Resogun (PS4 Exclusive) Review

Hello everyone.

Well, as of last week on Thursday. The Playstation 4 came to the house.

The UPS truck stopped by, the man handed me the giant box, pulled off the bubble wrap, opened the box and saw the sleek black box that is the Playstation 4.

Set up the console, connected to PSN and began my experience with Resogun.



Free for PS Plus members, Resogun is a great game to begin your Playstation experience.

Let's begin.

(No story/plot to the game so we're jumping straight into the presentation)

Presentation

Resogun looks amazing on the Playstation 4. Many particle effects fill the screen with all sorts of colorful explosions and lasers being shot from  all types of directions and dozens upon dozens of enemies populating the screen.

At 1080p running at 60fps, there is no screen tearing or  frame rate drops to happen in this game. Even when some of the biggest of explosions take place on screen, the console will not be burdened by the vast explosions.

It's colorful sci-fi design will be eye candy to many of those who download this game.

Gameplay

Resogun is good, clean fun game of the Playstation game.

The idea is simple.

You have a choice of 3 ships to use, each which have their own unique stats that will either have better damage or will have less damage in favor of another ability, you need to fend off an alien invasion to save the last remaining humans.

This leads to you standing alone against many alien ships zeroing on your ship, firing all sorts of weapons at you to stop you from saving the last few humans.

In other words.

It's stylized side scrolling shooting goodness. It's a fun arcade game to play to challenge your high scores as well as your friends' high scores.

Resogun is one of those games you can turn on after coming back from school or work, turn off your brain and start blasting away at dozens of aliens, raising that multiplyer to get a higher score.

There are also Power Ups to collect during the levels you play on which will give you stronger lasers to blast the alien space ships apart. These power ups make your lasers ridiculously fun to use. You can fly smack dab in the middle of an armada of alien ships only to come out untouched and every space ship destroyed in a manner of seconds. The upgrades don't make you invincible, but they sure will make you feel like you are.

Another cool aspect of the game is that it uses the Dualshock 4 speaker to tell the players things like the main objective of the game, tell players when the 'Overdrive' ability is charged and ready to use, when the player gets an extra life or the primary weapons have been upgraded through picking up a power up.

It's a game that gives a small glimpse into what the PS4 is capable of.

The Verdict

Resogun is a great game to add to your PS4 library.

It doesn't involve gore, getting that quick scope headshot to win the game or run through the map with a tank to help your team.

It's a game that's meant for you to sit down, relax and simply blast away alien spaceships.

With the unique style and colorful explosions and ships populating the screen, it is eye candy for anyone who downloads this title.

It's a nice game to get along with your PS Plus subscription.

Resogun gets an excellent 9 out of 10.

Thanks for reading.

Look for my Playstation 4 console review coming soon.

Call of Duty Black Ops 2 Weapon Guide:M-TAR Assault Rifle

Hello everyone, time for my first weapon guide of Black Ops 2. Today we're looking at the starting assault rifle, the M-TAR. History The Micro-Tar is a micro version of the TAR-21 rifle. It's designed to take advantage of a shorter barrel which means decreased recoil but increased accuracy. Designed for special fores units, it is capable of converting to different ammo variants such as the NATO standard 5.56 cartridge and the 9mm submachine gun round. It is also designed to be capable of attaching a Suppressor, as of 2009 a grenade launcher was being designed to attach to the M-TAR, the M-TAR can attach the M203PI grenade launcher. If you're a FPS veteran then you saw this weapon first in Battlefield 3 as part of the Close Quarters DLC, for COD veterans we saw this weapon's bigger brother, the TAR-21 in Modern Warfare 2. I'm warning you now, the M-TAR is not the TAR-21 we saw in Modern Warfare 2. Multiplayer Stats, Attachments and Performance In gam

Retro Gazette Reviews:Batman Returns SNES Review

Hello everyone. Welcome to another one of my Retro Reviews. Today we're going to be looking at a personal favorite of mine from the Super Nintendo era. Batman Returns. Story Music If you can't tell all ready from the intro video above, the music to Batman Returns for the SNES sounds great and does a good job of recreating some of the songs we heard in the film. My personal favorite stage music is from Stage 7 when you enter Arctic World, The Liberation of Gotham track sounds amazing in 16 bit audio. It's strange to review the music in a video game but the audio stands out so much and does an amazing job, again of recreating the films' soundtrack. Presentation The graphics and detail of Batman Returns is very good and ironically is much more colorful than the Tim Burton film. Gotham City, although currently suffering from a clown riot looks fantastic and Konami yet again does a good job of recreating scenes from the film, you see all these backgro
