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 …

The Playstation Blog had a bunch of Sony bigwigs and developers list their favorite PS One games. Just reading their lists brought back tons of great memories. I thought I’d do mine quickly. Battle Arena Toshinden — This is not a classic game like most of them on the list, but it was one of …

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 …

I still suck at this game. I just don’t see the path fast enough and reactions can’t compensate any more. At least I only waste a few seconds per try. I think I’ll go back to Threes.

I’ve been meaning to post this for a while. Video games change the way you dream. One of the things I’ve love about games is the way they encourage flexible thinking. I’m also a fan of increased agency in dreams, games and real life. Future games should give us more freedom to choose our own …

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 …
