Ticknology...
Welcome back to Backloggers Anonymous for part two of our three part series on Too Human. At this point, we've finished half of the game (the first two missions) and have gotten a pretty good feel for what the title has to offer.
I feel as if a huge opportunity has been missed.
I’m aware that this is going to sound insane, but I was actually excited to give Wipeout 3 a whirl, despite being a licensed game for one of the more ridiculous shows on television. Inherently the show’s content lends itself to interesting 3D obstacle-based platforming, but more importantly, developer Behavior Interactive is responsible for Doritos Crash Course, which on the surface bears many similarities. Though free and sponsored by Doritos, the game took some serious cues from Donkey Kong Country and made for one of the more interesting platforming experiences to be released in a long while. Unfortunately, Wipeout 3 doesn’t channel that energy and instead provides an occasionally sloppy, mostly boring, licensed game.
We've got just two words for ya...
We’re back! After a month long hiatus, the Pantsless Ones return to entertain and inform on a variety of topics. We begin by catching up, which leads to a lot of comic book talk. Rob’s made a new addition to his legendary Comedian shrine, and he also may have a slight Dark Knight Rises hoarding problem. Don’t worry folks—an intervention is in the works.
Despite what the title of this review says, this game is definitely not Warlords.
Man, I really love Warlords. It’s hard to believe how great of a game it is, with its simple rules, spot-on controls, and its capability to create some of the most memorable multiplayer experiences around. Now, don’t get confused. I’m speaking about Warlords, which can be played on your Atari 2600 (or possibly in your local arcade), and definitely not some other game that is now available on PSN and XBLA. That game, Definitely Not Warlords (DNW), is an affront to the basic beauty of game design and does not deserve to carry the Warlords name.
Near the beginning of the month of December, things are quiet in the gaming world. What does that mean for PB & Jason?
This week in PB & Jason: THQ Humble Bundle is performing well. It's probably worth noting this week's PB & Jason highlights the deal and names each game. After that, there's more Vita discussion, specifically about buyer's confusion. What are the games worth buying for myself? Finally, we get to the fake parts of today's podcast. Make sure you tune in for them! Click through for the download and streaming links!
Hopefully you aren’t planning on buying this edition of the game just for Metal Gear again.
While Kojima Productions is best known for its work on the Metal Gear series, last generation they were able to sneak out a couple of other titles that took place in a war torn world dominated by mechs, known as Orbital Frames. Zone of the Enders HD Collection brings both of the PlayStation 2 titles in the series onto one disc for both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. While these games look much better and remain entertaining, they suffer from intermittent frame rate issues, as well as an overall slower pace that diehard fans will immediately notice.
All is revealed in this trailer for Far Cry 3 which is available now for the PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360.
An introduction to the seven available characters, and some other aspects to play with in The Cave.
Available now for PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360.
Already own FIFA 13 on another platform? Think twice about picking up this version.
FIFA 13 for the Wii U isn’t really FIFA 13. Sure, there’s a big “13” emblazoned right there on the box, and the rosters are all updated from last year, but those changes don’t really make it a new game. The FIFA 13 that gamers have been enjoying on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 is decidedly different from the game that has shown up on the Wii U; a game that is seemingly behind the times. At its very core, this is FIFA 12 – a good game to be sure - but a step behind the other versions that have been out for months.
