DeathSpank Review

2010-11-08T13:58:00.000-08:00

Deathspank is a unique comedic RPG! Within the first 5 minutes of the game I was rolling on the floor laughing. The learning curve is easy and the gameplay battle style is smooth and polished. The graphics are unique and give a sorta cartoony-2d style feel even though they are 3 dimensional. Deathspank is a funny, classic, and personable hero along with all the rest of the characters in this game. There are countless enemies and many different weapons and armor you will use during battle. The game has plenty of quests and puzzles to strain your brain and will keep you playing for hours. For 15 dollars this game will most definitely entertain you and wont disappoint.

Ongaku

2010-10-26T05:20:00.000-07:00

Ongaku! This game is high up on my indie games list. The game is highly artistic and has a very smooth feel to it. The games music is very catchy and enjoyable both to listen to and to play through. This game is a rhythmic game in which you press buttons to the beat of the music playing. When you play well you paint a good picture, when you play poorly you paint a bad picture. This game is highly challenging and requires extreme focus thus making it that much better :). This game also has a feature where you can pick your own music and good/bad picture to pain when your playing good or bad. I highly suggest you guys to check it out.

Burn! Zombie Burn! Review

2010-10-20T16:26:00.000-07:00

Burn Zombie Burn is your classic hack-n-slash arcade syle game developed for PC and also available on PSN. This game consists of zombies, damsels, and weapons, and of course bruce who is your main character who looks like Fonzie from Happy Days. Bruce is adamant about killing zombies and rescuing women from them. Now I keep saying zombies but that doesn't cover it. We have all kinds of zombies from dancing MJ zombies to self exploding Husein zombies that kill everything it their radius, except you of course because Fonzie aint effected by no measly zombies pshhh. Oh theres more though, burning zombies drop upgrades like tnt and speed boots where as non burning zombies drop tasty treats that allow your character to regain health. Which implements a bit of a strategy as you may want to leave some zombies unburnt. Well sounds easy enough but fire, well spreads like fire. The fire will spread from zombie to zombie and for some reason the species enjoys ass raping eachother as they attack you so you may have an entire fleet of zombies just lighting more and more zombies on fire in a snowball like massive fire of death.... Which is ironic because last I heard zombies were already dead. Hmmmmm. Interesting. For 10 Dollars this game will keep you occupied for probably an hour per click. You decide if it is worth it to you.

Zeno Clash

2010-10-17T19:37:00.001-07:00

Zeno Clash is a game developed by an indy company named Ace Team. Its a game that makes no sense. Heres the story. Your "family" hunts you down because you kill your mother/father (yes its one person) and tries to kill you. While you run and hide from them you run into a mysterious creature that knows everything. He tells you to take him back to the town and your family and that he can fix everything. He fixes nothing. You kill the same people over and over and over again. well.... just watch my video because this is just annoying to type about.

Plain Sight

2010-10-16T06:47:00.000-07:00

Plain Sight! I found this game while surfing steams indy games list and as you guys can probably already tell, im a huge indy games supporter. This game was developed by a small company named Beatnik Games. Plain Sight is their first game :)

Plain Sight is a completely unique multiplayer arcade game revolving around fast action, low gravity, and essentially suicidal robotic ninjas. This game is one of the most action packed games I have ever played and requires a large understanding of the games physics as well as quick reflex skills. This game is FUN because its challenging! When you get a kill its like your whole world opened up. Its like when your playing baseball and you knock the ball outa the park. Its like football when you throw a touchdown pass or stuff a fullback and make a goal line defense. Making plays in this game is what it is all about, and then you kill yourself. Yes you literally must explode yourself in order to acquire the points you earned from your kills, and if you dont explode before you are killed, those points are stolen from you by the one who killed you! The more points you bank the more unlocks and perks you will attain. Strategy is huge! Its not like your standard shooter where you get a kill and it shows up on the scoreboard. You could have the most kills in the game and be the worst player in the room simply because you didnt kill yourself. This game is truly unique and one of its kind I highly suggest you check it out.

Sol Survivor

2010-10-15T07:46:00.001-07:00

Sol Survivor! Brand new tower defense action game with a twist. Not only can you build towers to defend your base, but you can also use orbital support to aid your towers. I really enjoyed this game. I personally am a huge fan of tower defense games and this one happens to fall under that category. So lets get started. Sol Survivor is a 3D action/defense game which allows you to create your own custom class that contains your own unique array of orbital commands and defensive towers. The game has many multiplayer options and an extensive single player campaign that will keep you busy for a good chunk of time. Does this game have an addicting "x" factor? I dont believe so. Will it be your main game? I dont believe so, but, I do however believe if you spend your 10 hard-earned dollars on this game you wont be disappointed.

Delve Deeper

2010-10-14T13:01:00.000-07:00

Looking to kill some time? Don't want to encompass yourself in a fast action shooter or enthralling RPG? Delve Deeper is the game for you. Delve Deeper is a turn-based game of dwarves and treasures. The dwarven team with the most gold at the end of the game wins. This is a fairly simple concept until you add strategic dig sites and large groups of monsters that don't want anything with you but to kill you. Not to mention other dwarven team with fighters that will rip apart your miners and scouts on site. This game is truly strategic and every turn you must choose the correct path to victory. It is very raw however. The graphics system looks like that of an Windows 95 game and the multi-player system is hot seat based even though the game came out this year (2010). Upon first execution the game crashed and forced me to play with the compatibility settings and is very difficult to play in full screen mode. If I were to give this game a genre it would be board game. Yes, this game is essentially a board game on steroids. Dont get me wrong I have spent over 10 hours playing around with this game, but I do not believe it to be worth the 10 dollars I spent on it.

Alien Swarm

2010-10-03T15:35:00.000-07:00

Alien Swarm!!! I enjoyed this game thoroughly. If you have time to go down to a LaN Center or have multiple computers this game is great to play with friends. The beauty about it is its completely free. So you and your friends can enjoy this hack and slash game for hours without so much as an advertisement to bother you. There aren't any buy-able add-ons or premium subscriptions for gamers who are trying to get an edge on the people who don't want to spend money on the game. And Even if there was it wouldn't help them much on that aspect because it is a co-op game. In this game you are a team of alien swatters who's mission is to destroy the alien race and save humanity. From four different difficulty settings you and your friends can progress efficiently with or without challenge. With multiple classes and weapons to choose from everyone will find there place in the party. This game is designed beautifully with nearly no bugs or screen tearing and has fairly good graphics. The sounds in this game add to the suspense and thats the best part. This game is super suspenseful you and your friends will be screaming across the room at each other as hundreds of aliens close in on you. Overall this game is intense and rates 8/10 for playability and cooperative genius.

Upcoming Games!!! 10/3/2010

2010-10-03T14:18:00.000-07:00

Dungeon Defenders- For the price you cant go wrong. I not only am a fan of "castle defense" type games but I am also a fan of the cartoon style graphics you find in this game and games like Fable and LoL. The fact that the preorder for this game is only 9 dollars makes it a no-brainer for me. I personally pre-ordered this game from gamersgate.com. But it will also be available on Steam at project date november 1st, 2010.

Fable 3!!!- I am a huge fan of Fable games and the choice between good and evil. It really makes for a great game because you can have a good character, and an evil character if you wish to replay. The cartoon style graphics are candy for the eye and the plots are usually pretty enticing. I cant wait for this game to come out on October 26, 2010 for PS3, Xbox 360 and for all you PC gamer fans Fable has finally returned!

Brink!!!- A revolutionary shooter is coming soon! Not only have they revolutionized a new style of play, but they have also redrawn the lines between single player and multiplayer gameplay. The graphics of this game look amazing and the plot is intriguing because it may become reality one day. I am looking forward to this game very much!

Fallout New Vegas!!!!- Cant go wrong with a fallout game. I love the post apocalyptic scene and the game play style these games bring to the table. With so many options this game isnt just a game you play and beat and stash away in a closet full of CDs you'll probably never touch again; These games replay values are among the top of the list and wont dissapoint you. Cant wait for this game to come out on October 19th, 2010 (My Birthday).

Final Fantasy VII

2010-09-30T15:32:00.001-07:00

Squaresoft's FINAL FANTASY 7 classic role playing game created for the playstation, pc, and now playstation network, hasnt failed to hit gamers' libraries all over the globe. The 7th installment of the final fantasy series has been called the not only the best RPG ever but also the best Game ever period. This game was way ahead of its time and pioneered a unique turn based battle system as well as newly rendered graphics. You start out the game as an ex-shinra soldier named cloud who does petty jobs as a mercenary for a rebellion group called AVALANCHE. AVALANCHE is a group dedicated to bringing down shinra corporation for their unruly operations to gain fortune and power through the use of the planets lifestream. Cloud sticks with this group throughout the game and meets new friends along the way which will aid you in battle. Soon cloud's petty jobs turn into a quest to save the planet and his new found friends. From fun mini games to action packed boss fights to dramatic cut scenes this game wont fail to keep you on your toes as the suspenseful music adds to the already intense battle scenes. Not to mention the countless hours of play you will spend earning new items, gear, spells, and skills to finally finish off the main nemesis, Sephiroth, at the end of the game. Sephiroth is arguably the baddest ass villain of all in any game. As a classic this game deserves no less than a 10/10 and if you havent already bought this game you should get off your lazy ass and buy it right now!!!!!

League of Legends (PC)

2010-09-27T20:44:00.000-07:00

Hey guys Sick here to talk to you about Riot Games' League of Legends! Players all over the globe are logging into this high voltage team based game and for a good reason. In League of Legends you can choose one of 60 champions which has its own unique style and skill. League of Legends takes place in an arena in which you have teams of 5 or teams of 3.

The objective of the game is to defeat the enemy teams nexus. Sounds simple enough but this can turn out to be quite a task. During gameplay you will buy items to boost character stats and get an edge on the other team. If you die to the enemy you than "feed" them gold. If they die to you than thats more gold in your pocket. There are also bosses and mini bosses such as Baron and a Dragon which give you buffs, gold, and extra experience that may turn the game around for your team.

Games usually average around 45 minutes so if you dont have an hour to kill than dont play. After each game the players are granted Influence Points in which you buy runes and unlock new characters, and experience.

Experience grants level in which you can place points in a skill tree that will add special stats to your champions during each game you play. Games usually only take a few seconds to get into as the player base for this game is extremely large. Minus a few bugs and some unbalances this game is nearly perfect. I rate this game 8/10.

Fallout 3 (PC)

2010-09-27T16:29:00.000-07:00

Between fast action-packed fights with fucked up and deformed humanoids, strategic role playing, and 100's of weapons you wont be disappointed with Bethesda's, Fallout 3.

Fallout 3 is a story of a boy who grows up in a vault, and at the age of 19 exits the vault to a vast post apocalyptic wasteland destroyed by a nuclear war. In this wasteland you encounter everything from over sized mutants to deformed vicious animals. As a boy you acquired what is called a pip boy. This device allows you to add points which you acquire through a leveling system that you can use to increase your attributes in over 10 different stats. You can be a cunning thief or a charming man who uses intelligence and charisma to achieve his goals, the choice is yours. The pip boy also allows for a combat system called V.A.T.S. (Vault-Tec Assisted Targeting System) V.A.T.S. allows you to pause the game and strategically place shots or melee hits on various organs on your opponent. Depending on where you hit them depends on the effects it has. So you can either run and gun or slow your game down and strategize to your liking.

In Fallout 3 you will encounter many characters in which you will aid or resist. Depending on your decision to aid them depends directly upon how you play your game. For instance, in the beginning of the game you can choose to aid a man trying explode a town or turn in the man for trying to do so. If you choose to explode the town you will no longer be able to access the many shops it has to offer as well as any quests that would come from the people who reside there.

In Fallout 3 there are 100's of weapons you can choose to use. Between axes and rockets launchers im sure you will find your weapon of choice. Along with these weapons there are secret guns and unlocks you can acquire that will keep you playing for hours.

From high caliber shootouts to strategic role playing this game will keep you on your toes for over 50 hours. Given that you can change the game so much upon a single decision the replay value of this game is amazing. I give this game 10/10 for Action RPG.
