Left 4 Dead – Review

A look at Valve’s unique take on the zombie survival horror genre

Yup. that’s right, it’s time for me to review the newest dead-heads to the party. As if you couldn’t have seen this one coming. If you’ve know my tastes slightly, you knew I was going to chew into this game’s brains like a hungry zombie at a buffet.  Left 4 Dead hit us just a scant, few weeks back and there’s are hordes of us already addicted. Why? Well if you are asking that question then, as much as I hate to tell people to leave the site, stop reading this and get the game for yourself. That is, of course, if you like first-person shooters and non-stop, heart-pounding, bloody action. This is going to be one of my longer reviews, but that is simply because I can see players still playing this game for a long, long time. It’s amazing to me how deep the game is without actually having that much depth.

Battlefield 3 Weapon Reviews

Battlefield 3 for the Xbox 360, PS3, and PC has an amazing array of weapons to choose from.  Each class has several unique weapons that offer tons of massive firepower.  A lot of the guns that you unlock as you level up are also usable across all the classes.  The arsenal of Battlefield 3 seriously dwarfs weapon selections found in other similar games.  I happen to play assault class in BF3 a lot more than other classes for some reason, so I will highlight my 2 favorite guns to use with assault.  Maybe it is because I enjoy being the medic so much and running across open ground while under heavy fire to use my defibrillator (not really) or because I like to take the Mcoms and use a sub-machine gun up close range (yes, pray and spray look out)

My favorite WWII mod of all time – Darkest Hour

Every retro gamer knows, a lot of great things started with the Unreal engine. Once upon a time an amazing World War II mod known as Red Orchestra: Ostfront was released.  When I first picked up a retail copy (this was years ago mind you) I was excited to try a new WWII shooter, especially one with multiplayer.  I was only skeptical because at the time the famous Source engine had just been released, and this was a mod of Unreal.

Big Mountain 2000 Review – Nintendo 64

Big Mountain 2000, probably one of the worst looking Nintendo 64 games released.  For some reason this game is somewhat rare, especially the cardboard box, and we all know everyone into classic gaming wants one of these for their retro gaming collection.  I’m not sure why the skiers heads look like soup cans, but they scare the hell out of me.  There are so many other great downhill games on the N64 *cough* 1080, Twisted Edge *cough* that it is mostly a time waster to play this one.  And who wants to ski anyways?  Especially in 2000?  I recorded some Big Mountain 2000 for everyone to enjoy, er, maybe?

Earthworm Jim 3D – Review and Retrospective

When Earthworm Jim first hit the console market, many kids tried to find the humor in the game while sifting through the cow tossing strangeness that the franchise has become famous for. Earthworm Jim HD takes that same old feeling and updates it with new features and, of course, drastically improved graphics for a rich plat forming experience. While still retaining the familiar 2D interface, Earthworm Jim HD presents true high definition graphics to remind current gamers of how great plat formers were in the past.
