I was lucky to receive two games yesterday for my birthday. Metal Gear Rising and Crysis 3. Rising is great, played up to where the demo has you. But those opening 15 mins are pure gold. Crysis 3 is genuinely really fucking cool too. Keep in mind, this is the first Crysis game I've played and so the...

And people say this isn't a Metal Gear game...

Here's my theory what the next Metal Gear will have: Slavery, human trafficking and finally army camps where children are turned into dead eyed soldiers for the local guerilla forces to fight (remember those kids locked away in the cages in the first trailer). Keep in mind that Big Boss was extreme...

Doesn't bother me. These games are meant to be replayed, as you get more out of the game the more you put into it. It's why I, among others, have put dozens of hours into DMC3 or Bayonetta even with it's relatively short campaigns. A lot of gamers seemingly play for the 'experience' nowadays but wha...

Could there be any more of a non-event than the recent reveal of Bungie's new game Destiny? Just full of what the game is gonna be full of hyperbolic marketing crap, no game footage, no nothing. They say the engine can support this gen of consoles, the next gen of consoles and the next gen after tha...

what beat em up or hack and slash can't be beaten in 10 hours? Again, not saying I personally think it's a bad thing, considering that the game already seems like a lot of fun to play and it'll have multiple difficulty levels etc. It's just that Vanquish received wide criticism for being too short,...

I hope Rising does well in sales and gives Platinum games the hit it deserves and I for one can't wait to play it....However, Games TM is the first review to mention that the game can be beaten in under 10 hours. I fear that, like seen with Vanquish, that will be the stick it's beaten with by review...

I'm in two minds about it in all honesty. It certainly doesn't look like a bad game, it actually looks good and it might play pretty well. I just don't know if I can get behind the new direction this game is taking. Maybe it's needed, post -Uncharted, but it all seems just a little bit too QTE heavy...

It's funny, I've watched other people play The Walking Dead and everyone I saw was affected by all those emotional high points just as hard as they did for me. Just goes to show the strength of the story that's been told when it gets such a universal reaction.

So apparently there's an easy to use farming resource glitch in Dead Space 3 which completely negates the need for micro-transactions. But it's ok! EA isn't going to patch that out, in fact, they like that there is a bug in the game that allows this and doesn't want people to give them extra money a...

A potential tease for Project Gotham Racing 5 MSR/PGR2 are joint top the best racing games I've ever played. Not just because of the style of racing, that was a lot of fun. Specifically why I think those games are so great is the soundtrack and the tracks, more specifically the cities. Each city ha...

In terms of epic battles that make you feel like a badass, I think I've just had the most satisfying AC combat situation yet. For shits and giggles I picked on a group of redcoats in Boston. I took out one from behind and then two rushed me at once and I did that animation that takes out two at once...

Nobody is surprised at this right? Sad to see, but the worst has pretty much happened. Ninja Theory and Capcom gets a bad rep and fans like myself are sure as hell now not going to see another Devil May Cry game because Capcom will just consider it a dead franchise that has no appeal. Things may hav...

On the actual Artorias fight now and....*sigh* I think I might need to summon somebody. The fight's a lot of fun, Artorias is a cool design and a cool fight. But it just takes so long and he can easily kill you in 2-3 hits if you aren't careful. And yet it's taking me 3 mins to even get a quarter of...

I bought the Artorias of the Abyss DLC. I like how even being able to access the DLC in-game is kept obscure and cryptic where it would normally be a menu option in other games! Only just entered the new area now and no joke, I've died in the first 30 secs. It's a real "oh hey I see you've put ...
