‘Soul Sacrifice Delta’ and the Lure of the Platinum Trophy

Sacrifice For many of us, the lure of the trophy/achievement is a powerful one. It grabs us by the man-plums and squeezes relentlessly. In some extreme cases, the trophy hunter is born; a dangerous breed of player enslaved to their gamerscore or... y’know, PlayStation’s little percentage counter thing. As for me, I’m a little more selective.…

The Problem With Proteus

Proteus When Proteus was made free with Playstation Plus, I immediately swooped in and downloaded it. I am not only an avid gamer, but a self-proposed open-minded gamer. I will try anything, and I generally like to sink my teeth in before I conclude with a final opinion. That said, occasionally a game strikes me so rapidly…

How Scary Is… ‘Resident Evil 4‘?

Evil Resident Evil 4 was the game that brought a paradigm shift to the franchise. As such, it’s an odd case that is as celebrated as it is scorned (and if anybody does scorn, it’s the nerdsassins of the Internet). Over the course of the original trilogy, we got a cast-iron sense of what Resident Evil…

Why ‘Plants Vs Zombies: Garden Warfare’ is the Best Spin-Off for Some Time

Plants Fans are a fickle bunch. Fans of video games, infinitely more so. These guys aren’t above spittle-flying nerdly tirades on the Internet, so watch your darn step. If a series changes too much --or indeed too little-- it’s like a minefield of abuse and/or poorly-spelled death threats via Twitter. Which is, all told, not fun. Spin-offs…

Retro Corner: The Best Jurassic Park Game There Ever Was

Jurassic Park Not Operation Genesis, in which you made your own dino-park. Although that was rather great, in a ‘Rollercoaster Tycoon with claws, screaming and guests fouling themselves when the Tyrannosaurus leaves his paddock for a stroll’ sort of way. I speak --as if you didn’t know-- of the Mega Drive/Genesis release, Jurassic Park. But not…

The Issue with DLC

DLC I'm not too sure if DLC was a byproduct of consumer's needs or simply to make money for the studios. I sincerely expect it was the latter, if not simply because that isn't how consumers think. I guess it's not too risque of me to say that people are generally unhappy with the idea…

‘Mario Kart 8’ and the Koopaling Controversy: What Do You Think of the Roster?

Mario Kart Mario Kart 8 has been plying its trade on Wii Us the world over for a couple of weeks now. Shells, banana peels and fancy new boomerang flowers have been flying all over the darn place. As has a heaping helping of profanity. This is Mario Kart after all, and a dose of…

How Scary Is… ‘Dead Space?’

Dead Space Resident Evil 4, as franchise fans will know, was a true revolution. Its dramatic changes to the series’ DNA weren’t universally popular (a euphemism for still cause many to go on spittle-flying Internet tirades to this day), but they were certainly radical. They also begged the question: can survival horror really work in…
