Asterix & Obelix XXL 2: Roman Rumble in Las Vegum  |
Rating of: 3/5
|
Small, Big, and Medi… ocre.
|
|
The ‘Asterix’ series is a venerable line of graphic novels/comic books that started way back in 1959, written by two fake Frenchmen – Rene Goscinny (a Polish/Ukrainian immigrant to France) and Albert Uderzo (an Italian immigrant to France) – and is still running to this day, only under the ownership of a multi-national corporate publisher. It has since become something of a French nationa... |

| Valkyria Chronicles 4 |
Rating of: 5/5

Better than Ever
|
|
Way back in 2008, as the RPG genre was circling the drain at the midpoint of the dire 7th Generation of Videogames, Sega – the perpetual second-place console-maker cum third-party developer – surprised everyone by pausing in its perpetual flogging of its old, tired IPs and produced a brand new one. Not only was the original “Valkyria Chronicles” an incredibly rare high-quality RPG ... |

Lovecraft-Lite Provides Decent Enjoyment
|
|
While scouring the wasteland that is Steam local multiplayer options, the MJ crew were presented with this Metroidvania game. I'm not opposes to the genre at all and though I have never played Jotun, the game at least looked quite presentable. While Sundered will not change your worldview or make you cry tears of joy, it does provide a decent amount of solid entertainment and is a good way to pas... |

| Metroid Prime: Hunters |
Rating of: 4/5

"Metroid Prime: Hunters"
|
|
Another 3D version of the Metroid franchise that falls short of recreating the genius of the original 2D incarnations. It's slick, it's pretty and has a large, well designed play area but like the other reboots on the Gamecube, it loses its way when there is little to no indication as to where you must go next leaving you aimlessly wandering around, replaying old levels time after time in the vai... |

| Warhammer 40,000: Squad Command |
Rating of: 3.5/5
|
|
A decent turn-based strategy game set in the Warhammer universe, but the touch screen element is pointless and it's nowhere near as good as the PSP version. A decent military strategy title but it doesn't hold a candle to the Advance Wars games. |

| MechAssault: Phantom War |
Rating of: 3.5/5
|
|
This mech-based style game has some rather ropey cut scenes, but the game itself is a fun 3D blaster with a nice variety of mechs, enemies and missions. It's never spectacular but always solid in every department and certainly worth a look for fans of the genre. |

| Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night |
Rating of: 4.5/5

A Castlevania Clone That Meets Expectations
|
|
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night fills a need for console gaming that Konami didn't address for years.
Make no mistake, Bloodstained is a Castlevania clone. For those who do not know the story behind Bloodstained, here's a really short summation. One of the former producers of Castlevania, Koji Igarashi, wanted to make another game and went through Kickstarter to get funding. Over 5 million ... |

| Ninja Gaiden ( Shadow Warriors ) |
Rating of: 1/5

Hell Doesn’t Have 9 Layers, It Has 6 Acts
|
|
“Ninja Gaiden,” which, thanks to the 3 Japanese characters between the two words in the title, I always read as “Ninja THE Gaiden,” is one of those games that never piqued my interest back in the day. Granted, I didn’t even start gaming until the year it game was released, in 1989, and my desire to play the old NES was frequently limited by both my 10-year-old child attention span and m... |

Bigger, More Beautiful, and More Refined
|
|
Red Dead Redemption 2 is a fantastic game that tells great stories, provides beautiful, lush, and expansive environments and can provide practically endless hours of entertainment barring you have the endurance and will power to get through the slow parts.
Red Dead Redemption 2 is the sequel to Red Dead Redemption which came out on PS3 in 2010. But, the story isn't a sequel, It's actually a ... |
