The objective was to extract a target POW. The base was heavily guarded, but managing to sneak through was easy. An interrogated guard tells me the location of the target and then collapses into an unconscious slump when the tranquilizer dart hits his head. Find the target, Fulton him out, and get to the extraction zone. This is just a fraction of what Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain has to offer.

Upon announcement, I was very excited for Until Dawn. I am a huge fan of both horror flicks and interactive games, so needless to say, this game’s premise was music to my ears. My only worry was with this game’s execution; would the folks at Supermassive Games be able to conjure up a good plot, interesting characters, memorable performances, spooky environments, and a solid accompanying soundtrack? These are all essential elements needed to produce a complete interactive horror game, and seeing as I knew little to nothing about the developer’s catalog or credibility, I was not sure if they were up to the challenge. As far as AAA exclusives for consoles go, it’s real dry out here in these gaming streets, and we are all waiting for that next big exclusive to save us from dehydration. So is Until Dawn that next big Playstation hit, or will we have to wait next year for the likes of Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End and Horizon: Zero Dawn?

Just what exactly is Rocket League? A short answer would be, it’s the fusion of demolition derby and the popular sport of soccer. Now on paper, this might not sound like the best idea, but the talented folks at Psyonix are determined to prove that these two foreign elements can combine to make a highly enjoyable game. I had the opportunity to play the early access beta, and I found it to be highly enjoyable. I thought it would definitely be a huge hit, if given more polish. Fast forward to the game’s launch, I finally got my hands on the final product. So, was Rocket League’s potential fully realized, or was it a complete disaster?

When I think of the Mortal Kombat series I have mixed emotions… Obviously I think back to my childhood and remember constantly being destroyed by my brother on Sega Genesis. I also think back to playing Mortal Kombat: Armageddon and Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance, which is where I thought the series would die. After the success of the franchise reboot, Mortal Kombat (2011), I was really excited to get my hands on Mortal Kombat X. I was really curious to see if Mortal Kombat X would continue to lead the franchise back to its glory days.

Abyss Odyssey: Extended Dream Edition is a remastered version of the original game, which was released last year on the last generation consoles and windows. It is a rogue-like style game with procedural generated levels. This means that after death, level layouts, enemies you encounter, and the goodies you find will be considerably different. The story is pretty straight forward; a warlock’s dreams is negatively infecting reality and it’s up to Katrien, a formidable warrior actually created from the warlock’s dreams, to venture deep into the abyss to find and defeat said warlock. This premise is not very original, but a solid gameplay experience is what players look for most in this type of game. So the burning question is, does Abyss Odyssey: Extended Dream Edition prove to be another solid entry in the rogue-like genre, or does it fall a bit short?
