Corsair MM400 Mouse Mat Review
Apr 21, 2016
The usefulness of a “gaming mouse mat” is one that’s subjective. Some people are happy with the standard mouse pad that you can get from an Office Depot or Best Buy, others look for a sleek, slim, and smooth surface to provide the best accuracy when gaming. It’s the type of thing you didn’t know you needed until you start using it.
Corsair M65 Pro RGB Gaming Mouse Review
Apr 21, 2016
Corsair’s latest mouse is the third iteration on the M65, named the M65 Pro RGB. Aimed to be for pro gamers, and those who competitively play first-person shooters, is anything but. It’s a well-rounded mouse that caters well to FPS games, but ensures accuracy across all other types of games without impedance. This is easily the best mouse Corsair has ever designed and released, and is now one of the best mice I’ve used in years.
Stories: The Path of Destinies Review
Apr 20, 2016
Reynaldo is an adventurer, one that seems to always get into mischief or trouble, at least that’s how I interpreted this colorful character that players control during this 5 to 8 hour campaign. What exactly is Stories: Path of Destinies though? I myself asked that very question as I’d heard little to no information about this game prior. What I can say immediately is that this is one game that I absolutely love. So sit down and let me tell you about tale as old as time.
Fallout 4 – Wasteland Workshop Review
Apr 19, 2016
Wasteland Workshop is not a good piece of DLC or an otherwise worthy add-on for Fallout 4. If anything, it should be a free content update rather than something you pay for. Wasteland Workshop is dumb, and not in that cute, affectionate way. It’s a waste of a player’s time, even if you enjoy the settlement building aspects of Fallout 4. It does have redeeming values, but they are not enough for what you’re getting out of this add-on.
Salt and Sanctuary Review
Apr 11, 2016
Salt and Sanctuary is 2D Dark Souls. Let’s get that out of the way right off the bat. There’s really no getting around it, Salt and Sanctuary is inspired, immensely, by the Souls series. Although, Salt and Sanctuary has its Ska Studios signature art to stand out in a sea growing of Souls like games. In the end, it’s solid, it’s fun, and it’s a great 2D translation of Souls series.
Quantum Break Review
Apr 01, 2016
Time is always running, constantly moving forward. Events transpire around the world and the idea of going back to change horrible events has always been an aspect of time travel that seems to resonate with people. Going back to change catastrophic events, win the lottery, or stop yourself from making the wrong choices. Yet are there consequences to those changes as well? “Time is an egg… and that egg is fucked” has never been a more appropriate thought, especially when it comes to the latest video game from Remedy, the creators of Max Payne and Alan Wake. Quantum Break is here to show players how time can be fun again, even when very bad things are happening.
Slain! Review
Mar 31, 2016
Slain! from Wolf Brew Games is finally here, after many delays and challenges, this gorgeous retro-inspired hack ‘n’ slash brawler is here to spill blood. It unfortunately cuts itself on its own rough edges. This game was a Kickstarter success, but in its final form it has few redeeming values to save it from being anything but pleasing to the eye.
Fallout 4 – Automatron Review
Mar 30, 2016
Fallout 4 was Saving Content’s Game of the Year, and the first DLC content for the game, Automatron doesn’t quite deliver on its initial entry, but is a great excuse to return to the Commonwealth. It’s not as exciting or as transformative as I was hoping for, but it was the right length and the right amount of entertaining to play. Automatron does provide some new gameplay benefits that help this otherwise standard story arc become something meaningful.
Tom Clancy’s The Division Review
Mar 29, 2016
Ubisoft owns the rights to the Tom Clancy brand, and as such have been releasing games in his name that haven’t been based on books or needing his estate’s approval. This doesn’t mean the games that have been released have been bad, the recently released Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege proved that. With Tom Clancy’s The Division, it is set in a post-apocalyptic New York that’s been ravaged by a virus spread through money that’s plausible as a game, and an idea hatched from the mind of the late Tom Clancy himself.
ADR1FT Review
Mar 28, 2016
Adventure games have the ability to take you to foreign or otherwise alien places, and Three One Zero’s ADR1FT is exactly that, because there’s nothing more alien than space. ADR1FT is game one would call a walking simulator, but here it is more of a floating simulator. Having played ADR1FT, it has me considering owning an Oculus Rift. Though, without VR it feels like you’re observing the situation laid out before you rather than experiencing it first-hand. Often feel repetitive and lacking in exciting events, ADR1FT manages to be a visual splendor that must be seen in 2D or 3D.
Trackmania Turbo Review
Mar 18, 2016
Trackmania has been primarily a PC series for the past 13 years. The game series has created quite the following over the past few years, with server customization to serve up nearly endless replayability. Developer Nadeo and publisher Ubisoft are now delivering the fast, insane gravity and physics-defying racer not only to PC, but to Xbox One and PlayStation 4 for the first time, the aptly named Trackmania Turbo. And it’s a series that couldn’t benefit more from a wider release, and consoles now have the capability for this game’s scale. Trackmania Turbo is a game that I can’t stop playing.
HITMAN – Prologue and Paris Review
Mar 15, 2016
HITMAN comes more or less completed, with additions releasing over the next several months. IO Interactive has listened to their community and even gone back to previous to learn what made their past games such a success. In that, this base series of levels for HITMAN, is a game that goes back to its roots while bringing modern design and a story that fills in gaps without getting in the way of the star: the gameplay. It stands to be the best Hitman game yet.
Just Cause 3: Sky Fortress DLC Review
Mar 11, 2016
Just Cause 3’s Sky Fortress DLC might be the best 5 hours spent in Just Cause 3 yet. It is hard to think of playing this game without the additions this content brings as it is such a great improvement. I can say that none of this feels like it was content purposefully held back, and has been worth the wait. Just Cause 3‘s first DLC is an impressive start for what could be a great Expansion Pass.
Gears of War: Ultimate Edition for Windows 10 Review
Mar 09, 2016
For the unaware, this is in fact the second time that Gears of War has come to PC, which debuted alongside the Xbox 360 version. Fast forward almost ten years for a remastered version, dubbed the “Ultimate Edition” which came out for Xbox One, and now for PC on Windows 10. While not much has changed, the visual options and fidelity are what set this version apart from its console companion. Gears of War: Ultimate Edition for Windows 10 is more than just a port to PC, it’s a statement about presenting emerging technology and proving that you can go home again.
ASTRO A40 TR Headset + MixAmp Pro TR Review
Mar 07, 2016
ASTRO Gaming is back with its third generation A40 headset. The TR in this ASTRO A40 is for “Tournament Ready”, meaning there’s nothing additional you need to buy or equip in order to take this headset for pro-level gaming. That doesn’t mean you have to be a tournament-level gaming to use and/or appreciate this headset. ASTRO Gaming makes great headsets, and are universally known as luxury/premium headsets, a fact that was proven while using them, but they are worth it for any gamer that appreciates great audio.
