Dead Space 3 (2013)
Best game of 2013!
okay it's still early in the year and there's plenty of great titles coming out this year including the highly anticipated Bioshock:Infinite, most games that came out in late 2012 and most games coming out this year even will have a hard time competing with this absolute perfect sequel to the Dead Space series.
The game starts off with a lot of action much like the second game in the series, and boy does it deliver. The action is intense and the graphics are the best I have seen in a long time, along with some of the most beautiful backdrops in gaming history. the game has plenty of side quest along with great back story's with the characters involved in the side quest enough to keep you playing for hours and hours just with the side quest alone, they also blend with the main story very nicely if i do say so myself.
the voice acting was done greatly with plenty of emotion and plenty of feeling, it really helps the game shine along with something everyone will love, the new, never seen before weapon crafting system. This system is amazing and you will find yourself spending hours on end just making new weapons with the materials found throughout the game, for example: I made a fully automatic bull pup rifle with attached shotgun underneath and for my sidearm(which it doesn't have to be a sidearm if you want you can add another primary weapon)I constructed a revolver with a very strong bayonet. with that being said the weapon crafting is genius and my hats off to visceral games for adding it in the game.
one thing I hear people complaining about is the co-op system, a lot of people i talk to think that the co-op will mean that when someone isn't playing along with you that their will be an annoying AI character next to you the whole time much like resident evil started doing in 4-6, however this is not the case. They kept it old school Dead Space with the frightening feeling of being alone all the time...if you choose to play campaign alone the AI character will leave after every cut scene which like i said leaves you completely alone the entire game, so no worries to those who are worried cause i was worried at first to ^_^
the game features plenty of upgrades with a great story, great voice acting and very good graphics all put together to make a perfect Action/survival horror game.
Im surprised that it only received an 8.3 on here when the first two stand at a solid 9.0, simply because this is the best one of the series! game informer gives a nice 9.75/10 and most other professional game reviewers give it a high as hell rating with no complaints
I say this is a must for all dead space fans and a must for anyone looking to play an amazing action/survival horror game
DO NOT!! miss out on this absolute perfect gem of a sequel from the Dead Space franchise
V/H/S (2012)
My review of V/H/S. CALLING ALL HORROR FANS!
First off let me say that I watch horror films constantly, I freaking LOVE IT! I've seen em all from the scariest ghost movies and scariest exorcism movies to the scariest ones in general and I am in no way trying to say this is the best however its a damn good one, well worth a watch for most horror fans or someone who just likes a good scare every now and again. With all that being said I can say with good promise that this one delivers the chills and a nice well thought out story in each segment. The movie starts off with some crooked guys causing havoc and talking about starting up a certain "industry" through video. So blah blah blah they end up in an old mans house, it is there they discover a bunch of other VHS tapes of a bunch of horrifying stuff. the movie plays out with 5 different tapes being played throughout the movie and after each is done it goes right back to the main story at hand which of course is the tale of the crooked guys looking for a certain tape. Each tape tells a terrifying story, all of them extremely scary as hell! also very well thought in story for each one, each tape has an interesting yet very scary/twisted story with a nice twist at the end of each one that kinda makes you go "huhhh, so that's what that's all about" but each with a satisfying scare and a haunting feeling left over. The movie is directed by 8 different people including the talented scare master ti west(new and not the best but he sure knows how to make stuff pop out at ya quite well) along with the others this movie ended up quite nice, if you'r looking for a really good/haunting horror film or if you just wanna cuddle up with the girlfriend or wife its a great film that delivers what it was going for. Definitely check it out its on netflix now!
Far Cry 3 (2012)
Amazing installment in the Far Cry series!
I have been waiting for a game like this for a long long time, it has all the elements of a great FPS RPG that most people look for. Great characters, great story, absolutely BEAUTIFUL graphics and gameplay that is out of this world.
This installment took a different direction than the first two, it takes the level design elements of the first Far Cry and the RPG aspect of the second but with a lot more interesting stuff added, just about everything you can do in the first and second, you can do in this one which it makes it that much more fun when it basically brings back the level design of the first one and adds the elements from the second as i said before. The game is simply amazing with a lot of fun stuff to do and a whole different game experience unlike any other, the weapon selection is fantastic! and the game definitely brings back nostalgia for the farcry fans.
sure there are some flaws like screen tearing in the consoles versions , however it is only noticeable when your looking for it...the game otherwise is all around fantastic!
be sure to pick this beauty up! don't miss out!
Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare (2010)
A fantastic add on!!!
Ah...zombies, what any gamer can appreciate. Red Dead Redemption was and still is an amazing game, unlike any I have ever played before, so what could make a great DLC add on? you guessed it! zombies!
The game simply has a great engine(euphoria)and pulls out all the stops in every way, so why not add an extension story? a lot of gamers out there appreciate a good zombie game and this game along with the engine make for a fantastic zombie game equal to that of left 4 dead, resident evil and so on. This add on is pretty long and equal to the length of a real stand alone video game, great story with awesome cut scenes and a great way of transitioning from the main story with very promising action that keeps you on your toes and coming back for more!
this add on may not be for everyone and there are few glitches present but this is rare DLC content that no one should pass up.
all around a great add on and something gamers shouldn't pass up, go kill some zombies and enjoy the undead nightmare!
