Kid Icarus: Uprising (3DS) Review

Image

Kid Icarus finally got a revival, it’s move to 3D was drastically different and a lot of fun.

I never really got into the original Kid Icarus partly because I was awful at it, either way until Super Smash Bros Brawl I never would have imagined how much of an important IP the game was. Pit was one of my favorite characters to play as in Super Smash Bros Brawl. I was originally quite skeptical because I had never really ventured into the genre of on the rails shooters apart from Lylat Wars on the N64(which I loved), and also the line Pit said in the trailer “Sorry to keep you waiting!” IT’S BEEN 25 YEARS PIT! Anyway on with the review.

Super Meat Boy (PC) Review

SuperMeatBoy

I knew before reviewing this that I was going to review this game highly, as the second game I ever purchased on Steam the first being Plants Vs Zombies. Super Meat Boy is an incredibly polished, difficult game that is incredibly rewarding. I’m going to make a bold statement here as a bit of a Mario fanboy and say that the controls feel as slick if not slicker than a Mario game due to the split second reactions needed and the sense of control when in mid-air. Read on for more information..

Dungeon Defenders (PC) Review

Image

Dungeon Defenders is a Tower Defence style game which sees you protecting the Eternia Crystal.

Dungeon Defenders is a game I played last year over the Christmas holidays with my brother. I put tons of hours into the game (54 hours according to Steam), it’s quite addictive however after playing multiplayer so much Singleplayer doesn’t interest me. If you have friends or love action and tower defence games read on.

Project/ Games Portfolio Update #1

Image

A map I am creating In Source SDK, hoping to eventually show graphical fidelity in my design when finished.

I’m planning on taking a course in game design if I manage to achieve the grades necessary and sort out the incredibly boring UCAS stuff. Anyway one of the Universities I looked at asked for a Games porfolio, and so I’m planning on doing a couple of games In Gamemaker, possibly learning some flash and making games or mods, making some nice looking SDK maps, creating some chip tunes, possibly some maps for Left 4 Dead 2 and doing some concept art.

A Game I bought recently – Don’t Starve

ds_darkness_1920x1200

Don’t step into the darkness, oh and don’t starve either!

Another great game which a Youtube channel basically got me to buy, which is why I get annoyed at companies such as Nintendo which started taking away the money people make off Let’s Plays because for some games it really helps market them, for example Don’t Starve for me. On with the Review…

A Game I bought recently – Cube World (ALPHA)


01

The voxel based beauty that is Cube World.

Holy **** was I hyped for this game! Anyway after that extremely formal beginning I want to first of all tell you how I came to hear about Cube World. I found out about this game from a Youtuber called Inthelittlewood (also known as Martyn) a member of the Yogscast. The Alpha video showed me that the game featured amazing randomly generated worlds, tons of creatures, dungeons and weapon customization. The world also gets progressively more difficult the further you go from where you spawned and leveling is infinite. There’s also a couple of amazing methods of transport. Read on to find out more!

A Game I bought recently – PAYDAY 2

payday-2-02

The birthday parties just weren’t earning them enough money.

Payday 2 is an interesting game, its based around heists and looking familiar to the film Point Break though I’m not sure if it’s supposed to do so. The game has you playing as either Hoxton, Dallas, Wolf or Chains. The main progression through the game is done through unlocking new weapons, armour, masks and progressing through the four different skill trees to help you take down enemies or increase your stealth…

Why I love…Timesplitters Future Perfect

 

cortez

This Vin Diesel Look-alike Cortez is Timesplitters main protagonist.

There is a reason why people cry out for Crytek (good choice of words) to make a new Timesplitters game, or a remake or a HD collection. It’s because Timesplitters was awesome, when I got round to play it on the original Xbox it was way into the next generation, and so a lot of the games didn’t really grab my attention, but Timesplitters did and I wasn’t expecting it to, hence my save file on it just being called “V”. Read on to find out why I love Timesplitters Future Perfect.
