Mad Max is an open world action adventure game set in the wasteland world Max inhabits in the movies. Though it has some locations and links to Fury Road, the story is not from any of the movies. It’s another odyssey on Max’s journey to find peace. Of course, it’s bleak, violent, cruel and post …

I briefly touched on the fact that Shadow is a fun, compelling game. There are bugs and flaws, but he total experience rises so far above them that they seem inconsequential. The game realizes its goal of making you feel part of an epic adventure and tied in to the saga of the rings. So …

I’ve mentioned before that Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars for the PS3 was one of the surprise PSN hits for my family. It’s certainly one of the games that got the most hours last generation. In essence, it was soccer played with RC cars that could jump, boost and blow each other up. Well, I’m ecstatic …

In short, I can’t stop playing. Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor is a fun, compelling game. It thrusts you behind enemy lines with a wicked skill set that just keeps growing. You constantly get more deadly. While few of the parts are shiny and new, they’re put together masterfully. I grabbed the PC version because …

I picked up Injustice: Gods Among Us (PS4) on a PSN sale recently. I’m definitely more in the Capcom/Street Fighter camp than the Mortal Kombat camp, but I’ve enjoyed them as a diversion. I also enjoy superhero games. There are far too few good ones. I haven’t had much time to play, but I did …

Call it Frozen Cortex. Apparently the developers were tired of the ‘Frendzone’ jokes and the confusion about the game simulating American Football. The robot players and randomly generated field weren’t enough to distinguish it from Madden. Or maybe the NFL isn’t as universal as we Americans like to think it is. Regardless, anything from the …

I had been meaning to pick up Dynasty Warriors Gundam 3, but it got hard to find. For a while people were asking outrageous prices. The prices have finally come down. I was considering getting it when a bunch of reviews for Gundam Reborn started showing up. I found it interesting that many of them …

In the spirit of Halloween, we have the latest version of Devil May Cry available on 360, PS3 and PC. This is a reboot and comes from the UK instead of Japan. Perhaps slightly tongue in cheek, we start with an amnesiac hero. He wakes after a night of wild partying to find a demon …

I’m nowhere near a fighting game expert. I never count frames of animation or worry about hit box overlap. However, I have been playing fighting games since the original Street Fighter II arcade cabinets came out. I played a lot of Street Fighter and the clones that followed. The clones were trying to piggyback on …
