The next generation of home consoles allow us to create the best and the most immersive THIEF game ever.

THIEF is a next-gen only title coming to Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC in 2014. I'm looking forward to seeing more of it at E3.

Review: Tomb Raider (PC)

Tomb Raider PC Review

Tomb Raider (PC [Reviewed], PlayStation 3, X-Box 360) Developer: Crystal Dynamics Publisher: Square Enix Genre(s): Third person action adventure Released: March 5, 2013 ESRB Rating: M – Mature In many years I could sign off on this game as "Game Of The Year" outright. It's that good. In a year like 2013 is shaping up to be and the fact that this game came out early enough in it, the jury is still out. I can guarantee that by the end of the year this game will be still on many people's GOTY shortlists, including mine. That's probably enough of a review right there for a lot of people but wait, as they say, there's more! I'm going to explain how and why I think so highly of this game. … [Read more...]

The Backlog Volume # 14 – Sleeping Dogs Platform: Playstation 3, Xbox 360 [Reviewed], PC Publisher: Square Enix Developer: United Front Games, Square Enix London Studios Genre(s): Open World, Action-Adventure Released: August 14, 2012 ESRB Rating: M - Mature Hello all and welcome back to another installment of The Backlog. You know, when I first started these, I was looking at some blasts, or in some cases some flops, from the past. Here lately, I've been showcasing the type of games that have caused my wall of shame to grow unchecked for several years. Enough of the bullshitting, time to get down to business. August 14th was a busy day in the US, with the release of both Darksiders 2 (reviewed by our own Gary Smith) and Sleeping Dogs, which you are reading right now … [Read more...]

Deus Ex: Human Revolution Review

September 15, 2011 By 5 Comments

Deus Ex: Human Revolution (PC [Reviewed], Playstation 3, Xbox 360, OnLive) Developer: Eidos Montreal Publisher: Square-Enix Genre(s): Action-Adventure Released: August 23, 2011 ESRB Rating: M – Mature I'm reviewing the PC version of this game but make no mistake: You get a high quality experience on whichever platform you can get this one and you should as soon as possible. Upfront I will say that you should prepare to play the best game you've played this year thus far at least. If you have the hardware, the PC opens the door up for some potential DiretX11 eye candy, a little higher resolution in some spots, and keyboard and mouse play which is far and away my preference for any first person game. … [Read more...]

Elevator Action Deluxe Review

August 31, 2011 By 1 Comment

Elevator Action Deluxe (Playstation Network) Developer:  Square Enix Publisher:  Square Enix Genre(s): Platformer, Arcade Released: August 30, 2011 ESRB Rating: T - Teen In 1983, game developer Taito released Elevator Action in the arcades, and it was a popular arcade game that was later ported to home consoles as an NES title in 1985. That port is available on the Wii’s Virtual Console. But now, some 28 years after the release of the original Elevator Action in arcades, Square Enix has delivered a remake titled Elevator Action Deluxe available now exclusively on the Playstation Network. This remake hasn’t strayed too far from the original; one look at the game and you’ll instantly know that it is an Elevator Action title. You still traverse the building by moving left, … [Read more...]

Review: Just Cause 2

April 17, 2011 By 2 Comments

Just Cause 2 (Xbox 360, Playstation 3 [Reviewed], PC) Publisher: Square Enix Developer(s): Avalanche Studios, Eidos Interactive Genre(s): Action, Third Person Shooter, Open World Released: March 23, 2010 ESRB Rating: M – Mature Just Cause 2 might be the only game I ever recommend ignoring the story of to just play and have fun. The reason the story should be avoided is because it isn't very good. The writing is bad, the voice-overs are bad, hell even the cut scenes are laughable. Everything that would usually draw you into the world and make you care about the character you're controlling is either lackluster or non-existent here. But that's totally acceptable in Just Cause 2 because just playing around and creating chaos is an absolute blast that should (have already been) be … [Read more...]
