Weapon Up! Borderlands The Pre-Sequel

Pandora's most lovable warlord, Handsome Jack, is no more after Borderlands 2 so someone has to invent a new storyline. Enter the Pre-Sequel.  To cut to the chase, all you need to know is that the whole game happens on the moon of Elpis, which brings us to the evolution of the entire gameplay. Here you have zero gravity and no air, so for air-breathers, you are pretty fucked when you don't have a canister of oxygen on hand.  Fortunately,...

Sniper Elite 3 is as mediocre as it gets

So you like to play a sniper who goes after his enemy without them ever knowing you were around. Sounds like fun but did you play any of the Sniper Elite games? You have? Then there is nothing new to tell you. Let's get to the jist of this before my fingers fall asleep.  Sniper Elite 3 takes place in Africa during WWII. Not a fun place to be but it has its moments. There are no rogue camels to shoot or recalcitrant Arabs wanting to declare...

Call of Duty: Advance Warfare

With a billion dollar franchise to boot, you can hire just anyone so why not a two time Oscar winner Kevin Spacey? However the question everyone has on their lips is does the game deliver? Does it in any way revitalizes the FPS genre? It's got a spiffy new HUD for display....wow. After COD Ghost, every terrorist organisation has been done to death. Thus COD Ghost was a sharp departure from the previous COD storyline as it does not in anyway...

Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls Ultimate Evil Edition

'We each are our own devil, and we make this world our hell.'. When the initial news of Diablo 3 appeared, I was highly skeptical that Blizzard could deliver a product that would exceed the greatness of the previous 2 games. Lets face it. Diablo 1 created a brand new genre that took the very best elements from some of the greatest games and fused it into an awesome success. The sequel didn't just take things a step further, it transcended...

A return to Fallout's Turn-Based Tactical Combat  Currently on a Midweek Madness Sale on Steam is Shadowrun Returns for only RM7.75* (around USD 2.39. Normal price RM31 or USD 9.56)!

WAGS : Project Root on Steam

(Weekly Affordable Games on Steam) A game of lasers, reflexes, and a story that you won't care about I discovered Steam through their incessant sale pitches, indie games, and a wide plethora of cheap games from new and small developers to the big boys of the gaming business. For this ultimate gaming exercise I will (try to) be buying and reviewing games on steam that are under 5 USD (about the price you'd pay for a pirated game DVD) so that...

Star Wars Commander: May you be Forced into a Rip Off

I have a deep fondness for Star Wars. As a kid, I loved it and even if Lucas was a dufus when it comes to making engaging games, I felt that he could have at least played some before licensing his name and universe to the highest bidder. Now that he's out of the business, makes you wonder what will Disney do to it. Playdom, a mobile game developer, launched this game app to tap into the deep pockets of iOS users before it heads out to the...

Ultra Street Fighter 4

'Handsome fighters never lose.' Capcom's digital demi-DLC of sorts for Super Street Fighter 4 (SSFIV) is a stand alone piece of software much in the vein of SSFIV Arcade Edition. For those who spent their youth at smoke filled video game arcades in the late 80s blowing bus fares for some serious throwdowns on Street Fighter 2 and the plethora of SNK beat em ups. Its highly likely that they will get this latest Capcom offering. I know I did. Being...

It is a Dog's Life for all it is worth

Its a Dog's life...someone once said, if a game can hold the players complete attention for 30 seconds, it means that the developer has succeeded in delivering something special that went far beyond aesthetics & hype. That some went on to conceptualize & develop Destiny, one of the most hotly anticipated game of this year. Of course that observation hold true in todays gaming scene. So many developers have begun churning out demo...
