The Walking Dead: Season 2 Overall Review (PC)

WalkingDeadSeason2BoxArt

Telltale Games recently finished The Walking Dead: Season 2, which is the sequel to The Walking Dead: Season 1. Although I enjoyed the first installment of the franchise for what it was, I was not part of the camp going gaga over it. When the second season came around I wanted to see what new elements could be brought to the series. Would the series get some new fresh interesting characters? Would the second season see any returning characters from the first season (besides Clem)? How does Clementine develop as a character? Those were the burning questions in my mind…

Assassin’s Creed Rogue Review (PS3)

Assassin’s Creed Rogue received very little attention when it was released last year, and for good reason. It was a last gen only title that was being released the same day as Ubisoft’s flagship next gen exclusive Assassin’s Creed Unity. It also didn’t help that Rogue’s gameplay seemed like nothing more than a rehash of Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag, whereas Unity was adding several new innovations to the series formula.

Part of this is because Unity had an absurd amount of glitches during its release that made it almost unplayable for certain people, whereas Rogue was fairly stable for the most part. But is the game itself actually worth playing?

Life Is Strange Episode 1 Review (PS4)

Looking to make their presence felt in the adventure game market, Square Enix has teamed up with DONTNOD Entertainment, the team who brought us Remember Me. Life is Strange’s story revolves around female protagonist, Max Caulfield, admirer of analog cameras and indie rock music, who moves back from Seattle to her childhood hometown after five years to pursue her dream of being a photographer at Blackwell Academy, a private art school for twelth grade seniors. After successfully altering the outcome of a life threatening situation, she discovers that she now has the ability to reverse time. With this newfound power, she can go back in time and change future events to her liking. Our protagonist’s ordinary life quickly gets turned upside down, when she not only has to survive daily school life, but she also has to adapt to her newfound powers, rekindle her relationship with her best friend, Chloe, who she did not keep in touch with after she moved to Seattle, and decipher the meaning, or perhaps message behind the recurring nightmare she keeps having.

Fantasy Life Review (3DS)

Fantasy life Boxart

As a fan of RPGs, Fantasy Life struck my eye at a time when it was being overlooked in favor of Super Smash Bros. For the Nintendo 3DS. Although the art style and multiplayer features pulled me in to become an owner of Fantasy Life, I still had low expectations due to it being a handheld game and lack of publicity by Nintendo. My actual experience was something I never expected…

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U Review

With the launch of the Wii U, people were hyped for where the next installment of the Smash Bros. franchise would go. With the 3DS version released, some were not happy that the roster would be the same on Wii U. Despite that, people were excited to learn that they would be able to play with their GameCube controllers and in HD for the first time. Will this game give naysayers a reason to buy a Wii U, or will you just dig out your GameCube and play Super Smash Bros. Melee instead?
