I remember reading previews for the original Borderlands. I remember the change in art style that some claimed saved the game. That was over a decade ago. Borderlands 2 was released seven years ago. Borderland: The Pre-sequel was released five years ago. So how to get people excited for a new Borderlands game? Give them …

I just finished Red Dead Redemption II (RDR2) on PS4. It’s another huge game where I have to clarify what the means. I’ve finished the main story and both epilogues. I don’t think the fact that there are two epilogues is much of a spoiler, but I’ll try to avoid spoiling anything story related. The …

The God of War franchise on Playstation has long been a rage fueled button mashing spectacle action series. You played Kratos, a Spartan commander who is sucked into the games of the gods and pays an incomprehensible price. That launched him on a quest for vengeance fueled by pure anger. After many bloody adventures and …

I just finished playing Final Fantasy XV. By finished, I mean that I’m done. I completed the main story a little while back and have been exploring the post game quests and dungeons. I finished the legendary weapons quest line, but I only made it through three of the bonus ‘menace’ dungeons. I’ll get into …

The space genre was dead for many years. Now, all of a sudden we’ve got Elite: Dangerous, and No Man’s Sky and, perhaps, Star Citizen. That might be a weak line up for shooters, but it’s a renaissance for the space sim. In to this comes Rebel Galaxy. It’s sort of a cross between …

I still think Infamous was better than Prototype. There were a lot of cool things in Prototype, but throwing them all together didn’t create a great game. Of course, I might be bitter that we got Prototype instead of a follow up to Hulk: Ultimate Destruction. Infamous had its share of problems, but it managed …

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 …
