Bioshock Infinite: Burial At Sea: Episode 1 Review

Well.....I literally finished Burial At Sea a few minutes ago, good god, why did I pay 15 bucks for this? This....is Burial At Sea. Story It's December 31st, 1958 in Rapture. Booker DeWitt is approached by a mysterious woman named Elizabeth. Elizabeth is there to help Booker find a missing girl named Sally, a girl believed to be dead by Booker, but Elizabeth says that Booker may be wrong. Booker and Elizabeth begin there search for Sally. It is a very short story, maybe the shortest I have ever experienced. It did keep my interest until the end....but the ending is where I began to regret my purchase. I don't want to spoil anything, but let me just say, it's going to be an ending that will rattle your brain. Presentation Burial At Sea takes us back to the last day of Rapture's beauty. We see the elegant clothing shops, cigarette stores, record stores; a Rapture that many fans might not be expecting, in a good way. I was stunned at how amazing R...

DmC:Devil May Cry (2013) Review

WAIT A MINUTE!!!!!!! I know that many of you dislike this game because of how much they changed Dante's looks. Hair Gate. I know this Dante is not the Dante we know and love from DMC 1-4. Trust me on this though guys. This is still a good DmC game! Story The story of DmC sets us in a world that is being run by demons. Demons are running the news to misinform and manipulate humanity for their own gain. Keeping the human race docile and unaware of the truth behind the curtain. (Spoilers Ahead) Dante, the son of the demon warrior Sparda and angel Eva. Is a young adult, not giving a damn about the world or what happens to it. With one exception, he hates demons. Soon, he's given a reason to care. The demons begin to hunt him down to kill him, to ensure that no one is alive that may stop the demon's plans. Dante doesn't understand why until his brother Virgil finds him. Virgil informs Dante of his once forgotten past. He helps Dante remember who his p...

My 5 Favorite Games Of The 7th Gen.

Hello everybody. Well guys, the eighth  generation is upon us. I think it's time we reminisced; think back to all the great times we have had throughout these last few years. Many games have been made during the 7th  generation, some that are my absolute favorite games from the Seventh Generation. These are my personal 5 favorite games of the Seventh Generation 5. Fallout 3 Fallout 3 was actually my first open world RPG that I played. My friends had talked about the game a lot in school. My friend two doors down would not stop talking about how great it was. When I finally got my 360 he let me borrow it. Awesomeness ensued. I fell in love with Fallout 3 with the ironically relaxing experience of the game. Listening to The Ink Spots "I Don't Want To Set The World On Fire" meanwhile blasting a Super Mutant's head clean off with my laser rifle.  I loved the  freedom you had with the game. There was no path set in stone that you had to follow in or...

Batman: Arkham Origins(2013) Review

Hello everyone. Welcome to another review. Let me address the elephant in the room. This game has many mixed reviews. Some say this game is a great addition to the Arkham series, some however do not like it and think it's a stain on the otherwise polished design of the Arkham series. I love this series to death. However, the Arkham fan that I am will be kept at bay. I will knock this game down a few pegs. Story It's Christmas Eve in Gotham City. Black Mask has decided to start an operation in order to kill The Batman. He calls in 8 assassins from across the globe to see which one will take down The Bat first. Batman decides to take it upon himself to stop Black Mask and all 8 assassins, so that no innocents are harmed in the process of hunting Batman. It's a good story for an Arkham game. It takes it's sweet time building up twists and foreshadowing character reveals. However, do not let that 'Origins' title of the game confuse you. The story is not...

My Thoughts On The Next Generation Of Gaming

Hello everyone. Thank you for taking a moment to read my post. This is not going to be a very lengthy post. I have written on the 8th generation before. A majority of talking points when discussing the 8th generation I've already talked about. With that said. Let's get to the point. The next generation of console gaming is almost upon us. In 3 weeks the next generation will begin with the release of the Playstation 4. Many of us have made our pre-orders. Reserved our special bundles and are waiting eagerly for the next generation. I am as excited as the next guy or gal gamer but I want to give my 2 cents on what I think we will begin to see this next generation. In my opinion, I think we will begin to see new genres of games. New levels of immersion that some games could only imagine of reaching in the last generation. We're seeing it now with the Dual Shock 4 touch pad being used in Infamous: Second Son as a fingerprint scanner to progress in the game. Th...

Doom 3: BFG Edition Review

Hello everyone. Doom. The grandfather of the FPS genre that sets you against the legions of Hell. It was the FPS game that everyone talked about in the early 90s. It was the most popular FPS of the 90s, so popular that it was ported to every console available at the time. The Sega 32x, Atari Jaguar, Gameboy Advance, Super Nintendo and the PSX. Doom is the most iconic FPS game of the FPS genre. Sure, Call of Duty may be the most popular FPS game of the genre, but it still has nothing on Doom. I recently had the opportunity to play the BFG Edition of Doom 3. A version of the game that had Doom 3, the expansion to Doom 3 "Resurrection of Evil" a bonus expansion "Lost Missions" and Dooms 1&2. Let's begin. Story It is the year 2145. You play as a marine who has been transferred to Mars City, a UAC research facility currently in the process of making Mars a second Earth. While there, you discover that there have been many accidents on the base tha...
