Game Review: ‘Kingdoms Of Amalur: Re-Reckoning’

THQ Nordic again came through and gave me the opportunity to give the remastered version of a past hit of EA’s, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning a try. The original RPG fantasy came out in 2012 and was praised highly by critics but today, I’ll be checking out THQ’s Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning! In this game, you play as a hero who started off dead but because of an experiment, was brought back to life! You awaken to a world that’s at war pitting mortals and immortals against one another and because your fate has yet been decided, you’re caught up in the middle of it. Now onto the game itself! When it comes to controls they’re easy to get a hold of and the tutorial helps a lot in the beginning and the manual on the main menu is a lifesaver. Wish I could say the same for the camera controls which are, sorry to be blunt, trash as it

‘The Suicide Of Rachel Foster’ Is If ‘Firewatch’ Took Place At The Overlook Hotel

A big thank you to ONE-O-ONE Games and Daedalic Entertainment for hooking me up with a copy of their thrilling atmospheric mystery, The Suicide of Rachel Foster. Warning, there are spoilers ahead. Onto the game itself, you take on the role of a woman named Nichole who just inherited her late father’s motel located in the mountains of Wyoming. While looking over the property for her lawyer, she becomes trapped due to a snow storm and her only connection to the outside is a cell phone connecting her to a FEMA agent named Irving. While stuck in the hotel, Nichole starts to experience strange events that that centers around the suicide of a teen girl connected to the hotel and Nichole’s past. When it comes to the game’s controls, there’s no tutorial really, but luckily there’s not really a whole lot you need to remember. The game advises that you use headphones and I’ll admit, it’s worth it! The voice

A Noob Plays A Souls(Like) Game: Review Of ‘Mortal Shell’

As you can guess by the title, I’ve never played a “souls” game before. I never experienced the soul-crushing repetitive nature of playing, dying, and repeating for hours at a time that makes one question why they put themselves through such mental torture…but I want to, and Cold Symmetry and Playstack were more than happy to test my resolve with their soulslike game Mortal Shell. Mortal Shell takes players to a dark world full of creepy looking enemies, creatures, and mystery as they play as a being that takes over the remains of four dead warriors and fights their way through enemies in order to attain glands from certain enemies to appease the mysterious monstrous prisoner. Now onto the game itself! Leading up to getting the review copy of Mortal Shell I watched and studied gameplay videos of Dark Souls in which this game is said to be like. Long story short, YES, Mortal Shell is on the same level

With the news a while ago announcing the delay of CD Projekt Red’s upcoming FPS Cyberpunk 2077 being pushed back to November 19th, 2020, many fans feel discouraged, but fear not! Today CD Projekt Red has released three new videos showing what fans can expect to see and hear in the world of Cyberpunk 2077! In the first video titled “Lifepaths”, players will get a look at the backstories that players can experience as V, the game’s protagonist, and how their choices in the world of Dark City can influence gameplay! For those not interested in lore but are instead a person of action, there’s the “Tools of Destruction” video showcasing V’s arsenal of weaponry including melee, firearms, and cyberware weaponry that’s at their disposal to deal with enemies they encounter along their journey.

Game Review: ‘Maid Of Sker’

A big thanks to the hardworking folks over at Wales Interactive for allowing me the opportunity to try out their first-person horror game, Maid of Sker (pronounced Scar)! In Maid of Sker, you play as Thomas, a songwriter, who goes to Hotel Sker to find his wife Elisabeth who is forced to be the new “Maid of Sker” after the original, her mother, died. After arriving, Thomas quickly learns that Elisabeth is being used as a tool in a cult ritual that needs her to sing in traditional Welsh Gaelic to appease something that Elisabeth’s family has kept secret. Onto the game itself. The game heavily relies on sound as it’s suggested that you wear headphones or play with the volume high up. The only downside is there’s way too much ambiance noise, and the player’s footsteps get annoying pretty fast. The music is pretty good, especially the traditional Welsh ones, but at times the music is intense when there’s

‘Destroy All Humans!’ Is One Giant Step On Mankind’s Boredom!

Black Forest Games and THQ Nordic have given me the chance to relive a part of my gaming past with the revamped Destroy All Humans! that surely will gain a bigger audience full of old and new fans. Some brief history of Destroy All Humans!, the game came out in 2005 from Pandemic Studios and THQ(before the name change) that was a nod to the cold war era alien invasion films and comics of the 1950s that also parodied 1950’s society that mirrored attitudes in the US at the time in ’05. I played and loved the hell out of that game back in the day, so when it was announced they were revamping it, I had to see if it held up. Destroy All Humans! is about an alien named Cryptosporidium-137, or Crypto, a clone, is tasked to go to earth to harvest human brainstems that contain DNA of their species to help further their cloning which is how

Never Before Played Level Coming To ‘Destroy All Humans!’

As our Furon overlord’s liberation approaches, old and new fans alike are no doubt getting excited to get their monkey paws on a copy of Destroy All Humans! set to arrive peacefully to our planet on Earth-date July 28, 2020, but more excited news is here about the remake/reboot of the game, it will include a never before seen or played mission called “The Wrong Stuff”. The primitive simians at THQ Nordic and Black Forest Games have carefully restored the lost level of the game after finding it foolishly hidden in the archives and have included it in the middle of the game! This was a foolish attempt to besmirch our Furon friends and cover Crypto-137’s attempts to peacefully bridge the gap between the Human race and the superior Furon Empire, WHEN WILL THE LIES END! *The writer of this article wishes to inform you that everything he has written is from his own gross primitive mouth and was in
