When Remember Me was announced last year, it seemed like a smart new franchise for Capcom, who was faltering with Resident Evil at the time. They needed something unique and captivating to win people over. So when we were introduced to Nilin, a memory hunter who is suffering from amnesia in the year 2084, it sounded like an awesome dystopian game (a theme we’ve seen in quite a few recent releases). Remember ...

The sequel to Metro 2033 is coming soon - this Tuesday, in fact, but it almost drowned when THQ went bankrupt. Luckily, it was sold to Deep Silver (the same folks who publish Dead Island) and they brought Metro: Last Light back to life. If the original is any indicator, the sequel might be worth checking out. Metro 2033 received generally favorable reviews and there’s no shortage of fun in post-apocalyptic ...

Starcraft 2: Heart Of The Swarm Intro Kerrigan is back and she is out for blood in the new Starcraft 2 expansion, Heart of the Swarm, athough really, saying this is an expansion is a bit of an understatement. In the age of DLC for just about every high profile game, I appreciate that Blizzard takes its expansions so seriously and gives us so much for our money. By Mikeoldboy Starcraft 2: Heart of The Swarm ...

While waiting for that new Sim City to work, I've taken to casual city building games on my iTouch to show off my city planning skills; namely My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic and The Simpsons: Tapped Out. I figure that if I am going to waste my time building a virtual city, it might as well be a city based off a successful cartoon franchise or two.Rather than review them individually, I'll just compare ...

Zoo Tycoon 2: It Has Literally Nothing To Do With Money I'm pretty sure most human beings who have owned a computer have played Zoo Tycoon. The first one. That was one CD that survived puberty – I had both Zoo Tycoon Complete Collection disks and I went ahead and reinstalled them a few years back. I've been making insane zoos ever since and raking in thousands and thousands of dollars. By Ghost Lily Release ...

Plague Inc. Review Eradicating the entire world with your own disease seems a bit morbid at first, but Plague Inc. makes it shamelessly addicting. There are tons of games in the pandemic genre, but none of them are as refined as Plague Inc. By Mikeoldboy Plagues In Plague Inc. There are 8 types of plagues, from bacteria to bio-weapon. The difficulties vary. Personally I thought the Fungus (3rd level) was th ...

Borderlands 2: Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt DLC Review By Mikeoldboy I love Borderlands 2. There is no other way around it. Blending a Diablo-style loot system with the first person shooter seemed so obvious after Borderlands that it’s hard to believe it wasn't done until 2009. Now here we are in 2013 and Borderlands is still your one stop shop to shoot n’ loot. I am going to assume that if you’re reading ...

Chivalry: Medieval Warfare was released a few months ago but after a recent sale on Steam the game has become inundated with a horrible plague: New players who have no clue what the hell they are doing. People have complained about Noobs before, but as someone who had a pretty consistent 1.0 Kill/Death Ratio, It’s safe to say my jump to a 3.5 KDR was no accident. So whether you were aware the game has frien ...

 A Look At Some Of The Changes In This Years Madden NFL 13 Despite being from the UK since the days of my good ol Sega Mega Drive I have had a love for the Madden NFL series. The more modern Madden games offer such a fantastic simulation approach to the sport that it can seem a little overwhelming to new comers. But I actually think that Madden NFL 13 does a great job in introducing you to the way of the NF ...

WWE 13: Dissected, Weighed, and Heated in the Microwave for Dinner The WWE13 Roster – 3 Leaping Lanny Poffos out of 5 by Jumpman The players in WWE 13 have been graphically improved.  That much is good.  Now overall, the WWE rosters aren’t that bad, but I guess I wasn’t overly impressed with the depth of the playables.  It would be impossible to include everybody, but you don’t have Hardcore Holly?  He’s no ...

FIFA 13 Improvements As a long time fan of the Fifa series of video games dating way back to the Mega Drive days and Fifa 13 scores a goal. Fifa 2004 introduced something that we take for granted these days and that is the career/manager mode. I look forward to this each year. Fifa 13 by far is the best career mode in a Fifa game to date and I wanted to share with you a few of the things that I love this ye ...

The Testament of Sherlock Holmes Due to a very small amount of release copies for The Testament of Sherlock Holmes I was forced to reschedule my gaming time and replace it with studies. Then after about a month of walking around, tearing a hole in my carpet, naaah just kidding! I am a student, I can’t afford a carpet, but finally I got my copy of The Testament of Sherlock Holmes. I don’t know if this was a ...

Dishonored by Jason Bourne Dishonored has taken many of us by surprise this year. It really has not had a whole lot of hype which really is a crying shame because more people need to play this game. Some of the guys who worked on Dishonored worked on the amazing Bioshock 2 and it does kind of show in both Dishonored game play and the setting. Dishonored has been pigeon holed as a stealth game and I is a dis ...
