Reader Review: Deadpool (PS3, 360, PC)
Posted on July 8th, 2013 by
One of Marvel Comic’s most wisecracking, insanely silly (literally) anti-heroes now has his own game! Play as The Merc With a Mouth, Deadpool, in this third-person action brawler shooter game for PS3, 360, and PC (PS3 version reviewed here). Shoot and slash your way through all manner of bad guys, interact with other popular Marvel characters, and enjoy the off the wall raucous humor that Deadpool fans will love! Speaking of fans, my brother Jeff’s favorite Marvel character IS Deadpool, so I decided to let him take a stab at reviewing this one.
Reader Review: Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon (360, PS3, PC)
Posted on June 14th, 2013 by
Get ready for a totally tubular, radical blast from the past with Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon. It’s an expansion for Far Cry 3, but you don’t need the original game to play it. Just take every staple from any cheesy 80’s action movie, mix in a large dose of humor, and you get Blood Dragon. Since it seemed like something more up my brother Jeff’s alley, I had him guest review it (360 version reviewed here).
Reader Review: Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity (3DS)
Posted on April 26th, 2013 by
The Mystery Dungeon series of games have a long running history in Japan and even here in the US, too! Also called Rogue-likes (because they’re a lot like an old PC title by the same name), these games have you exploring randomly generated dungeon mazes with tricks, traps, and enemies every step of the way. It’s your job to nab as many useful treasures as you can and make it to the exit alive so you can keep your stash. Many Mystery Dungeon titles use popular characters from other games, like Torneko and Yangus from Dragon Quest, Pokemon, and even an old Namco arcade game called The Tower of Druaga! My brother Jeff loved The Nightmare of Druaga so much as a kid that he even asked for a birthday cake of it (I do have a picture of that). So since Jeff loves Mystery Dungeon games AND Pokemon, I thought he’d be a perfect fit for this review.
Reader Review: SimCity (PC)
Posted on March 29th, 2013 by
When I was in Middle School or High School (can’t remember), the first SimCity game came out and it was a huge hit. I even remember what the box for the PC game looked like! One of my friends would even save and print out his city layout on printer paper and show them to me at school! Many years later, I bought and downloaded the Super Nintendo version of SimCity, one of the first Virtual Console games available on the Wii. I remembered how addicting it was when I rented it back in the day, so I wanted my younger brother Jeff to experience it, too. He instantly loved it and a few days later, he had bought SimCity 4 for his computer! So since my brother Jeff enjoys SimCity so much, I decided to let him take a stab at reviewing it here!
