Game Reviews

        One thing that really kills me about game reviews from the biggest gaming sites and magazines is the WOW writing. That is that every games concepts and mechanics seems to be completely new and refreshing. Tone of the writing always takes a concept that may well be new to the scene but usually has already been in a few good games and pretends this is a whole new concept. It is almost as if they don't know about any games outside a dozen or so AAA titles that come out each year. Stop telling me about a gameplay feature and how awesome it is because it is new and ground breaking. If you are telling how the gameplay is ok I understand we all want to know that.

August PS4 Games

Finally a few really big games that I can look forward to for the PS4.  August will be a good month. I am not looking forward to end of July The Last of Us for PS4 since I beat it for Ps3.

More importantly they made the Witch Doctor better and usable. Large amounts of bloody carnage at 1080 and 60 fps means it will be fast paced gorgeous mayhem.  Plus a big bonus is my wife actually enjoys Diablo giving us a game to play together. Madden 15 26th Madden 25 for last Gen was trash. The new Engine was broken in so many ways. Cut scenes on the sidelines were an abomination. The Passing game was both really easy and really frustrating. Anything under 15 yards ...
