Perfect. I want you to pay close attention to this particular word; I’ll be using it quite a bit during this review. On the surface, Mutant Mudds resembles a long-lost 8/16-bit title, what with its sprite-based graphics and its chiptune soundtrack composed of the bleeps and bloops gamers of that era (present company included) are so completely gaga over. And for a moment it appears to be just that. But after a stage or two of this delightful 3DS title, I began to realize that Mutant Mudds...

Ah, Bethesda.  What can be said about Skyrim that hasn’t already been said about 2006’s ultra-powerhouse hit Oblivion? Well as it turns out, quite a lot can be said because the anticipation for the latest Elder Scrolls was met with an astonishing result that despite being tremendously similar to its predecessor, is also remarkably different. Sure we have been graced with memorable titles such as Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas in between the two latest Elder Scrolls installments, but as...

Staggering amounts of backlash for this title aside, the fact of the matter is if you are a Marvel vs. Capcom 3 fan then you’ve probably either have already picked up Capcom’s latest versus iteration or are considering it. It is in my personal experiences that true gamers and casual gamers alike both share the feeling that Capcom has gotten a little too greedy for its own good with Ultimate, and regardless of the reasons or excuses this probably really could have been offered in the form...

Rocksteady has taken the wildly successful formula of Arkham Asylum and placed it in an open world atmosphere, creating a new formula which is even more successful than its predecessor....

Being a fan of both the post-apocalyptic  themed and open world style of gaming, Rage seemed quite appealing when it was first announced as id Software’s big return to the gaming scene. With creators of some of the most revolutionary shooters which paved the way for modern day juggernauts such as the Call of Duty, Crysis, or Dead Space games at the helm of this project, hopes couldn’t have been higher that we were looking at a truly distinctive game. Rage won Best in Show as just about...

Dark Souls should need little introduction. Even if you somehow managed to miss out on From Software’s stellar spiritual predecessor, Demon’s Souls, you probably did not escape having your gaming mettle questioned by Dark Souls' “Prepare to Die” marketing campaign over the past few months.  Yet, for those who need a refresher, you are welcome to follow me through my novice paces and impressions as catalogued here. In brief, however, Dark Souls is the follow up to 2009’s...
