Fuse (PlayStation 3, Xbox 360) Developer: Insomniac Games Publisher: EA Genre(s): Action, Third Person Shooter Releases: May 28, 2013 Price: $59.99 ESRB Rating: M – Mature   I was pretty excited when Insomniac revealed Overstrike at E3 back in 2011. It was actually my favorite trailer from any presentation that year. I liked the look of it and the apparent humor, and although I am a PlayStation 3 gamer was happy to see that Insomniac was going multiplatform so that more people could enjoy their outstanding work. And then the game fell off everyone's radar, only to come back later with a new title and no cartoonish art. I didn't think that would bode well for the new IP, and especially one I was looking forward to in large part because of the art, but now that I've … [Read more...]

Here’s 17 Minutes of Battlefield 4 “Fishing in Baku” Gameplay

March 27, 2013 By Leave a Comment

Battlefield 4 was "officially announced" late last night, and above you can catch 17 minutes of gameplay from the single player campaign. People buy Call of Duty for the multiplayer; a good portion don't even bother with the campaign. EA has wanted to produce a "COD killer" for a number of years now, and I have to say that it's baffling to me that they would focus on single player for Battlefield 4 (they did the same thing a couple of years ago with Battlefield 3). This is a multiplayer orientated franchise. That's what the Battlefield fanbase cares about, and that's what EA should be focusing on if they truly want to attempt to take down Call of Duty. The description of the video reminds us that the above is shot entirely in-game and "is the first glimpse of the human, dramatic, … [Read more...]

Medal of Honor: Warfighter (Playstation 3 [reviewed], Xbox 360, PC, Wii U) Publisher: Electronic Arts Developer: Danger Close Genre(s): First-Person Shooter Released: October 23, 2012 ESRB Rating: M-Mature Welcome back one and all to my humble little review series, The Backlog. Today we will be taking a look at Medal of Honor: Warfighter, the follow-up to the 2010 title Medal of Honor and the continuation of the modern day reboot of the series. While I am a fan of shooters, I, to this point, have not had a chance to play any of the reboot Medal of Honor. Obviously I did spend some time with Warfighter over the past week, otherwise why would I be writing about it, right? Have to say it was a pretty solid experience. How solid, well let's get to it and find out. … [Read more...]

Publisher: Microsoft Game Studios, Electronic Arts Developer: Bioware Genre(s): Action, RPG, Third Person Shooter Released: November 20, 2007 ESRB Rating: M – Mature What can I say about Mass Effect?  For those that haven’t played it before, it is one of the best gaming experiences you can have.  For those that have played it, it’s still one of the best gaming experiences you can have.
