The writing has been on the wall for this news for some time now as there hasn’t been a new Spider-Man game either announced or even hinted at being in development since 2014’s awful The Amazing Spider-Man 2 tie-in game, but Canadian developer Bennox will no longer be making any more Spider-Man console games. Like nearly every…
Movie games being sold to retail have gone the way of the dinosaur or the dodo, but no one sent the memo to Activision. While everyone else pushes free-to-play match-3 games to mobile devices based on popular films, Activision is still busy producing games based on properties like last year’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot, The Amazing Spider-Man…
I always wanted to get into Puzzle Quest. Back in 2007 when it was released on the DS and PSP, the game blew up from its humble origins thanks to critical praise and hype on all the gaming podcasts I listened to at the time. Try as I might though, it didn’t quite “click” with me, perhaps…
Disney Infinity is a lot of different things to a lot of different people. Some enjoy the freedom of creating their own play sets and playing the creations of others, while others prefer a more traditionally structured video game experience found in the game’s play set offerings. If you read my review of either the Disney Infinity…
In its short time in the video game spotlight, Acclaim’s Turok franchise was a lot of things: A series of traditional first-person shooters, a multi-player focuses arena shooter, several side-scrollers and overhead action games mixed with beat-em-up and vehicular gameplay. That all being said, I didn’t expect what I got when I slotted the Game…
2002 saw the release of two major franchise sequels from Acclaim on the sixth generation of consoles. The big fall release was the infamous Turok: Evolution, which arrived on every piece of hardware available at the time: The GameCube, PlayStation 2, Xbox, PC, and even a spin-off on the Game Boy Advance. The second arrived at a…
As games and consoles moved into the third dimensions, companies worked to bring everyone’s favourite IP’s into this bold new era of gaming: Mario, MegaMan, Castlevania, Metal Gear, The Legend of Zelda, etc. each with their own varying degrees of success. One franchise that missed out on the first wave of 3-D revivals was Nintendo’s popular…
GCPD Lockdown, the latest piece of story DLC for Batman: Arkham Knight, is another reminder of why I’m forever grateful I didn’t plunk down the extra money for the pricey Season Pass for this game. Outside of the Batgirl mission, the narrative missions for both Harley Quinn and Red Hood were insultingly short and added little to the…
Cover based shooters existed before the year 2006, a few examples being the WinBack series, Namco’s Kill Switch or even Time Crisis in the arcade’s. Ask most people though what game they think of when they think cover based shooter, and they’ll probably say Microsoft’s big game for the Xbox 360 that year, Gears of War. What I didn’t know is that earlier…
Something I don’t do very often when it comes to writing reviews is to look on what other people have written, a trend I broke with Turok 3: Shadows of Oblivion. I personally really loved the first Turok Game Boy outing, and while disappointed by the simplicity in its sequel, I still enjoyed it much more than…
