have the survival thriller. One Alien and a crew of terrified but healthy walking-incubators picked off one by one in the dark. Then there’s Aliens,… Read More »
