E3 10: Splatterhouse Impressions
Splatterhouse is a 3D blood heavy hack and slash beat’em up game. There was nothing about it that screamed out to me to really care or add it to my list of games to watch. Most likely a rental at best. Dude at the booth would not let me record video of the game in action because he said he was worried that people would see the footage and think the game looked bad. This was the only time I w...[Read More]
E3 10: Medal of Honor Impressions
After playing Medal of Honor I can safely say it is on my day one buy list. The game is by Dice who also developed Battlefield Bad Company 2 and it shows. The shooting and movement is very akin to Battlefield Bad Company 2 but Medal of Honor seems to be a bit faster. So for the most part Medal of Honor came across to me as a game sitting somewhere in between Modern Warfare 2 and Battlefield Bad Co...[Read More]
E3 10: Kane & Lynch 2 Dog Days Impressions
Kane & Lynch 2 Dog Days does a lot of things well visually. When you take damage the visuals shift into a mode that looks like your looking at the game through a security cam recording or handicam. Its a very interesting and unique style choice. The characters also have a very nice art style though the combat is where the game fell apart for me. The guns I used had too much recoil. I dont min...[Read More]
E3 10: Spec Ops Impressions
I got a chance to see a demo run of Spec Ops. It’s a game by 2k games that is a third person shooter. The over the shoulder perspective is reminiscent of Gears of War and Resident Evil 5. The game takes place in Dubai after a huge sandstorm has wiped out most of the city. Most of the action takes place in and out of huge opulent buildings. The game initially at least revolves around a missio...[Read More]
Dead Rising 2 @ E3 With Caged Zombie
Yes, Capcom has a poor soul in a cage at the Dead Rising 2 demo area. Funny.
Battlefield Bad Company 2 Onslaught Mode Impressions
Onslaught mode is an upcoming paid DLC pack coming to Battlefield Bad Company 2. The mode features Co-op missions where with a squad of buddies you try to complete missions comprised of capturing and holding down points etc. The opposition are computer controlled soldiers and they were no pushovers. I immediately though about how nice it would have been to have co-op in the actual main campaign mo...[Read More]
Mafia II Impressions
Mafia II plays like a mix between Gran Theft Auto IV, Resident Evil 5. Sound strange? It’s a third person action game and at times felt like the camera was up too close on the back/neck of your character. The way the camera felt behind your character was remenicient of Resident Evil 5. The feel of the guns and shooting in general was pretty nice though the cover mechanics were not any where ...[Read More]
Castlevania Lord of Shadows Impressions
Good Lord this game is not so good but more like okay. Did that sound weird? I played through the Castlevania Lord of Shadows demo and it came across like a rip off of a rip off game. Did that also sound weird? Let me try again. Castlevania Lord of Shadows feels like bad rip of Dante’s Inferno. Actually it felt like a rip of a mix between Dante’s Inferno and God of War. The combat, nam...[Read More]
E3 2010: Sonic The Hedgehog 4 Episode 1 Impressions
I played a good twenty plus minutes of Sonic 4 at the Sega area today and it just did not do it for me. I actually feel bad for the developers because the game seems exactly like what fans have asked to get in a new Sonic game. What seems to be the problem is that the game itself is something I may have had fun with in the past but do not really enjoy anymore because there are new games with advan...[Read More]
