Game of the Week: Infamous Second Son
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
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 …

Medieval Engineers — Early Access — From the Space Engineers company only more grounded. It’s sounds like it’s still …

Technical Difficulties Part III
How loathsome are hackers? Even when they’re not directly attacking my site, they exploit code for any vulnerablities. Any code base not actively being supported is considered too dangerous to use. So apparently my previous blog theme used some PHP code calls restricted to version 5.2. So when my host stopped providing support for 5.2, …

Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor Impressions
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 …

Rocket League Announced for PS4
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 …

Instant Update: Middle Earth Shadow of Mordor (PC)
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 …
