Splatoon Review (Wii U)

June 8, 2015

When Splatoon was announced everyone was a little skeptical about Nintendo trying to put a stake in the online shooter genre. In a 4 vs. 4 versus four-arena match, the goal is to cover the entire arena in ink while trying to hold off the other team who is trying to do the same. It’s a strange concept and it doesn’t follow the style of a ‘typical shooter’ in trying to get the highest kill count or kill death ratio. Somehow it works, bringing a fun fresh breath into a genre that has gotten seemingly stale over the years.

Fire Emblem Awakening Review (3DS)

Now with quite a few English localized games under their belt, the popularity of the Fire Emblem franchise was waning. It’s been a while since a Fire Emblem game garnered enough respect, and developer Intelligent Systems was considering this as the last game unless it sold well. With them putting all their effort into its conception, does Fire Emblem Awakening deserve its rank among some of the 3DS’ best titles?

When the Halo: The Master Chief Collection was announced I could not contain my excitement. I remember endless days in high school playing Halo 2 online for hours on end. So to bring that back in all its glory, plus an HD remake of the campaign, and 8 multiplayer maps revamped had me ready to go. Unfortunately, quickly after launching the game I realized this was not the game I wanted it to be.
