Too Much Awesome

Battlefield 3 has nothing to lose and everything to gain, but can it dethrone Call of Duty? I wish I knew.

It’s finally come to this. Over a decade later and the weight of this game’s release is too much for anyone to handle. Duke Nukem Forever was a joke that’d never die, and when we heard it was coming out of development hell during PAX Prime 2011, it seemed too good to be true. And [...]

It’s really difficult for me to get into the FPS genre. Most of this isn’t actually because I’m bad at First-Person Shooters though. I found a lot of enjoyment with Modern Warfare 2’s online mode, or more specifically I’ve learned that I function better on a team where different members are given different responsibilities, so [...]

Hi there. Is this the final straw? Are you tired of games like Killzone and Call of Duty taking themselves too seriously? Do you want to play a game so over-the-top that you can brag about it? Wouldn’t you rather tear out your brain stem, run with it all the way to the nearest four-way [...]

One of the biggest questions I pose to various friends of mine comes down to “Why is that game fun?” I’ll look at a title and not be able to clearly identify what makes the game and similar games in the genre fun to a variety of gamers. But I don’t want to live in [...]

If you’ve read my Bioshock review, you already know that I like Bioshock. If you read my preview for Bioshock 2, then you know I’m pretty psyched for the sequel. Well, the sequel’s out now, so did it live up to my expectations? There is some good, some bad, and some blah, but let’s save [...]

Here we go, we have another FPS to review. But this time there’s a catch. This time, we’ve also got an MMORPG, of sorts. Yup, talking about MAG this time, a First Person Shooter that’s big hook is the ability to play with 256 players at the same time. In fact, there isn’t even a [...]

Who am I to decide what makes a good game and bad game? I’m about to tell you that Army of Two: The 40th Day is pretty unimpressive as a game.  But who’s to say I’m the correct person to say such a thing? It’s become pretty clear that I’m a Nintendo fanboy and that [...]
